I'm looking at them, there's also 'Lavanda' (I think that's right) which appears to be a direct, but cheaper, copy of Smev/Dometic.

The sink itself is OK, same as Dometic and Smev. The hinges are the let down, they rust after a very short time. I replaced them both once at £80 a pair, Dometic spare part prices are a joke, they also rusted.
I eventually coated them in black satin plastidip, now they are bulletproof. I had to make new seals around the hinge as they are thicker with the plastidip coating.
The tap spout will eventually degrade after many years of heavy use.
Don’t put hot items on the glass as it will shatter.
There’s a special tool to remove the lid retaining screws, I just replaced the screws with generic nylon screws and nuts with domed covers.
The 4x cups that sit under the holding down screws are mega expensive, I didn’t find any substitutes so I painted them as the plating is crap. They are hidden under rubber grommets.
There may be better sinks but I doubt it, the mobile home market doesn’t seem to demand high quality.

Is that the CAN or the Lavanda? Lavanda I assume.

Dometic, all the same just a different sticker.

Oh right, I've had a Smev/Dometic 9222 for about 10 years, no issues with rusting hinges or anything ...

How much do you use the sink?

Not that often I suppose, maybe 6 or 7 weekends a year.

Ah, I spend about 41/2 - 5 months per year and cook everyday.
