You don't have to pay dearly for RV/marine tp as long as it's "septic safe" printed on the package, not a bazillion plys & use plenty of water.
Been rving for 40+ years, the last 10 full-time & have never "bought" RV tp, they've given us a package when we bought the last 2 rvs (that the DW hated using) & never had an issue with using regular tp.
If you're having the honey wagon empty your tank you must be at a stationary spot that doesn't have sewer hook ups, so filling, rinsing, adding soap/softener then driving around a bit won't work. You might buy/make a wand to stick through the toilet opening while the truck is attached & give it a good fill/rinse several times.
One other possibility is that with their 4000-5000 gallon truck emptying your 40+/- gallon tank it will seem as though they got nothing, wouldn't register on their gauge. If you're going 6 weeks you either don't use it much, you have a huge holding tank or it's going somewhere else.
You possibly have the dreaded "poop pyramid" built up in there not allowing it to completely drain.
