Yep, sure is Ira. My father in law sent me two extra sinks from a boat he was working on. One is a bit larger than the other as you can tell.
I am thinking of installing the thinner of the two in the middle section of the counter (between the electrical and cooler storage cabinets). If not there, I will installed the larger of the two on a table wing.
He came down last week for my daughters HS graduation, looked over the trailer, and then told me he can send me a water tank and pump if I wanted it. Thinking about taking him up on that too.
Thanks Steve.

Don't forget to run your wiring before putting the inner skin on. Make sure and annotate where it is too!! Especially if you are going to put the license plate and taillights on the hatch!! I took a picture of my hatch before I put the interior skin on and then printed it and put measurements on to mark wiring and blocking that I needed for a papertowel holder and the latch mechanism. Also had blocking for the hatch light that I installed. I left the taillights on the trailer frame, though.

Posted: Wed Jun 07, 2006 9:35 amThanks for the reminder Kerry! Tail lights will stay on the trailer frame, license plate, haven't really thought about. Guess I better. 
I do need to run an overhead light though.
The picture is a good idea, thank again!

Hey Earl,
The trailer is coming along nicely. Bet you can't wait to get her out on the open road!
Does this mean that you and I are hatchlings?

Thanks Joanne. Well, I guess it does mean just that.
Thanks Chris. My wife told that now it looks like something we can use.
