One thing that our Pageant S7 had that we found really useful was a washing up bowl in the kitchen sink with a chopping board that sat on top. Not only did it provide a little extra work top space (only caravanners will understand this) but tidied up the kitchen area once dished are squared away.
Our Charisma 635 as standard came with just the bare sink.
Much searching on the internet failed to turn up a solution off the shelf, so the tape measure was brought out before trawling Amazon for some bits to throw together.
Now, the first problem was to get a round washing up bowl. Sounds easy doesn't it? Not on your life. Not many places do round ones these days, let alone one that is of a decent size and shallow enough to sit within the caravan sink. It could have been larger, but this is the best I could find at the maximum depth.
Next was the chopping board. This was a little easier ..... not much mind you. I needed a 40cm board that was thick enough to take a router to, but not too thick as to be overly obtrusive.
I marked it out and passed it onto West Wales' answer to Norm Abram to do his magic for me ....
The only thing left was to stick some plastic feet onto the lip that will sit on the sink top to prevent marking, and Bob's your uncle .......
Pretty neat I think. Hides the dish cloth and the odd unwashed glass, while providing some additional work space. Job Done.

Thats a really good idea. Our Sprite is the same. It took us ages to find a bowl to fit. Love the chopping board too. Cheers Phil
