Help finding a small sink

New 21 ft pull behind has a bathroom but no sink

Has a commode an shower stall.
My mounting area is the wall between the commode an shower stall maybe 20 inches.
This is the same area if sitting on the commode my legs will be facing the shower stall.

Almost have to be a modified pedistal support for the sink to sit on.

Can't find a rv sink I tried using Amazon or an eBay none small enough. Links appreciated that I might try

  • I needed a small sink for a bathroom. Found a round, SS sink on ebay that was an airliner sink. You know how small those bathrooms are! Perfect fit for me.
  • drew--I use a system like that. 5 gallon bucket with a hole for a pipe--5 gallon water cooler bottle - Pump for bottle , can get a battery operated one for about $15 on Amazon. Use a plastic bowl instead of stainless, easier to make a hole in the bottom. I used stainless and would use plastic now.
  • If you go the mixing bowl, use one that has a flat bottom that will be just a tad bigger than the smallest drain, otherwise you will have one hell of a problem sealing it, and use window putty to seal the drain, it stays more flexible than silicone sealers, or use liquid nails.

  • X2 on a bar sink. No different than an RV sink.
  • If unsuccessful with RV places try the boating side like West Marine.
  • Look for a bar sink at Lowe's or Home Depot. Some are very small, both round and rectangular.

    Maybe think outside the box a bit. If you cannot find a sink that meets your needs, can you find some waterproof container that you can put a hole in the bottom of? I'd think, for example, a stainless steel mixing bowl would work nicely as a hand sink, and could pretty easily be mounted in a little countertop with some adhesive caulking or whatever. Adding an overflow drain near the top on one side would probably be a good idea so it won't overflow onto the floor of the RV.


    Very clever!

    Another idea: you could just mount a hand sanitizer dispenser on the wall...

  • You have a kitchen sink that you can use for handwashing, shaving etc. If you really need a bathroom sink try a marine supply house. Many boats have small stainless sinks that could be installed easily. Plumbing will be your biggest hurdle....Dennis
  • Try to find a RV surplus store. Elkhart, Indiana has a nice one if you're near that area.

    Most small RVs like this require you to use the kitchen sink for handwashing, shaving, brushing teeth. To me, this would be a deal breaker.

    Good luck!
