Stainless Replacement Sink

[steve.jurnigan]

I am like a lot of others, tired of trying to get stains out of my plastic sink. Ordered Lippert S.S. replacement. Got it from etrailer. Went with this one because it's the same size as my Lippert plastic sink. Cleaned everything out and removed cabinet doors. Disconnected plumbing. Unscrewed clamps. Ran a thin knife up under the edge. Have to be careful. The countertop is not wood. It is laminated paper with a vinyl top. Clean and scraped old adhesive. Cleaned with mineral spirits and then alcohol. You get too aggressive you will damage the top. I dry fit the sink, center and tape up with masking tape. Clamp across the top and bottom to pull it tight. Mark the board so it recenter its self. Dropped it down and used clear RTV to seal. I used a good bead so it will push out. Reinstalled and clamped up. Reinstalled the existing 8 clamps. Added 5 addition clamps. Be careful on screw length. If you drill a pilot hole, use a stop on your drill bit. Before the RTV sets up, I went around the edge with rubber squeegee and clean excess and formed a nice bead. I left it for 24 hours. Came back and pulled the masking tape and replace the plumbing. Looks like they used lap sealant for plumber's putty. I went back with plumbers' putty and replaced the gaskets on the basket strainer.

Nice job Steve. Wanna do mine?

Thanks so much!! Our plastic sink has cracked at all 4 main corners. Will ride out the season with the old sink and replace it while winterizing. My main takeaway is the use of the 2"x4" and clamps to hold the sink up in place. No idea why that didn't come to me, but great tip. Secondly, the fact that the counter is just pressed paper with a plastic laminate on top was also important news.

Will measure and put in my order to eTrailer so I'm ready to go in the fall.

Very Nice! I want to do this with a single hole stainless. Thank you for the inspiration!

Now that’s a perfect installation if I do say so

lol. I came on the site tonight to ask about sinks and why-olla it’s already on there! Nice. Great tips!!

I’m looking for 25 3/4 x 14 3/4 (opening) single bowl undermount stainless steel sink. Having trouble finding exact measurements. Looked on etrailer, didn’t find one. Any suggestions on where else I can look?

I know this is old, but did you ever find one? I have those same openings dimensions.

No. Never found one. Checked with E trailer and Jayco dealer. Nada. I would have taken a drop in or undermount. Couldn’t find either. Let me know if you find something. Thanks.

Gotcha. Looking at the dimensions, I am thinking one of these should work:

Thanks. I'm interested in the single bowl. Although the sink is a little bigger than the opening. The width of the open I have is 25 3/4. This sink is 27 wide. Not sure I want to make the opening wider by cutting counter top.

Are you looking at undermount or drop in?

 

[CUCraigT]

I am probably looking at undermount. However, take a look at the actual dimensions of the sinks. They show more details on the videos. From an undermount perspective, yes it is bigger than the hole, but it has to be. The actual sink bowl (on the single) is 25"x13 7/8". So that should fit in your hole either drop in or undermount.

 

[N Saban]

ok. thanks. I'll check it out.

ok. thanks. I'll check it out.

Ours is a 2021 29rks. I am not quite ready to do the replacement, but I have my eye on this same single-hole sink. If you go with the single-hole stainless, I will be very interested in your assessment of the sink quality and the details of the upgrade. I am a little concerned about disturbing the glued wrap over the the pressed sawdust countertop. It doesn't take much for that poor quality material to fall apart on you.

Yes, I'm worried about cutting into the countertop too. I'll look at it again next time we go camping. I keep TT in a store Lot.
