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

Old Sink



New Sink



Enlarging sink opening.



Finished project.

Exactly what we want. Let me know if you remember where you got it.

We did this same sink on our Creek Side. And we added an under sink Dualton 2 stage water filter. So it has an additional little faucet to deliver filtered water. That sink has much more space to wash pots and pans.

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.

Milne seem to be shallower. I did some searching and did not find anything. I will hit the keyboard again tonight. This is now a project for next spring. What measurements do I take? The size of the hole of from lip top lip?

You want to use the overall measurements and the bowl size measurements. Here is a page of different stainless sinks: Moen sinks

Thank you I will check these out.

Well without being at my Trailer and looking at paper work This is as close as I can find. This is listed as "No Hole" for faucet, mine came as a single hole, and bought from Lowes for about $140 or so about 14 months ago.

That’s what I plan to do if I can fins some.

I used the lip to lip measurement to make sure there was enough depth on the countertop for a standard kitchen sink. I ended up with an Elkay single bowl. I still had to modify the rough opening and the cabinet frame to be able to put in the sink clips. The same was true of the bar sink I put in the bath.
After researching a bit online, I found both at HomeDepot.
For us, definitely worth it.

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.
