Then my TV stopped running, since it is my only transportation not powered by me, that's a bad thing. Leaked coolant from the intake manifold flooding spark plugs, Replacement Spark plugs, Spark plug boots, injector pigtail, intake manifold and serpentine belt we are mobile again.

Also have a line on a pop up Frame, But have to remove the attached pop up first. It has been left open to elements for 10 years guessing everything inside is a loss.
Going to try and salvage, cabinet hardware, sink, stove, hinges latches and thing else that will be useful.

Any other suggestion about what could be useful???

Weigh all the pros & cons of having a sink, and take heed to what has been said here on the Forum regarding that part of your build. :thinking:
Personally I am so glad we voted No Sink!
Pop up trailer chassis is a good start. :thumbsup:

I agree, I thought a sink takes up too much room. I can carry water and set up my sink in a couple of plastic dish pans on a table when I'm ready to do dishes. Counter space is a premium in the back of a TD.

Yeah, I agree with the two above me, we just ordered a TD without a sink for the very same reasons.

Is this the Manual you speak of???
