(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.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgvz6ZYHmo8uVLGBqgvdtEFcu5axRMWGSXuOXaJpzxwINcYgpx_APMVwbfYbFAJlQ0pirU6B_5a5c8CssRm4Mjm8Dcb46cn9xxGjt3O3-D6sIaFUMWHuTaDkCf4jCFk8HYAbCPcdydSnYQ/s3264/IMG_4588.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgvz6ZYHmo8uVLGBqgvdtEFcu5axRMWGSXuOXaJpzxwINcYgpx_APMVwbfYbFAJlQ0pirU6B_5a5c8CssRm4Mjm8Dcb46cn9xxGjt3O3-D6sIaFUMWHuTaDkCf4jCFk8HYAbCPcdydSnYQ/s320/IMG_4588.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">OLD SINK</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsl_tk3iMSAcGyEUIaxEOQX1_agf_Lcti5LmtfD1ird10sUP91iM_RbkDU3_mJYTCIDIMl_9n9wVkPGOB8MU566r4Q1T9MPCC6VUIjHbNjQ6VXwGMAupjoHVEel3mpckdzMaCh7NIYgNwf/s3264/IMG_4587.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsl_tk3iMSAcGyEUIaxEOQX1_agf_Lcti5LmtfD1ird10sUP91iM_RbkDU3_mJYTCIDIMl_9n9wVkPGOB8MU566r4Q1T9MPCC6VUIjHbNjQ6VXwGMAupjoHVEel3mpckdzMaCh7NIYgNwf/s320/IMG_4587.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">OLD SINK</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaFfr56B3IABgGKwS30VSntw42bx69qML7LrdGfya_6U5fkAKsG_k0dMyUoC2BBIdMWx3pxmWztFPr57RL0ZeD12YIy1g-8U9IHrGZxlxXoN82HJFMzal9TkjY3LfMxChpclh-PqPM_GY8/s3024/IMG_2193.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaFfr56B3IABgGKwS30VSntw42bx69qML7LrdGfya_6U5fkAKsG_k0dMyUoC2BBIdMWx3pxmWztFPr57RL0ZeD12YIy1g-8U9IHrGZxlxXoN82HJFMzal9TkjY3LfMxChpclh-PqPM_GY8/s320/IMG_2193.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We used duct tape as a temporary fix, and ordered a new sink from Avan.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4cUAz8_10QbRzhLm0OrmTHdFm8QRJCxVixBlYSYyjhY2NC6DBv028hyphenhyphenv7cX4S80yCEX0AVZTj1GiAG-3dY6uq9reJl5mvKgh5ef3d-72R5MCwU2HN0ctZzG8mZybwrPQG9Y0XdNt8kHVK/s4032/IMG_2268.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4cUAz8_10QbRzhLm0OrmTHdFm8QRJCxVixBlYSYyjhY2NC6DBv028hyphenhyphenv7cX4S80yCEX0AVZTj1GiAG-3dY6uq9reJl5mvKgh5ef3d-72R5MCwU2HN0ctZzG8mZybwrPQG9Y0XdNt8kHVK/s320/IMG_2268.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">NEW SINK</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2NUzWo26QFOMElDM3e3KOO5ndu934_DFejPff-_agvl5hJ3x1wXhVlv0DKXnioDi5K8VCzml7UZWo1gk-MK5PFXx9TSdVvdGn_32YiWOZDGDkoOshRt1QIGCyJf727sAnn2WP4mZtzOxH/s4032/IMG_2267.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2NUzWo26QFOMElDM3e3KOO5ndu934_DFejPff-_agvl5hJ3x1wXhVlv0DKXnioDi5K8VCzml7UZWo1gk-MK5PFXx9TSdVvdGn_32YiWOZDGDkoOshRt1QIGCyJf727sAnn2WP4mZtzOxH/s320/IMG_2267.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We decided to reinforce the new sink with fibreglass before we installed it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">To remove the old sink we had to remove the mirror first.

text-align: left;">When we bought our motorhome we were first timers, and we expected the shower to drain like a house shower. So we were dismayed when the floor filled with water, and the drain seemed blocked from day one!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So we decided to add a quick exit for the water, closer to the back of the unit. We did this in 2015.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">But over time, this alteration to the drain pipe from the shower improved drainage about 50%. (OK, but not great.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We suggest you only try this if you are experienced at DIY plumbing. Bob cannot do much (stroke survivor) so he gave instructions to me, and I was the labourer.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This is not "how to" instructions. It is only "what we did". </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And we don't recommend anyone doing it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">WARNING!!! THERE ARE HIDDEN WIRES ATTACHED UNDER THE FLOOR WHICH NEED TO BE LOCATED FIRST. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The wires that you see in the photo are not the problem. There are wires attached under the floor, going from front to back, that are not in this photograph.

Hello!<br />
We are Shirley and Bob Peters, and we are about to travel in a motorhome. Our first destination will be Tasmania.<br />
<br />
<br />
We will use this blog to record our trip, and we invite you to visit and see how we're faring.<br />
<br />
<br />
Bob is a photographer, and we'll be uploading some of his shots here. I am a painter and I'll also upload here, and to my other blog: <a href="http://shirleypeters.blogspot.com.au/">http://shirleypeters.blogspot.com.au</a><br />
<br />
<br />
