When paper gets all over the "sensor" it increases the ohms trying to tell you the tank is full. But I agree with almost everyone else they are very close to worthless.

I thought OP was concerned with
Gray Tank? If so; should NOT be any paper unless he is pooping in the shower
If we must discuss Black Tank, I have noticed a trend where almost no RV owners use Thetford Chemicals in the black tank, whereas almost all Boat Owners I know do. I had a 30' ft boat at the Marina for 15 years and never had an issue with the black tank sensors. I always used 8 oz of Thetford Campafresh. So far ... (only 2 years); I do the same for the RV in the black tank and I have NEVER seen toilet paper because it has always been dissolved. Maybe my sensors will go soon, but right now, no issues.
Update: I would like to add the question? In any of the 4 RVs did you ever use well establish brand of waste tank chemicals from day one through the day it actually failed? Of course I only refer to Black tank sensors because I don't put anything in my Gray tank, but fresh water, dishwashing detergent / soaps, shampoos, and very small / minor food particles off the dishes (but disclaimer; we use throwaway paper plates as primary).
