Some people have total MacGyver sink set ups. Personally, I just use the little one that came with the camper. Most of the campgrounds I go to have a big sink for dish washing at the bathrooms so my sink is really used for just brushing teeth, emptying liquids, handwashing, small things. My old camper had the whole galley removed by the PO. The PO kept the sink and made this monster cabinet that hung off of the side. It was huge, heavy, and a PIA. I left it at home and just used 2 wash basins or the sink at the bath house.

Seeing the spackle buckets reminded me of many years ago. We tried something similar when I was in Boy Scouts when we would camp for 1 week in the summer....we hooked up 200' of hose from the latrine to the campsite so we didn't have to walk to the latrine for water, then we added the spackle bucket to act as a sink. The bucket was just too small to wash anything other than a plate or silverware. Our sink was constantly evolving and ended up as a huge double sink with multiple drying racks and heated water.
I like the concept and if my hand pump on my sink ever craps out, I will try to adapt the handpump idea. Personally, it seems like it takes up way too much room to justify its intended use. Maybe a different nozzle on the traditional blue container that activates when you tug a string with your foot.

We do use the sink in the pup for dish washing. But starting last trip, we've started using wash bins to do the dishes. My wife managed to find ones that are a bit bigger than normal. The dish drain fits inside, so it stows well. I've seen some PVC projects for holding the wash bins, but we just do it on the picnic table. I still pour the soapy dish water down the sink drain.
