Corner sink

[Jim T]

Hello everyone!
I have been thinking about putting a small sink in the corner of the WC of my trailer. I am definatly going to use the SS bowl idea mentioned in another post but I am wondering about the water supply. I am toying with the idea of using a small pump up sprayer stored under the cabinet and running it to a single valve connected to a faucet. Does this sound like it would work, or does anyone else have a better idea that I could steal?
Thanks, Jim

Jim, for cost, that would be hard to beat...you can also use a "manual' pump faucet...a bit more pricey but you wouldn't be constantly pumping up the sprayer

Jim;
Someone posted a gravity fed outdoor sink/faucet arrangement...the water jug sat on a shelf on the TD roof.
Maybe you could mount a water just on the wall or ceiling and run a flexible hose to a small faucet. It could be as simple as a 2 liter soda bottle on a hook like a hospital IV stand...that would be plenty of water for a few hand washings and wouldn't take up much room at all.
For a limited use application like this maybe that would work with very little engineering.

I lucked out last fall and scored an a/c and a d/c demand pump got both for $5.00 . That $2.50 each for $45.00 pumps. Still gonna mount 4" pvc belly tank under floor and pump water to the faucet. I will still carry drinking water in an approved jug for cooking and drinking but cleanup should be much easier. I was originally going to use air pressure to deliver the water much as you are suggesting. We have learned 18" of 4" pvc is 1 gallon of water !

Thanks for the advice everyone. I think I am going to try to incorporate all of the ideas. I am going to test out the gravity fed model and see if it supplies enough pressure (I will have a 3 ft drop). If it does, I can use that for a while and then easily adapt the pump up faucet. Maybe I can ask for that for Christmas!!!
Thanks for your help, Jim

If you know any nurses, maybe you can get an IV bag. Just a thought...a creepy creepy thought. (At least I didn't mention the other kind of medical bag.)

The normal IV bag holds only 1 liter of fluid (about 1 quart). Not much volume and the tubing is really small. I have cabinets full of them at work.

Since it is very possible that I would be using this sink to brush my teeth, I think I will stay away from the IV bag, and especially the other one!
Thanks for the ideas, though.

Regarding I.V. bag:

I have several of these guys and they're great, they are tough ( you can step on them- heck I'd give even money that you could run your car over it....) enough to work and come in multiple sizes there is a suck tube for using it as a hydration bladder like a "Camelback", as well as a shower head assembly(which I don't know to recommend, as its geared more to the backpacking crowd,...kinda flimsy for everyday use...) that could be modified to work with a real shower head or something....
