i was thinking of adding a utility sink to the set up this year. anyone use one, and, what are your oppinions?
 
We use one of the plastic laundry sinks with one of those big plastic tubs (maybe 10 gallon?) to catch the greywater. It's hooked up to an instant hot propane heater (similar to this: [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Eccotemp-L5-Portable-Tankless-Outdoor/dp/B000TXOJQ4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1405943862&sr=8-1&keywords=instant+hot+propane+water+heater"]Eccotemp L5 Portable Tankless Water Heater and Outdoor Shower - Portable Hot Water Heater - Amazon.com@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41R1W3pxu4L.@@AMEPARAM@@41R1W3pxu4L[/ame]), and it works like a champ.
 
Ive made a mobile sink with a laundry tub, use a 5gal beverage cooler for a hot water tank, pumped through a marine foot pump, tubing goes up some pvc to a hose faucet. I attached a touch free soap dispenser, and a pvc bar for paper towels. It sits on a 2x4 on the back legs and a 2x8 on the front to hold it steady and for the pump. It works awesome! No need for electricity or water connections, just use a propane burner to heat up the water and stays hot for hours, and a 5gal bucket to catch the gray water.
 
Here's the sink we built for comps.

It's not the most cost effective sink to build, but it works really well for us. It uses a small lawn mower battery for power, and has the on-board hot water heater for hot water on demand. And the Health Dept. loves the sink. Never had a problem when they come by for inspections at the comp.
 
Wow, this is great. I use a washtub and an induction burner to heat up the water. I wish I had a setup like this to get stuff done. I mostly rent a u-haul trailer because I don't even have a trailer to use...
