According to our Thetford toilet cassette manual, we need special toilet paper for use with it. We haven't been able to get hold of this. Is it ok to use the normal paper, or will it cause problems?

We have been touring caravanners for almost 50 years and have always used our toilet fully, even over a 12-year period of 140 nights per year in Europe after retiring. We have always used the soft toilet paper we use at home or similar. We have never had a problem with toilet paper. The whole idea that it is necessary to use special paper is commercial nonsense.

This is not the first time this question has come up from newbies and one can understand why. Grossly misleading marketing.

The responses in such threads show pretty much universal agreement that the dedicated toilet paper is not necessary, but a significant proportion consistently argue that "cheaper" or "thinner" paper is to be recommended. I say, rubbish to that!

I have always used the same toilet paper that is used at home and, for me, that is always a well-known, good-quality brand. I have never experienced any problems whatsoever with this and, moreover, this is from one who has more reason than most to have to give this matter consideration - though I shall refrain from explaining why this is so!

If you stick (excuse the pun) to a length of three pieces of ordinary soft loo roll at a time, itā€™s unlikely you will get a blockage. Itā€™s those extravagant moments that are the issuešŸ˜
