Installing an RV Toilet Paper Holder

Surprisingly some travel trailers do not have a toilet paper holder. In this post, I’ll look at three options to install one in your travel trailer.

I have found these three methods of installing an RV toilet paper holder work very well.

  1. Drill into an interior wall
  2. Suction-type toilet paper holder
  3. Free-standing toilet paper holder

Install Using Screws

This method involves drilling into the wall of your travel trailer to mount the holder. This method is the most permanent and also the most secure.

Chances are, you will be attaching the toilet paper holder to one of the interior hollow walls of your RV. You will want to use molly wall anchors to attach the toilet paper holder. 

These molly wall anchors are inexpensive and will do the job quite well. They come in a 24-piece set of 3 different sizes. You can check the latest pricing on Amazon.

If installing against the side of a vanity or other hard surfaces, consider using plastic wall anchors for a more solid fit. 

Here is a nice toilet paper holder you can easily install in your RV.

RV Toilet Paper FAQ

While we are on toilet paper lets, I found some answers to frequently asked questions about toilet paper for RVs.

  1. Is it OK to use regular toilet paper in an RV? The short answer is that if it is safe in your home’s septic tank, it will be okay to use in your travel trailer. The key feature to consider is how easily and quickly the toilet paper dissolves in your travel trailer’s black tank. Toilet paper labeled “Safe for Septic Systems” is just as good as one labeled for RV use which tends to be a bit higher in price.
  2. Do you need special toilet paper for your RV? Yes. You must use toilet paper labeled “Safe for Septic Tanks” or “Safe for RVs.” These dissolve faster than typical toilet paper.
  3. How important is RV toilet paper? It’s very important since you want to ensure the paper dissolves easily and quickly in your black tank. It will help prevent clogs and makes it easier to dump your tank.
  4. What is the best RV toilet paper? One of the highest-rated RV toilet papers on Amazon is the Thetford Aqua-soft toilet tissue. It’s a rapidly dissolving tissue that is 100% biodegradable.

An RV sewer hose support is a very important accessory. Check out our review of the 6 Best RV Sewer Hose Supports.
