Thanks for all the great comments. I was camping this weekend with CC on a rally and took a lot more in depth pictures. In the near future I will put together a basic plan for a build of this sink, may be a week or two but stay tuned when I have it I will try and link it here with all the other pictures.

Very, very nice job.
One thing, if that is regular pvc, it will deteriorate with exposure to sunlight.
You may want to put a uv protective paint on it.

Hello to you,
we are in Australia and love the kitchen you have built, we picked up a shelf unit the same as yours and are about to attempt to build one....
Just a couple of questions....how did you attach the poly pipe to unit, do you have more photos and you mentioned a swing out arm for lamp, I am sure everyone would like to see more photos of the mods you have done, would it be possible to see these thanks.

As it is I am having to search around here in Aus for similar items to what you used, shelves were the hardest to find 🙂
Thanks for posting this great idea

Made a few mods to the sink and took a whole bunch of pictures during the renovation. I added a swing arm faucet so you dont have to wash your hands one at a time under the spayer. Also added a lanter arm/holder and or mounts for  flashlights over the sink for night time washing, I will upload all of the pictures and try to put togeather a basic set of instructions but most of the pictures will help quite a bite.

This is very cool. I have traced it and traced it all the way back to you from google images to Pinterest through a couple websites to get back here to the original. Can you PLEASE send the instructions for this to me? Me and mine would be very grateful as we are planning our second camping trip for this summer. AWESOME!!

This is a brilliant design but I am stumped on how you get the water to flow upwards into the sink without a pump. Can you explain that to me??

I believe the parts that Joe has he would run it with the water pressure from the garden hose if there was water at the campsite.

Oh, gotcha. Yeah, that won't work for where we camp. My fiance was saying we could get a foot pump though. Hmm... will have to think on this. 🙂 Thanks!

Hi JoeCamper,

Thank you for the list and pictures for this design. I don't know if it just me but I always have a hard time finding any fittings at the home center. Could you provide us the home depot SKU# or Mfr's part number for these fittings? Thank you so much for you help.
