2023 Bathroom Sink Retrofit - Not Advisable

Has anyone inquired or determined if you can remove out the old square sink and retrofit in the new 2023 design? I would seriously love to open up the space in the bathroom by removing that old square sink. I did email nucamp as well to see if they have a diy/package to do it.

I contacted Austin at NuCamp about doing this. He said he thought it could be done but did not think anyone had done it yet. I followed up with him about what parts and costs of those parts were but never heard back. I actually looked at a 2023 model to see how easy I thought it would be. I would love to have the corner sink but after looking at it I think it would be more difficult than I want to deal with. The plumbing lines, especially the drain would be tough to move and conceal and still have proper draining. On both the 2023 and prior models the lower half of the plastic shroud that covers the plumbing lines is actually part of the molded floor. After looking at the 2023 and our 2021 I think the easier and better way to do it is to do what others have done and mount a slim permanent sink on the wall directly above the existing drain and water lines. Here are some pics of the 2023 and a 2022 with the folding sink and a link to what I think may be a better way to change out the sink.

NuCamp tech talked to the shop foreman and basically said the same thing. Not a easy swap. Which is a bummer. Looking at the photos you would need plumbing and the entire floor pan. I also believe the black tank flush line runs in that area as well.

Will be doing some more research on this. Wondering if I can remove the folding part of the sink and put a face on the basin below and just use that for the sink.Or replace with a corner sink and reduced section face like many others have done.2022 T@B 400 Boondock (~21,000 miles) as of 10/07/25

Updated the title to reflect NuCamp's recommendation.

I'm of the opinion that our folding sink is working just fine and I don't really mind it. A small permanent sink would be nicer but until something happens to our folding one I'm just going to leave well enough alone. But if it does break or have issues draining I'll probably do something very similar to what others have done in the link I posted above. As much as I like the corner sink in the 2023 I would still rather have our folding sink in the slightly larger bathroom.2021 T@b 400 BD "Vixen Gail"
