  • Transform your RV campsite by adding an outdoor sink to ANY RV! By utilizing a few pieces of specific equipment we can DIY a portable sink, with hot water, that drains into the campsite sewer dump - meaning it functions just like any other faucet inside your rig and will be of the same quality water too. I was able to add this to my rig with no permanent modifications done and its a simple DIY project that any RVer can setup.

    We did almost the exact same setup…
    With the following variations.
    1. I added an adapter on the outdoor shower to run the garden hose to the sink… hot and cold water with a mixer from the shower
    2. I used a couple adapters to drain directly into a rv sewer hose that ran to a “Y” at the campsite sewer connection… sink would drain forever without needing to switch anything to dump the rv tanks…
    I used a camco drain adapter that had a garden hose fitting and then a sewer hose “washer” cap to mate the garden hoses w the sewer hose…
    Worked great.
    Thanks for the video… it is a great easy and worthwhile project if you camping for more than a weekend…

    • @rvgearandfar
      @rvgearandfar  2 месяца назад

      The outdoor shower is definitely a skipping of the low point drain setup!
      Is the drain adapter similar to this? ruclips.net/video/VxDFXiekY7A/видео.htmlsi=KryxIOJSnYle_8uA&t=594

    The easiest way to accomplish the same thing with the water supply is to use the 'wash down' hand sprayer that is located in most wet bays. Mine on two different Jayco rigs use a quick disconnect hose with s hand sprayer, similar you find in most garden stores. The one I have now is just in my wet bay and has hot and cold. One I used to have had two different connections points. One in the wet bay with hot and cold, and another one at the front of the trailer that was just cold water. Most people use these connections for feet rinse or equipment rinse after a day on the beach.

    • @rvgearandfar
      @rvgearandfar  2 месяца назад

      Outdoor showers and wash down sprayers are a great way to do this if you have them on your rig!

    An interesting idea, I might convert my outdoor shower into a sink. I think it would get more use than the shower.

    • @rvgearandfar
      @rvgearandfar  2 месяца назад

      Utilizing the outdoor shower is a great idea - I assume you’d still have to do some adapters to get to the garden hose thread right?

      @Como7777 2 месяца назад

      @@rvgearandfar Have not really thought that far into it, but most likely. I am still trying to figure out what works best for me when it comes to the shower. Only thing I do know is, it is not the shower.

  • @askmslynnllc5363
    @askmslynnllc5363 2 месяца назад

    instead of buying the RV bucket you could make one maybe even larger. Get a flat sided tote. Add sewer connection including gate valve.to side of tote. When not in use can store sink parts in tote.

    wouldn't it make more sense to have a mixer valve at the faucet rather than trying to get a perfect temperature setup at the Washing Machine Y Mixer?

    • @rvgearandfar
      @rvgearandfar  2 месяца назад

      It would make it easier, but that would require two lines to run hot and cold to the sink location instead of mixing to one and then running that - because the other cool thing is the sink can be placed anywhere, not just next to the rig

    Why???? Outdoor showers will work for most of the things you mentioned. Seems like a lot of “stuff” to buy and hoops to jump through to solve a problem that doesn’t exist for most folks. We like to keep it simple.

    • @rvgearandfar
