Next message: Frank Bihon: "TWL: RE:Partial Panic Mode"
Jim:
I have owned the same boat for 20 years. For 8 of those years we lived
aboard. Both heads have Vacu-flush systems and have successfully processed
toilet paper the whole time. I do use water soluble toilet paper. They have
clogged up when guests loaded them up with Wet/Dry towelettes and similar
items but I think that is always going to be an issue with guests unless
you want to personally supervise their activities in the head.
It seems to me that since these heads are designed to handle toilet paper
why not try to make boating as civilized as possible and not gross out your
guests?
