Next best would be to do what I did, which is to build your own drain from hardware store pvc, making sure to run it to and down the bulkhead, then back to the center under the cabinet floor (in case you haven't discovered that, the floor is removable). In either case, fasten the drain to the bulkhead with a clamp and screws. I would not recommend doing what the previous owner of my camper did, which was to use rubber hose. It is too stiff to make the straight runs and 90 degree turns needed, resulting in pressure on the trap that tends to displace it from its friction fit on the sink, causing it to leak. -- David McNeely
