Go on amazon.com and do a search for "small stainless steel sinks" there are many. That's where we bought our sink for our camper you just need to know the size that you want and the size that will fit the space you have. Our camper came with a small double bowl plastic sink so I changed it for a larger double bowl stainless steel sink. I needed to use a jig saw to make the opening a little larger and the new sink is much more useful. ------------- 2018 Vista Cruiser 19BFD (2018- 2012 Vibe 6503 (2014-2019) 2009 r-pod 171 (2009-2014) Middle Tn 2014 Ram 1500 Quad cab |

We replaced our sink with an Elkay single bowl bar sink. There are several sizes available from the big box stores. You will probably have to enlarge the opening slightly. Use clear silicone caulk to seal around the perimeter. Travel often and safe Vann ------------- Vann & Laura 2015 RPod 179 https://postimg.cc/0zwKrfB9">

| I replaced our cheap white plastic sink in our 172 with an Elkay 15"x 17-1/2"x 5-1/2" Single Bowl Drop-in Sink I bought off ebay. It would have fit better if I had gotten a 6-1/2" deep model. It was the largest sink I found that would fit in the space. It also will fit normal size plates inside of it without having to tilt them. Of course you will have to enlarge the opening. I replaced my countertop at the same time with some inexpensive 1" thick butcherblock I found at Home Depot. |

| Thanks for the info...I found a stainless one and cut the opening a little bigger and dropped it in...works great! Drain pipes were a pain to re-align however we are leak free |

| Yes, I also had a little trouble aligning the drain pipes. I did a lot of measuring to get the drain to be a little past the top drawer. There's always something in the way when doing any mods. |
