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?

Not a corner model, but any use?

CLEO FOLDAWAY BASIN

The Cleo Foldaway Basin is a space saving unit, designed as an easy fit

easy cleaning.

The unit has its own integral catchment tank and there is ample space
available to fit most popular caravan mixer taps.

the caravan wall by six simple screw fixings. The other important
dimensions are 660mm high x 520mm wide x 430mm (basin in the drop down
position).

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.

I have the s/s dog's drinking bowl just for this application, but realised
that a waste would end up proud to the surface so it would never properly
drain (unless I glued it to the underside). And anyway a corner basin is
what the space requires.
