Re: PS comment about facial tissues in the head. Buy a weighted teak or resin cube tissue box holder, spray-glue non-skid to the bottom, and use a roll of potty paper inside.

That was my normal go-to at home before I was shamed for wanting to re-engineer everything I put my hands on. :shock: 8)

Guys : The best way to treat your holding than is NO PAPER in to the head/holding tank!!!

I talked to the Japsco reps and they agree!! 

We put all used toilet tissue/paper in a zip lock bag and dispose of it with the garbage!!

A few thoughts

I get the science, but I would never get any guests on board if I asked them to pack in and pack out toilet paper!  :D

Just looking for everyone's experience on this.  Would that include uninvited "guests"?  You know, the, "I see you're going out alone today. Can I tag along?" type dock neighbors? :rolling :donno: :cry4` :shock: :?: :|

The "no paper" technique works, and we took up the idea after trips to the Dominican Republic and Costa Rica.  If you line a small waste can with deodorizing trash bags, and it has a lid, it works flawlessly.
The Admiral is fully on-board with this, and in five years no guest has ever balked to our faces at least.
Recently we switched to a C355 and carry this no-paper practice forward.

Of course, YMMV.

I honestly have never had any trouble with TP being a problem.  We just bought a big batch of single ply from the grocery store and it goes down just fine.  I use a No Flex digester in our tank and flush it twice when pumping it out.  I have never yet had an issue.

I agree wholeheartedly, and this ^^^ is what we have been doing for the last 25 years with no issues.
