@melodypaz7247 Год назад

Thank you!!! Both sinks are exactly what I need! I will be converting a stepvan into a wheel- chair accessible camper. These sinks will allow the wheel-chair user to change the water containers independently. Definitely, a confidence booster. The use of a common oil drain pan will harken back to his early days in an auto recycling yard! Woo- hoo! He says you have made an old wreck of a man happy.

I wish someone would take this concept and make a shower pan for a van. It would have to be way sturdier and deeper, but if it were portable, you could just empty your shower water at a convenient place--in the woods or in a restroom.

Lol! Feel free to get creative with it so it fits your needs. Use a 5 gallon jug if you have the space. Also, the faucet doesn't have to be attached to the jug. You could hide the jug in a cabinet and run the water line through the counter top or whatever. Have fun! PS. Here's the link for the faucet amzn.to/3fwnrh1 but for the oil thingy, try Menards or any auto parts store.

This man must be an engineer, it is apparent he likes complicated stuff. A regular dish pan would have been just fine.

@VantasticPacifica 3 года назад

I don't think I like complicated stuff. My first sink was a regular dishpan but I cut a hole in the bottom and attached a drain. But then I added Wi-Fi so the sink could wirelessly connect to the hotspot in my car so I could turn it on and off with my phone. But that was before I programmed the sink with artificial intelligence so it would know when to turn itself on and off. But then the sink became self aware and hacked into a U.S. military computer. I tried to pull the plug but it didn't end well. OK, maybe you're right. Some things should just be kept simple.
