Love the flip-down sink Loren. Great idea!
Let's see your on-board water set-ups!

I too love the fold down sink! Looking at all the builds on this site, so many ways to go about doing my water setup. I need to get going on my trailer again...

(above) The faucet is a simple PVC ball valve...The water flow is a hard smooth 3/8" diameter stream...Not wimpy...
how does the water not splash everywhere?
and don't those cabinet handles grab everything that goes by?

I think I need a bigger truck!
13 gallon water tank mounted in the tub of my CDN M101.
Custom straps, bolted through the floor, lots of RTV to prevent rust/water penetration.
Custom aluminum bracket, marine water fill and vent line, ShurFlo self priming pump mounted in there too.
Water outlet for Eccotemp L7 on a custom bracket.
HW heater mounts to the adjustable arm, and it all works awesome. I just realized I do not have any pics of it all put together? I am super happy with this setup, but may add a cold water tap to bypass the Eccotemp for drinking water or for filling the kettle. Also mounted the Propane tank right there too to keep the lines all close and in one spot.

This is exactly what I want to do. Thanks for posting the detailed photos.

No worries...hope they help! I wanted to put the tank under the tub, and while it would fit...it was NOT going to be easy. I would have also had to put a nice big tank skid under there too, and that would add complexity, weight etc. This works well, is small enough that it doesn't take up a TON of space and is protected and secure. The whole system works fantastic!

Another great set-up!
Now for something completely different... Still a work in progress
So I did decided to put the tank underneath. With the Timbren suspension this cleared the space out so I measured and a 16 gallon tank would fit. Welded up some brackets to hold it in place.
Front view
Rear view. The box will hold the pump and strainer and protect it from rocks and gravel kicking up and hopefully keep some of the mud and dirt out.
The pump and strainer. The connections will go on the flat panel of the rear fender in front of where the hoses are coiled.
Skid plate in place and pump box sealed
Back on the tires again and still a good amount of ground clearance.
Will update when I get the fill, vent and output connectors done.

That is so funny... your under tub setup with the box for the pump, the straps and the skid is EXACTLY what I drew up for mine! Great minds think alike... nice job.
I haven't filled it and taken it for a test ride yet, I need to get the connections done. I am thinking (and yes, hoping) not as the tank is right between the wheels. It caused a bit of an oh snap moment when the GF and I tipped back onto the tires as it had more "swing" weight but it rolls around with no more discernible tongue or tail weight than before. I'll update when filled it there are any new problems introduced.
