All the proceeds will be going back into the channel
Thank you everyone!
Building my first camper and can happily report how good the automatic dispenser feels. My partner was so stressed about having to use a pump but she was blown away with how easy this works. Cheers man
My former employer had the bathrooms refurbished. The very expensive sinks had the same problem...the drain fittings were creating a pool of water in the sink (not the lowest point of the bowl). It was gross, people brushing their teeth or dumping soup or coffee and not rinsing out. I drove me crazy lol Anyway, I really enjoyed this video and it's getting me one step closer to making my sink. Love the eyes, btw :)
Pure genius 👌
Ahh yes the good ol mixing bowl sink. Works so well and is incredibly cheap. Looks like your Astro is starting to resemble an old friend of mine 🥲 Keep up the good work dude! And congrats on your marriage.
You didnt sell you Astro, did you?!? I am trying my best to keep it simple and cheap. Thank you very much man
Great video, thanks!
Looks good! Thanks for the truly DIY sink
Keeping it DIY friendly most important for me, Thank you caleb!
We have the same 'not completely draining' issue with our bowl sink. We already had the bowl. So far we are just living with it. If we are using our camper a lot I am going to get tired of this real quick. If I had known about the water sitting around the drain at the beginning we would have probably gone a different route - like you mentioned, buying a very small but true sink.
I am definitely going to upgrade the sink in the near future. It was a fun project, but I learned my lesson as you did 😂
Congratulations to both.....Cheers!!
I bought a mini metal sink for my van and it fitted really nice .and I have a similar tap to what you have and it fitted to the hole on the sink pretty much perfect.
I think I will stick with the salad bowl, since this is a budget build. Whenever I work on a bit nicer build, I will get a proper sink
Such a great video glad to see you back at it. And stoked to hear your honey moon went well. Hope you continue to make great DIY builds to the atro really helps out
Thanks Marcos! Glad to be back. Next project on the van will be attempting some sort of AC solution... We shall see.
YAAA. 🎉 Congrats you 2. Chris, man, I love your videos. You bring good info and put a.piece of yourself into them as well. I bought my safari last summer for my camping trips. My daughter and I watch your videos together and they make us laugh. Keep it up brother. 🖕🖕✌️
Thank you do much Super Man. That is heartwarming to hear my friend. I am glad I can bring some joy to y'alls day.
For a gasket that secures the usb pump to the counter hole use a 2.5 inch pool noodle segment. It's height adjustable.
Congratulations on y'all marriage 🙂👍🏾
Perfect 🖤👏👏
Exelente video y gracias por ponerle suf títulos y das buenas ideas aprovechando todos los espacios y exelente ideas espero se encuentren bien de salud asta la próxima desde la CDMX
La camioneta es muy pequeña, usar todo el espacio de manera eficiente es muy importante para mí. mucho amor mi amigo
where can I find the quick release piece? Is there a specific name to find this one?
What is the brand name of the faucet?
what is the white thingy you used to secure the faucet?
What drain did u useeee
Those drains that have. Lip are not good a flat one is best. If you are doing this and still cant get it to drain completely, get a turkey baster... It can pull the small amounts of liquid and u can put it in the drain...
Creative build Chris. Do you happen to have a link for the quick connect you used?

Where did you get the faucet
Amazon! Here is the link: www.amazon.com/dp/B09BSB9X2C/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_MGGCVEYN613YHY87TQPK?linkCode=ml2&tag=thededecker-20
If you don't want to buy a real sink. Perhaps if you use to work or work at a residential plumbing outfit. A lot of rich people may tear a old sink out to put a new design In. At least ask. They can only say no.
