How Much Would You Pay For A Camping Sink?

Filed under: Camping — Laura Moncur @ 10:00 am

Ever since the leak started in our Reliance Camping Sink in our teardrop trailer, I’ve been obsessed with looking at camping sinks again. After depleting Google images looking for a camping sink, I decided to give Pintrest a try. Brian Olsen on Pintrest found this camping sink.

The $575 Camping Sink

It’s the Classic Melville & Moon Safari Sink from Kanz Outdoors and it costs…

Wait for it…

FIVE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-FIVE DOLLARS!!!

Seriously, If I followed the instructions from this YouTube video and paired it with a bit of sewing and wood, I could make this sink myself for less than $35.

I am continually shocked when companies charge as much as they do for some things. Kanz Outdoors also has a chuck box for $725.

The $725 Field Pantry

It takes more woodworking skills, but buying all the tools and learning how to use them is definitely less money than $725. Here’s a video that gives you an idea of how to make one:

The next time you think that camping gear is too expensive, try looking online to see if you can create one of your own for less money. You might just be shocked at how much you can do.
