Kitchen Sink Mod for 2019 T@b 400 with no extra cuts or moving the hinge

Oinfront

So we wanted to upgrade the sink in our 2019 T@b400. We wanted a bigger deeper sink and a home style faucet.

I first started with purchasing the Houzer brand top mount sink. The sink is 17.5 wide with the bowl measuring 15" :https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B2R4FN7C?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

And this faucet : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B2R4FN7C?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

I then wanted to see if the sink walls would fit in between the framing that the doors and hinges are attached to. Other post Ive seen have had to cut into these and move a hinge down. So I removed the center support to check. And it did!



After knowing that, I know as long as the sink is installed with the center of the drain being the same distance apart from each support, the sink walls will fit. So I placed the sink upside-down about where I wanted it. I then attached some cord with a socket at the end to weight it down and then hung it through the center of the drain of the sink. I kept moving the sink around until the measurements were the same and I liked the placement.




Once I got that right I made the cut with my jigsaw and it fit perfectly!



I then cut the hole for the faucet using a 1 1/4 bit.



I installed the faucet and did a little bit of plumbing work to fit and was done!



Tested for leaks and all was good.

Im pumped for our trip to the mountains in a couple of weeks to use the new sink!

I wanted to share this mod, but really more of the way to center the sink in-between the frame to make life a bit easier and a bit cleaner of an install for anyone doing this mod. 

Thanks for reading!

Well done!  I did the hinge move, but our sink is larger diameter so that was a must.  Love having the deeper larger sink and better faucet.

@Horigan yes we are excited for the bigger space. How big is your sink?

Horigan

@Oinfront. This big.

Both links went to the faucet. I'm assuming that the sink was this one?

I installed the same sink as @Horigan and it’s easily the best mod mine done to our 400. Nucamp really needs to ditch the Dometic sink and just use a residential bar sink and real faucet. I know some love the glass too but we rarely found ourselves using it and doing dishes in the bigger sink is a dream.

@cameron correct that is the same sink I used. Sorry for the confusion.

@Oinfront excellent! That's the one I have purchased for a similar project in our 400

Wanted to update on this mod. I got an 18” round cutting board from Costco for $20 and made it into my sink cover. I grabbed some rubber feet from Amazon and added them to the board so it wouldn’t slide around and fits inside the sink. And it works great!

Nice!
