I think we all can agree that overall space and countertop space is a premium in motorhomes. Then why do manufacturers put double sinks in their units (even b type)? My coachmen has about 4 inch of counterpace between my stovetop and double sink. I only use one sink at a time. I'm considering changing to a single sink and gain about 12 inches or more of counterspace. Any drawbacks to doing this?

We're tight on space but use 2 sinks often when washing/rinsing dishes. You could always get a cover for one side to increase counterspace and easily remove if you ever do need the second side.

In our motorhome and truck camper, I put a dish drainer in one side and had a fitted cover that went over it to increase counter space. It worked really well. In our new Class C I have 1 round sink that I consider useless. I will adapt I'm sure, but there is no place to keep a dish drainer rack that takes up valuable space. I am using a flat dish drainer which is easy to store.

Make a cover for the sink so when your not using it as a sink it becomes counter space. We store items in the sink when we are on the road so they don't bounce around.

We've had double sinks in both Class C's and I would want them again. Wash in one side, drain in the other. We have a cover that handles one side when we realy need more space. We're fortunate to have about 15" of counter space between sink and stove.

Ours has a cover for one of the sinks that creates more counter. I have also seen rigs with counters similar to mine attach a folding counter top on the end. Folded down there is walk space, folded up they make for a tight corner to get to the rear, but give another 2 feet or so of counter top.Jose
