Default Plastic corner basins?

One occasionally sees pressed plastic washbasins - usually in rented
accomodation done up to no-compromise pound-shop standards. Tacky as they
are a small plastic corner basin would be ideal in my caravan WC. Of course
when I come to look for them I can't find them anywhere (and don't say
caravan shops: everything in those seems to be in a time-warp from the
worst of the 70s/80s).

Anyone seen any/know of suppliers etc?

No, but when I needed something similar I ended up using a pound shop
stainless steel bowl and cut a hole in the base for a drain. Wash hand
basin for a boat, much nicer than the cheap plastic crap.



And for a corner basin, you can just cut it into four, and offer the
other three "basins" to your caravanning friends.

;-)


Errm yes, taking the "humour" in the direction I think it was intended,
the installation I did was a corner basin. I used marine ply to make a
corner unit and mounted the basin in that.

(yes, I know there is a fatal flaw to this idea)


Oh indeed, it implies that a caravanner could have three friends, which
is obviously ludicrous.



Caravanners seem to have lots of friends. But caravanners' friends
are always caravanners.
