After using a drop in packet and finding it still whole 2 days later I only use liquids. My personal choice is TST Citrus, smellls good for a couople of days and then it doesnt STINK like others. YMMV

No fuss, no muss.
Fill the bowl with water, add a scoop, swirl it around and flush it down.

There are multiple things you can use but the one thing I won't use are the "tablets". Like Chuck, the one time I tried to use them they were still "packets" when it came time to dump.

I still use the Geo method. Does the Happy Camper eliminate the need to use the water softener and detergent?

I use liquids but not for cleaning it. I get whatever's on sale (typically buy it off season) in a flavor of choice like citrus. I use it for the smell only. To clean it I use a little Dawn & Calgon and about 5 gal of water after dumping the black tank.

Dawn & either Calgon or Downy fabric softener with a few gallons of water, all easy to find & use.
If you're paying for some so called digestor type you're wasting money, typically it's not in the tank long enough to digest anything. The soap & water sloshing around during travel works just as well.
Using rv toilet paper is also a waste if money. Any of the DWs favorite 2 ply tp that states it's septic safe will work just fine. The biggest thing is use plenty of water per flush. Once the bowl has dumped continue adding water for another 5 count & you should never have any problems.
Just be sure NOTHING but bodily excretions & septic safe tp get flushed & ABSOLUTELY nothing else regardless of what you may do or not do at home!!!!!
