The P-trap is a pretty standard RV part.  You can usually buy a "kit" from
an RV shop that has the trap, drain cup & strainer, and a hose for about
$20.  Everything but the trap and hose are usually junk, though.  My p-trap
developed a crack, and in order to remove it, I had to take a hack saw to
the inside "throat" of the drain, creating a "split" so that I could crush
the whole assembly and remove it from the sink.

The problem is that I have not been able to find a replacement drain that
will fit flush with the bottom of the sink - they all sit up too high, and
won't drain completely.   Royal PITA.   My advice is to *try* and replace
the P-trap without destroying the drain fitting which attaches from the top
side.

Cheers,

Brent Christensen
