Hi all.
Our oldish van has a wide but shallow sink in the kitchen area with a foldable countertop that folds down when not in use.
We always use a basin/washing bowl at home because there is always a half full cup of tea turns up when we are washing up so it is handy to be able to pour it into the sink without dirtying the wash up water.
But a standard basin is too high for the sink in the van.
I have searched for a suitable basin but to no avail.
We finally ended up with a plastic celebrations tub,that you get at xmas.but that got to near the kettle one day and got holed.
so now we are on a cadburys roses tub from Xmas.
I don't know what we will do if anything happens to that:eek:
So funsters ..do you use a basin and if you do any suggestions for something that we wouldn't have to hide if someone called(y)

We use collapsible one, it might be classed as a bucket, but it also comes with a sealable lid when flat fits in sink, then fairly high to use for washing. With lid on which clips shut securely can stand in shower with hot water & washing liquid to wash out smalls when driving. So multi purpose :)

The one thing I really do not like about my new MLI is the kitchen bowl , it is far too small as you cannot wash a plate in it, cups you can but not a dinner plate, stupid design on an otherwise good van. They did put a hanging wardrobe at the end that is not wanted or used for clothes, that is where the length of worktop went. We would rather have had worktop than the wardrobe.

Thanks all.
I tried the above basin but it was too big lengthways.
Our sink is circular.
There are five of us which means washing up after each meal.
We don't use sites that often either.

The most annoying bit is that I have come across something that LOOKS like it will fit a few times and bought it only to find it doesn't fit when I get home.
SWMBO is not impressed with 3 basins in the shed

Will the roses tub have to last me I wonder

I had a similar issue - solved it by buying a washing up bowl that fitted into one of the cupboards and used it to store the crockery. Easier to find something to fit into a cupboard than into a sink.

If like us you have a D shaped sink we picked up a collapsible D shaped silicone one from Seaflo at the Newbury show that fits exactly.
