Our sink developed cracks around the plug hole 2019. (It's a 2014 model). We don't know how this happened. Nothing was dropped in the sink. Bob thinks it is just general movement of the van during travel that caused it to crack.
OLD SINK

We used duct tape as a temporary fix, and ordered a new sink from Avan.
NEW SINK
We decided to reinforce the new sink with fibreglass before we installed it.
To remove the old sink we had to remove the mirror first. The mirror is held on with double sided tape.
We used a hair dryer to heat the mirror to loosen the glue on the tape.
Photo shows the wall behind the mirror with the old tape. We left it there, as it would have been messy to peel off. We placed new tape beside the old tape when we put the mirror back.
The sink has screws (holding it on behind the mirror) which were easily undone.
We unscrewed the drain grate, and removed the old sink.
We used a silicon gel to seal the edge of the new sink.
We clamped the sink down overnight.

No trouble since this was done, in 2019.
