Seems that way doesn't it? The 179 has served us well but a Lance 2075 will be a nice upgrade. We traded a 2013 Nissan Frontier in for a 2023 Silverado 1500 turbo-diesel that can tow up to 9,000 lbs. The new truck tows the R-Pod like it's not even there.]]> Sat, 11 Nov 2023 13:51:26 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=15887&PID=153051#153051 Replacing kitchen sink in RPod 179 : Originally posted by JimBinOC...We... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=15887&PID=153045#153045 Author: gpokluda

That's pretty much the norm around here.

Thanks for the reply. I chickened out and decided to only replace the faucet. The Elkay sink isn't that much bigger than the stainless steel undermount sink that came with the trailer. We will probably upgrade to a bigger trailer in the next few years anyway.]]> Thu, 09 Nov 2023 18:18:50 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=15887&PID=153040#153040 Replacing kitchen sink in RPod 179 : I am pretty sure I put clamps... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=15887&PID=153039#153039 Author: StephenH

I am pretty sure I put clamps on all edges. I think the screws were long enough to allow placing them on the cleats. Unfortunately, I can't look as I no longer have the 179. As for the flexible tailpiece, look in the plumbing section of your local Lowe's or Home Depot. I am pretty sure you can find a flexible tailpiece at one of them.]]> Thu, 09 Nov 2023 15:42:01 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=15887&PID=153039#153039 Replacing kitchen sink in RPod 179 : This post is directed at StephenH.... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=15887&PID=153038#153038 Author: JimBinOC

This post is directed at StephenH. While I'm at it, thank you StephenH for your many helpful podmod posts, so many of which I have added to our 2016-1/2 179.

I am about to replace the tiny sink in our Pod with the same Elkay unit you installed but I have some questions before I start cutting up the countertop.

Were you able to install the sink clamps along the front and back of the sink or did the cabinet cleats get in the way? 

How many clamps did you end up using?

The link you provided for the flexible tailpiece no longer seems to work. Do you remember which brand it was and where you got it?
