When we first bought our RV I had no idea how much of a bad idea a white sink really was. If you do not know me personally I love everything to look clean and tidy and this sink was driving me crazy lol. I was always putting things to whiten it as much as possible with very little success.
Our original “white” sink
I was super excited to learn that our friends over at Lippert are the leading supplier for RVs and they have a ton of sinks and faucets to choose from.
Very EXCITED to unbox our new items!
They have these beautiful stainless steel farmers sinks which I would have totally chosen but the dimensions did not fit our current sink area. I was still extremely happy to find a sink that fit and although it wasn’t stainless steel (its stainless steel colored) it seems really well built so I do not have to worry about it chipping.
Our brand new sink and faucet!
Our specific sink and sink covers are from the Better Bath Sinks Collection. Our sink has a small curve on the upper left hand corner so our model comes in several color options including black, white and stainless steel. The one we chose is thermoformed which we found out weighs 20-25% less than what we originally had! This was a huge plus because as we get ready for our solar install less weight in the rig the better.
The faucet we chose is the Flow Max Galley Faucet model 719323 (which I fell in love with when I saw it installed in the Heartland Cyclone Toy Hauler. I love the fact that its real stainless steel because our previous faucet was painted stainless steel and Luis had no idea so he used an abrasive cleaner one time and chipped it away by accident (insert: shrugging emoji).
Before and After
We did a video showing the unboxing and installation of the sink and faucet. After two weeks I am totally still LOVING the upgrades and I am happy to say we HIGHLY recommend checking Lippert out for your next kitchen sink and faucet renovation!
Check out the video below and stay tuned for a full review in the near future:
I love it. I’ve been thinking about upgrading our RV.
Fun we are enjoying the small changes we have made so far!
I know what you mean on white sinks, they are a pain to keep clean. I have a black kitchen sink and love it.
Oh nice black must look nice and modern too!
Ekk how exciting I’m a sucker for new things and yes that includes sinks haha! I have to admit I do like stainless steel over white any day.
LOL I am glad I’m not the only one that is not crazy about white sinks
Fun, I love new products for home/rv. Makes you so happy. I have a white farmhouse sink in my house and it is hard to keep clean, but I do love it.
I love the farmhouse style!! Lippert has a stainless steel one which I LOVE it just didn’t fit in the cutout we have on our counter.
We attempted to replace our sink once, and created a mess. Had to hire a plumber.
Oh no!!! Thankfully Luis learned a lot from his father who is a plumber
Stainless is the way to go! It looks great and won’t show all the scratches. I had a white sink before and we now have stainless too!
I totally agree such a small thing makes a huge difference!
I’m really happy with our stainless sink but our faucet has got to go. I’ll be checking Lippert out for sure. Thanks for sharing
I love ur new faucet! Lippert has some great selections for sure!!!
I love the new sink! I know what you mean, I also hate seeing stains on sinks! It’s so cool that you guys adventure in RV’s by the way!

Thank you we are totally loving it! Perfect lifestyle for us for sure!!!
This is pretty exciting. You get to style and organize your RV all you want. Plus you can travel in the comforts of your home.
I totally relate to you with the white sink. I have a stainless steel sink at my home so it’s not much of a problem. But the idea of RV is so cool.
Yea white sinks #NoBueno lol
Steel sinks are my favorite. My auntie has white ceramic sink in her kitchen and it has been all scratched up with utensils and dishes scraping it. Ugh!
Yea white sinks are only great when they are first installed and never used LOL
I am so excited I came across your blog! My family of 6 dreams of doing this and we will be getting lots of ideas from you!
This is so awesome I love helping others looking to do this lifestyle believe that they truly can!!!
It looks like a big improvement from your last installment. Thanks for sharing your unboxing and the installation of this!
If I ever have to install a sink I’ll be using this as a blueprint! Haha, I’m sure a lot of others think the same. Bookmarking! 🙂
Glad you found it useful Suzanne!!!
Great job on the install lady! I also have my eyes on the farmer’s kitchen sink, they are so chic.
Thank you! Yes super chic I love them sad it didn’t fit in here!
Awesome! This is so rad!! OMG my husband wants an RV so badly!!!
We love it for sure! Heck yea if he wants one go for it!!! Awesome way to travel and explore!
How exciting! We love interior design.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love what you chose! It’s simple and beautiful. We need to get a new sink soon!
What a cool post! I love the new choice. I like sinks with two compartments like that. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
I don’t know much about interior and installation but I certainly think the new one is so much better than the old. You did a great job!
Steels are easy to clean and maintain. Love your home RV for sure. Definitely voting for the after picture.
Thank you so much we are loving it too!!!
The before and after pic is great. Stainless steel is so popular and it looks so much better than the white.
Thank you! Yes totally agree white was beautiful when it wasn’t used lol
You look like you’re having fun! Ever since we purchased our first home, 4 years ago, I’ve become quite the handywoman. I just have to say, YouTube is my friend.
LOL ha I love it! I love youtube university!
Living in a RV??? Really??? Thats awesome. Not thinkable in my place. The sink looks beautiful. Congratulations. The video was extremely helpful to undetstand the process in details. Nuce DIY tips.
Yes we love it! It allows us the freedom to travel with our little ones! Thank you glad you enjoyed the video!
I love updating as much as possible around the house. My mom is looking into updating her sink as well. She has a white one and still loves it. It’s gotta go.
Wow I’m surprised it hasn’t driven her crazy yet ours just wouldn’t stay looking clean not fun!
GOALS…. we are looking at getting an RV sometime in the next few years!
How exciting!!!
I really love this so much. A kitchen sink is a big deal to me in my home because I’m in the kitchen 90% of my time, lol. I’ve always wanted an RV and can’t wait to get one.
upgrading a sink can really improve a kitchen. Yours looks great. We upgraded to a crushed granite sink instead of a stainless steel. Always get compliments on it!
thank you so much I agree it makes a nice change to the kitchen! Oh thats awesome I haven’t seen a crushed granite sink!
