RV Sinks

Take a careful look at what type of RV you have, as campers and travel trailers often use sinks that are of a lower quality. Examine the sink you currently have installed in your RV and identify the type. Do they have any stains, chips or discolorations and are they the right size for your needs? If you do not have any built in sink covers you should decide whether you want these.

Choosing A sink

RV sinks are designed in a variety of different styles. They are most often made up of plastic, acrylic, stainless steel or solid surface. You can begin by replacing plastic sinks if you want to change the cheap feel of your camper for an upgrade. Inexpensive RV interiors usually incorporate plastic sinks. This type of upgrade will cost little and enhance your interior. If you are happy with a plastic sink you can just replace yours with a new one that does not have any stains, dings or cracks. This is a simple and inexpensive way of updating a used trailer.

Stainless Steel:

The easy to clean option sink is made of stainless steel. These are also available in several sizes and shapes and are easy to sanitize. You will have the choice of either single or double sinks and those that have a round, square of corner-styled shapes. Stainless steel sinks are protected against the elements because their metal includes nickel. Although they are stain resistant, they can sometimes dent or scratch. Since stainless steel sinks are easy to polish and maintain their shine, many RV owners prefer them. These are affordable yet give that residential feel and appearance. You need to check the ingredients of the cleaners to make sure they are safe for your stainless steel sinks as theirs should be specialized

Acrylic:

Acrylic RV sinks are a step up from plastic as they are backed with fiberglass and heat molded. These provide protection from chipping and are made in many colors. Since they are the same color all the way through it is easy to repair their dings. Acrylic sinks are able to withstand stains in almost all situations. Their prices will depend on the size and style you choose.

Solid Surface:

Solid surface sinks are the best choice if you want to feel right at home. They are an alternative option that is upscale and has become very popular in recent years. When the sink is chemically- bonded and it creates a unified and smooth look that appears as one piece, it is known as solid surface. This fixture completely avoids grout lines and areas that may be breeding grounds for mold or bacteria. Granite, stone or quartz style in colors or patterns that are consistent, are the features of solid surface RV sinks. They resist any type of penetration and stains and are easy to keep clean. These require installation by a professional and will greatly enhance the appearance of your RV.

RV sink covers are a unique feature of RV sinks. They are also designed in a variety of styles. You should always check whether your sink has an optional fitted sink cover, when buying. You can purchase a set of aftermarket RV sink covers which are great for drying racks or cutting boards. Every item you own for the RV life must offer a variety of uses in the same way an RV sink provides you with sink space as well as counter space at the same time.

You may also want to consider changing the style of your sink. You do not have to stick with a corner sink if you don't want to, you can change it. Corner sinks allow individuals to access them from different directions. Some RV's contain tiny bathroom sinks in the shower/toilet.
