The general opinion seems to be that ordinary will do quite well; I think the theory is that the "special" paper breaks down somewhat quicker/easier than ordinary in the chemical toilet, but as I assume people usually empty their toilets fairly frequently, I wouldn't have thought this was a major problem? We've always used ordinary without problems...

Thanks for the very quick reply, I thought pretty much the same thing but being a re born caravaner in this modern approach to the great outdoors I had to ask and it's not a question I fancied asking face to face!!!
P.S. I assume your message was written with a crayon????
Andrex is really fluffy and falls apart easily ( makes a right mess of your bathroom floor with its fluffy bits ) so it breaks down easy enough to use in chemical loos !

Better the mess with the paper than without

I started with the special Thetford paper. After finishing that I bought normal paper. Thetford actually created large lumps and clogging and hindered normal emptying, the normal paper dissolved well. So i never use the special paper anymore, only normal paper as that in fact functions much better that the so called special paper. All toilet papers are designed to dissolve fast as otherwise the sewage systems would get blocked every day. The variety is a matter of preference.
