Anyone recommend an update to the tiny sink in the camplites

[nmken]

This looks good on the 21' CLs.  On the 16TBS though there are a number of standard-depth electrical boxes that intrude into the inside of the cabinet - I ended up with about 2" of clearance at the right front corner to these boxes.  I would be concerned that the larger sink would not fit due to this one constraint.  For anyone contemplating - be sure to measure that area closely before you start cutting and let us know if you come up with an answer!

A little update. I just got done building a custom cutting board that fits into the sink. We're ready to check out Florida next month! The more I work on the Camp Lite, the more I like it.[attachment id="548" thumbnail="1"]

That is oak. I screwed (4) 1 1/8" x 5" blocks NESW on the underside to keep it in place. The blocks act as "feet" when placed on the countertop. We will definitely use this a lot !!

[font face="arial" size="3"]Camplite 21RBS kitchen sink upgrade. [/font][font face="arial" size="3"]I'll call this my Golielocks sink upgrade. Tinkeringtechie's choice was a little too small and Gleamb's choice was a little too big so I went down the middle and it's just right. The Elkay 17x20 inch stainless sink fits perfectly in the 21RBS. It should also fit the 21BHS and 28BHS, but maybe not the 16s.

After outlining the new cutout with painter's tape and measuring, re-measuring, re-measuring, re-measuring, and re-measuring again the cut was easily made with a fine tooth scroll blade in a jigsaw.

The drain stack was rebuilt with a new P-trap and sanitary Tee to accommodate the deeper sink. The sink flange was sealed onto the counter top with Butyl tape.

The hardest part was tightening the U-channel clamps while working in the limited access space. It took me a while to realize that three screws would remove the cabinet door. Lots easier! The thick counter top requires the extra long screw package.
 
The supply lines were connected using ½" x ½" plastic compression PEX fittings. Note the threads must be BSP or BSPP, not NPT.

My wife and chief dishwasher is thrilled with the larger sink and reduced splashing. Now we don't have to wash dishes after using just two mugs and two plates.

Here are the major parts required:

Hi Charliem.....I really like this mod and the links for the parts are very helpful as I may do the same.  I also like the two hand pump idea, one for handsoap and one for dish soap perhaps?

Thanks!

[font size="3"]That's my wife's plan. Of course I'll never keep them straight. Fortunately my hands don't care if they're called hands or dishes.

The sink mod really makes a difference.[/font] [font size="3"] The volume of the new sink is 2X that of the original sink.
