Hi

We have a 99 Crown regent. In the toilet area the sink is the type that you fold down and when you fold back up the water runs out the back and into the waste.

By accident this was flipped up with a soap bar still in the sink therefore losing the bar of soap down into the waste area.

Do you know how to remove the sink to get to the bar of soap?

Cheers

We had a Eldis caravan and after several times fishing down the back with a slotted spoon to get the soap out, we discovered the sink would un slot with a firm wriggle  (if its like the one we had it clips on to fixing point ech side) on to in a semi upright position! Sorry not the best description!

Your description brought a smile to my face because somehow I know exactly what you mean

I will try this tonight

Cheers

Hmmm, not sure about that genital wiggle!

Must admit the 'genital wiggle in a semi-upright position' made me giggle  

Seriously - once you've sorted this out, switch to liquid soap in a bottle - keeps much better in the caravan, leaves no soapy mess everywhere .... and MUCH less likely to be in the water when you tip the basin up!

You can actually take these sinks completely apart.

One of the mirror glass doors in the cabinet above the fold up sink in our Abbey Oxford came off en route and peirced the sink which had tipped down. I (as a prevuos reply said) wiggled the sink part off and then carefully went arond the join between the top part and the bottom part with a narrow bladed scraper.

Once apart I repaired the top bit with araldite and sealant before glueing them both together.

A big job for just a bar of soap but possible.

i have exactly the same type of sink.

there is a snall sticker on the front of ours , saying how to do it,

it says ,prise one side appart carefully with a blunt implement, then ease this side out.

did it myself last year to retrieve a toothbrush.

thanks for all the advice. i removed the sink and got the soap. Trouble is now that I put the sink back it does not look as level. I need to use a little gentle (not genital!) persuasion.
John, we got ours in March this year from Lochgelly. Great set up for us. 2 kids (5 and 2) the double bed at the back is great for our 2 year old and the 5 year old on the bunk.
