29RL replacement sink

Did a little project to replace the OEM countertop and tiny stainless (kinda) sink and faucet. Main drivers were to get a countertop that is waterproof instead of the paper covered particle board and a usable sink.

Parts list:
1) Replacement uncut epoxy countertop from Alliance. They have a gray that looks pretty good, IMO better than the black one. $147+tax/shipping
2) White vessel sink $48 (not available anymore on Amazon but anything should work fine)
3) Faucet (link)
5) Misc: PVC Extension Tube (link), White caulk, 1 5/8" hole saw for the drain, had a 1 1/4" hole saw for the faucet

When removing the countertop there are two screws on each side of the front that come out. Other than that it's nailed to some supports which are attached to the walls, so remove those supports (2 screws on each) and the countertop will easily come out. Cut the caulk before removing just to be sure nothing rips, but it comes out pretty easily. To mount the replacement pry off the support pieces from the old countertop and reattach them to the walls. Put some adhesive caulk down on them (probably not necessary) and the new countertop goes down on top of it.

I did go ahead and flip the cabinet door to open from the left. Technically the faucet swivels out of the way and would allow it to open on the right side, but this way it can be partially opened without touching anything and if I need it fully open then move the faucet out of the way. Save the connecting hoses from the old faucet, they are unique to RV's and difficult to find replacements for.

Hardest part of the whole thing was caulking that bowl, what a pain. o_O
