Kitchen sink question
Not sure if all sinks in the Roo line are the same size, but I'm wondering what people do it terms of a dish drainer. The drainer side of the double sink is very small and I am not sure where to find a dish drainer to fit it. I know I can get a drainer/mat that sits on the counter, but would rather not store one more thing if necessary. Its just the two of us, so our dirty dishes won't be much. Any suggestions? thanks.

We bought our 23SS because it had, back in 2006, the most kitchen counter space of all the Roo/Shamrock models.
So we have room for a counter top dish drainer.

Thanks. Counter space isn't so much the issue as I would rather not store a largish drainer when not in use. I may just get a small drainer and cut it down to fit the drainer side. It just need to be large enough to hold a few dishes, cups and silverware.

Quit using dishes, just use the bare table and your fingers.

We are also just the two of us.
We bought the small dish rack drainer at WallyWorld, in their RV section.
Think it's from Camco.

We use the one bikendan mentioned. It doesn't fit in the small bowl of our double bowl sink but does sit on the lip. It's just the 2 of use so we don't have that many dishes. Link:

Thanks. I'll probably get that one and just use it to store small items while not in use.

We use a drain mat (absorbent cloth) on top of the stove cover to hold the dishes until we dry them. Takes up very little room.

Like Bikendan, we use the small Camco dish drainer. Fits fine in the sink or it can be put on the counter and the lip will reach over the edge of the sink to let water drain.

We use an absorbent drying cloth as well and then I can just put it away when dry. I did find a small stainless steel drying rack and pan at IKEA for the house. It is small enough that I am going to get one for the camper.

I think I will cut a piece of that spongy drawer liner from Walmart to line the sink. That should work okay.

My sink is acrylic and the same on both sides. I just have a pad from Walmart and a regular drainer. I put it under the sink when dishes are dry.

We bought the camco mini dish drainer off amazon and it fits perfect in the sink of a roo 23ikss. They do sell the same one at Walmart as others have mentioned

We purchased a wooden dish drainer that folds flat at Lowes. It is easy to stow. We put a dish towel under the drainer.
