Caravan Sinks & Basins for Compact Kitchens and Bathrooms
Fit out your caravan kitchen or bathroom with compact sinks and basins made for mobile use. Lightweight and easy to clean, these models are tailored for space-saving installations and simple plumbing.
Caravan Sinks & Basins Australia: Compact, Durable & Built for Van Life
A good caravan sink makes life on the road easier, from washing up after dinner to quick morning routines. Our range of caravan sinks and basins is designed for compact spaces, efficient water use and rough-road durability. From lightweight stainless steel kitchen bowls to premium ceramic bathroom basins, each piece balances function, weight and style for Australian touring.
Kitchen sinks for caravans
Pick a bowl that fits your benchtop cut-out and leaves room for cooktops or slide-out prep. The NCE 780mm One-Piece Square Sink with Centre Drain offers a sleek, easy-clean surface and smart drainage that speeds up wash-up while minimising water use. Stainless steel keeps weight low, resists corrosion and tolerates daily bumps without chipping.
Caravan basins for bathrooms
Small bathrooms need compact fixtures that still feel premium. The 385mm Ceramic Rectangle Basin brings a modern look with a durable glazed finish that is simple to keep clean. Its footprint suits tight van layouts while the straight walls maximise usable bowl volume.
Sink and basin materials compared
| Material | Strengths | Best use | Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stainless steel (304/316) | Lightweight, tough, easy to clean, won’t chip | Kitchen sinks, off-road touring | Use non-abrasive cleaners to maintain finish |
| Ceramic (vitreous china) | Premium feel, scratch resistant glaze, easy to sanitise | Bathroom basins, resort-style interiors | Heavier than steel, protect during travel and install |
| Composite/plastic | Very light, budget-friendly | Weight-critical builds | Less heat resistance and long-term wear vs steel/ceramic |
Weight matters for towing and payload. Stainless keeps kilos down in kitchens; ceramic lifts bathroom feel where weight impact is smaller.
Sizing and install planning
| Step | Why it matters | What to check | Quick tip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Measure the cut-out | Ensures a neat fit and seal compression | Opening size and corner radius | Measure the hole, not the outer flange |
| Confirm bench thickness | Clamp range and stability | Benchtop thickness and substrate | Add backing plates on thin or honeycomb benches |
| Plan tap and waste positions | Hose routing and service access | Tap hole spacing, trap clearance, drawer runners | Mock up with cardboard to avoid clashes |
| Select sealant | Waterproof and easy service later | Caravan-grade, non-acid cure sealant | Lay one continuous bead; torque evenly in stages |
Plumbing and water efficiency
Caravan plumbing uses flexible hoses, compact traps and low-flow taps to save water and weight. Aerated mixers reduce usage without hurting rinse performance. Keep runs short, include a service loop for movement and use food-safe hoses for drinking supplies. If you travel off-grid, pair your sink with filtration from our caravan plumbing & fittings collection to improve taste and protect appliances.
Care and maintenance
Rinse after salty or dusty trips and dry the bowl before travel. Use soft sponges and plastic-safe or stainless-friendly cleaners. For ceramic, avoid sudden temperature shock and pad the bowl when transporting heavy pans. Check wastes and traps for vibration loosening after corrugations and re-torque as needed.
