Sink and Drains:
We figured a SINK would be a good addition to our otherwise minimalist kitchen area. I decided on a wall mount one for space reasons. We got a wall mount “hand sink” and mounted that. The sink (from eBay) came with a faucet and drain. The most difficult part of the whole sink project was finding a drain trap to fit it. I finally found one that fit well, it’s an RV item even! After using the sink for a while we learned it splashes a lot so I cut a side “splash guard” out of some stainless and screwed it to the side of the sink.
We use a filter on the end of the hose when we fill the water tank, or when we hook the hose up to the truck but we added a secondary filter anyway since some water can be pretty nasty and we will be using some of the sink’s water for drinking. I decided to attach a replaceable water filter under the sink and have it plumbed to the “COLD” water faucet. The “HOT” water faucet doesn’t go through this filter. (we have no water heater either, so this setup makes more sense than 2 fauces doing the same thing).
We didn’t need a grey water tank for the drain water so I just ran tubing from the drain trap down to a coupler bar I made under the box (above the pintle area). When we get to a campsite, we hook up a short hose connection to the drain coupler (larger of the couplings shown in the pic) and the other end of the hose into a Military Water Can.
