Always wondered about those people that wouldn't use their toilet think of those outhouses when they go somewhere that doesn't have full bathrooms. Do they like that smell and all the cobwebs with spiders all around.

In your original post you mention "WE" so I would assume you have a spouse, as far as I know women use little amounts of TP or what you are most likely calling marshmallows when they do a #1 .
Use the restroom for its intended purpose and use plenty of water and a TP that breaks down in the tank as it sounds like your in full service areas generally anyway.The only thing that works on a RV is the owner...

I concur. Being the oldest of four I was "volunteered" to take the coffee can down to the bathroom every morning. Only our mom was allowed to use the potty and then only at night.
When I finally got my own trailer I made sure the potty was working normally. Since I have to do the dumping anyway I may as well use it all the time. My wife and I can got a full 15 days without having to dump the black tank on our Solitude. My brother has a new Cedar Creek Hathaway, the top model of that line. He figures it is only for night use. His loss.Last edited by fez111; 07-03-2021 at 03:01 PM.

Ran this past the wife she says the first time I have to put my clothes back on and go out in the cold to use campground facilities late at night will be the last time I go camping with you. Do you want your wife/child of any young age walking in the dark to the bathroom? I agree after spending $70,000 dollars for a camper and to force everyone to "go" over there or not put paper in the toliet is ridiculous. So what happens in the middle of the night, Oh... it`s pouring down raining or snowing or what if your having stomach problems like we all do from time to time... "am I going to make it, am I going to make it". "Yeh well your going to have to hold it Honey if you don`t want to go out in the howling rain. Life happens, better prepared then have to adapt for no good reason.

Several responses to your original post appear to have a “piling on” (no pun intended) vibe of criticism and opinions related to your restroom practices… which is unfortunate because I think your question is submitted out if genuine curiosity and concern. Nonetheless, I hope you’ll continue to stay engaged on the forum, as it’s generally a great place to learn and contribute… and I choose to assume good will was intended from those critiquing your general rule of practice.
Anyway, in my opinion, the best way to truly know what’s happening with your black tank system would be to first use it as it was intended to be used… even if just temporarily… to assess if things are actually functioning properly inside the tank. I also suggest that what you’re seeing is likely just TP. Perhaps there isn’t enough “activity” going on in the tank for the product you’re using to effectively break down whatever brand of TP you’re using? Depending upon the outcomes (again, no pun intended) of any (temporary?) change in your rules or practice, you can then determine what (if any) level of concern and action would be best for you and your rig moving forward.
And as the saying goes, “water is your friend,” along with using the proper TP product.
All the best to you.Last edited by Mobile Mesa; 07-04-2021 at 08:28 AM.

Mine too
I have the same thing happening with all three tanks. Not a lot but I can see them for sure. We don't use TP either. They're not very big but I think posibly it's certain waste whitened by the chemical in the black tank. The ones in the gray tanks are small, maybe the size of a nickel and just a minimal amount. I dont really think its something to worry about. Just my opinion.
What changed for the new GD...
