New Sink July 02, 2023, 02:41:30 pm It just goes to show that some people are never satisfied. So I put a new faucet on the sink and replaced both of the drains. Took a trip and started hatin' on that double sink. Anyhow, out with the old and in with a single tub. This is more like it and also, without all the double sink plumbing there's more room down below. A win-win!jor 5 Likes

Re: New Sink Reply #2 – July 02, 2023, 03:15:03 pm Looks absolutely fantastic, Jor! I too dislike the double sink, and will probably try to switch it out at some point (perhaps at the same time I replace the already-purchased faucet). Where did you get that sink? Do you have a model #, so that I can check the specs? Jason

I thought about replacing the counter with butcher block which would allow for more choice in sinks but decided to just do the sink for now. jor 5 Likes As an Amazon Associate Lazy Daze Owners' Group earns from qualifying purchases.

Re: New Sink Reply #8 – July 03, 2023, 04:21:50 pm Thanks! One more question - what with did you coat the underside of the sink, and why?Steve
Re: New Sink Reply #9 – July 03, 2023, 05:29:12 pm This sink has more depth than the stock sink and this can be an issue with drains that go straight into the wall instead of dropping through the lower cabinet’s top shelf. Older T/Ks have this problem.This isn’t a problem for Steve’s and our 24’ FLs.Our sink is developing tiny surface cracks around the drains.Larry
Re: New Sink Reply #10 – July 03, 2023, 05:50:15 pm Quote what with did you coat the underside of the sink, and why?The sink is lightweight ASB. I had some extra sound deadening material (same stuff I used on the doghouse). You know how sinks usually have some kind of thicker coating on the bottom. That was the idea. jor 2 Likes
Re: New Sink Reply #11 – July 03, 2023, 06:48:10 pm You just made my day! There were only 3 left when I ordered. We have a 2000 26.5MB. Did you need to drill a new hole for the faucet? Looks amazing!Pat

Anyhow, in another rig I was trying to get more room under the sink. I installed this gizmo which eliminates the p-trap. Works great.

Re: New Sink Reply #18 – July 04, 2023, 01:47:12 pm So for those thinking of a single sink bowl, JOR's no 'P' trap might go with this Houzer Kitchen Sink - Stainless Steel 25" Metal Topmount Drop In Multipurpose... stainless sink. At 8" deep it is 1.4" deeper than the Lippert. 20 gauge is a bit thin, but about the same counter depth overall. The angled fit in the Midbath might be hard to do. Just browsing for sinks that would fit. Found a smaller sink. Bar Sink, MENSARJOR 14'' x 18'' Single Bowl Kitchen Sink, 16 Gauge Undermount... As an undermount, it should be useable as a drop-in sink also. That would mitigate the depth, so it wouldn't take up as much room underneath. JOR did you have to cut any counter away to fit your sink? RonB As an Amazon Associate Lazy Daze Owners' Group earns from qualifying purchases.
Re: New Sink Reply #19 – July 04, 2023, 02:50:56 pm QuoteJOR did you have to cut any counter away to fit your sink? Yes. One half inch on the back and one inch on the front. The sides were good. To get a 25 incher in there is a tight fit. Matter of fact, I had to narrow the top drawer (next to stove) 1/2" to clear the sink. On the mid bath, I don't think that stainless one you found would work. Just not enough room. And the under mount is too small for the factory cutout (on my rig). jor 1 Likes
Re: New Sink Reply #20 – July 04, 2023, 03:43:27 pm Forgot to mention. I glued in a couple of 2/2s to give the very thin counter some reinforcement.jor 3 Likes
Re: New Sink Reply #21 – July 04, 2023, 07:30:09 pm Hi Jor; I had no idea that counter was that thin. Not like LD to do that. I forgot about the drawer clearance issue. In my 'TK the drawers are almost in another cabinet, but I would lose some of what little counter surface area I have. RonB
Re: New Sink Reply #22 – July 04, 2023, 11:32:07 pm The Factory acrylic sink is glued in place, providing structural strength to the countertop,I doubt if the PVC replacement is as rigid as the original, reinforcement seems like a good idea.Larry
