I went out to the warehouse to inspect the Camco RV and Marine Septic Safe Toilet Tissue, # CAM40276, and the 2-ply version # CAM40274. I also spoke to a co-worker who has used these items and got her opinions.

The single ply is soft but thin like any single ply toilet tissue. When bunched up it is fairly strong and I would not anticipate breakage problems. My co-worker confirmed this saying they have never had a problem with it breaking. Since the material is thin and designed to dissolve quickly it is unlikely to clog a septic system. My co-worker also confirmed this saying that they have never had clogging problems.

The 2-ply is softer and sturdier as you would expect. The breakage strength is a good 50 percent better than the single ply. But what gives it its strength and softness also makes it more likely to clog a septic system. My co-worker again confirmed this as well.

My recommendation would be to give the single ply a chance and if that does not fit your needs give the 2-ply a chance. I have linked video reviews of each and a video I made showing a little more of the products.
