Yes I was thinking something along these lines too!

Your van is looking lovely! A random suggestion. If you cut your sink cover in half, on the long side. Or even ⅔ / ⅓ you can still have sink access to run your tap, but create a bit more bench space for prep. …Oops! Just realised this vid is 3 yr old! Oh well. It’s still lovely, and dividing the sink is still handy. So i’ll leave the comment as is 😂

Really nice job. That sink is really compact and maximises the space. Good lessons for campervan builders.

This one popped up so decided to watch it ...

if a sandwich won't work, simply screw, if that won't work, use silicon grease so it slides in but won't get stuck ... are we still talking about van builds ? somehow I hope that's not the only subject ;) ... as someone once misquoted : a dirty mind is a joy forever ;) btw, you might need a router on the bottom piece to get it all slotting in nicely without any unwanted leaks :p
