How to Install a Sink in Your Van Conversion

A galley sink is one of the most satisfying milestones—and a common leak point if rushed.

Steps overview

  1. Choose a small stainless or acrylic sink sized to your counter
  2. Cut countertop hole with template; file edges smooth
  3. Mount faucet; run cold line from pump or foot pump
  4. Drain to grey tank with P-trap or trapless RV trap per local rules
  5. Test with basin full before closing cabinets

Use thread sealant on fittings; hand tight plus a quarter turn—not gorilla strength.
