We bought this sink: Reginox 1 Bowl Integrated Stainless Steel Kitchen Sink with Waste (plumbworld.co.uk)<\/a>, as it was an appropriate size, depth and a good price. If you want to be washing up equipment inside the trailer, you will need 2 sinks as 1 must be a dedicated handwash sink. We have 1 handwash only sink.

Now we had the sink dimensions, we marked it out on the main counter and used a jigsaw to cut out the hole. We wanted to reuse the cut-out as an insert to fill in the hole when the sink was not in use, so there was no room for error on the cutting!<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

We made schematics of our proposed water system to understand the ins and outs of it. Then we set about sourcing the components.

We needed a water pump to move water around the system, and a water heater. Ideally neither demanding a lot of electricity.

Redring Stored Undersink 6L Water Heater 1.5kW |<\/a>
12v CARAVAN \/ MOTORHOME \/ BOAT 60PSI DIAPHRAGM WATER PUMP (seaflo-uk.com)<\/a>

Additionally the system needed; a 240v-12v converter for the water pump, a compression chamber (to give space for expanding hot water), one-way valves, pressure relief valve, and a drainage valve (at the lowest point to drain the system).

Plus 2x 25L jerry cans for fresh and waste water.<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
