Water and gas

The sink, faucet and soap dispenser are in place and the water lines and drain are connected. Forrest says it's the most beautiful sink in the world. I agree.

The propane lines for the stove, water heater and space heater have been strung and need to be clipped neatly in place. The water drain still needs its final connection.

The cool thing is the repurposed stainless steel cups recessed into the counter, behind the stove, to hold utensils (on the right) and silverware (on the left). The block between them will be slotted for knives. Slick.

  1. That is a pretty sink. I always wonder if it's difficult to keep crud from building up in that sharp angle between the bottom and the walls.

    1. I had a sink like that, only larger. No, it's not hard to keep the corners clean.

  3. That is a very nice sink and faucet! In fact, I'd like to know the name/brand of the faucet, if you could, because I hate the ones with "side handles" (so unintuitive to turn on and off) and this is the first one I've seen with a center handle. Want! Well and I want the sink, too :D

    A note: That looks like the flexible yellow gas line often used in houses. That is not "allowed" in moving vehicles because although it is flexible, it will not tolerate vibration or repeated movement. It's mean to flex once and no more.

    An alternative would be the type of flexible line used on boats. Trident makes some "ready to go" ones, or Sure Marine in Seattle will make a custom size, even with bulkhead connectors pre-installed. I've used the Trident on a marine stove in an RV and it's a good product. The 3/8" flares are already on it (female to female as I recall). In that case one of the Trident pre-made ones was the right size, and I didn't need any bulkhead fittings on it.

    1. The faucet is just a side handle one rotated 90 degrees.
