Replacing bathroom vanity/sink

The sink in the bathroom is so small that water splashes up on the counter all the time. I keep a paper towel in there to wipe it up but even though our Cruiser is just a year old the formica is starting to warp. I'm thinking we need to replace the vanity top with a larger sink. Has anyone done this? We have a Cruiser 335ss.

I've looked into it but haven't done it yet. I don't like the small sink either, but there is limited space. I found a couple that will work and it is likely a project I will complete this winter. We have cultured granite countertops so warping isn't an issue.

Here is one I found that I know will fit. It's not cheap, though.

I'm thinking we should replace the whole countertop and sink.

I just replaced the bathroom faucet with a taller single lever one from Lowes. I'm hoping it will help reduce the splash zone.

Biker, let us know how that works out. Our bathroom faucet barely even comes out over the sink, so you have to put your hands right against the back of the bowl to even get any water on them. Then, of course, water gets everywhere. Replacing that faucet is definitely on the TO DO List! Now sure why CR would even use it when a taller one cannot be much more expensive!

If it works out well, please post a link and a pic!

I replaced our taps before we even took our unit out the first time. Put Price Pfister in the bathroom and the kitchen. Still need a bigger sink. I wanted a pop up drain as well.

I agree with the higher arc tap.

Very nice, WWW!! Definitely right up there with the LED upgrades I'd like to do. Neither are crazy costly or time consuming...just waiting until I have spare time or money.

We replaced the sink in our 2013 Cruiser with this sink from RV Upgrades. The actual sink is white, although it doesn't show as white in the picture. Original black faucet set up worked with this sink and the white sink looks fine in the bathroom. Works much better than the original "dog bowl size" sink. Price was right too.

I hate the faucet on our bathroom sink. It is set so far back that I can barely get a wash cloth under it. I've ordered a new faucet with an arc spout. Hopefully, that will be better.

Did you have to cut the hole in the countertop. Bigger for that sink. My husband is concerned about how it will cut

Yes, the counter top had to be cut. I don't know how much of a job it was. We bought and brought the sink to the service center in Topeka and they installed it at the same time they were doing other work for us.

We added a plastic universal swivel spray nozzle to the existing faucet. Works great...water goes in sink. I think we paid about a dollar for it at a flea market.
