Well we replaced our old plastic sink with a high quality Monen SS double bowl. I recall the cost was $140 as it is a heaver gauge SS. I can't find the post I placed with the part number

Exactly what we want. Let me know if you remember where you got it.
Oldcow- Any big box SS sink that will fit in the opening will work. Just have to make sure you can tighten the faucet nuts from below, or install the faucet before you install the sink.
- Before you remove the existing sink check the drain sizes and the availability of adapters and or replacement parts! RV'S are notorious for using odd sizes.
- RV sized sinks are sold as bar top sinks in the retail market. Traditionally, they are smaller than a standard kitchen sink. That may not be true with your RV. Measure the size of your original sink and shop with those measurements.
FWIW, I restored both a polymer bath sink and a double bowl stainless in my trailer using rubbing compound and some sweat equity. They are now gleaming like new. - Well we replaced our old plastic sink with a high quality Monen SS double bowl. I recall the cost was $140 as it is a heaver gauge SS.

Finished project. - Funny you should ask, just received my new 19 X 25 inch Elkay SS double sink from Amazon today to install in my new to me MH. $46 (prime) if I remember right. Comes with clips. What a deal!!!! Lowes has what seems to be the same sink for about $103.00.
About 3 years ago I replaced the old plastic one in my old TT. I bought that one from Lowes for $76.00. Looks just like the one I got today.
FYI the removal of the old plastic double sink to the SS double sink was fairly easy (I might have been lucky). I had to open the old sink hole about an 1/2" all around, supply lines fit fine and minor mods to the drain lines. - Try google for RV kitchen sinks. I replaced the plastic sink in our last 5er with granite composite. Present 5er came with ss sink DW wants it replaced with a granite composite.
- Methinks any big box store.
