anyone heard of new mexico sink systems? Sat, 07/2/11 9:08 PM (permalink)
Found this website while trying to put together parts for my ice cream truck plumbing.  Does anyone know anything about this company?  The seem to offer a handy package.  But is it a good deal?

      I "googled" the company.
      www.nmsinksystems.com/

      The DWS-1 triple sinks ($250 + $27.50 ship) are simply three 1/3 pans that are 6" deep. You can do that yourself. Just buy some used 1/3 steam table pans and drill a vanity sink drain in the bottom. That is what we did except we used 1/2 pans (see the "LARGE" sink, DWS-2 $300 + $32.50 ship)) because we bought them cheap and had no other use for them. Our hand wash sink is a 1/3 pan.  I want to replace the 4" deep pans with 6" deep. When we do that we will use standard kitchen sink drains (for the strainer baskets). We used a cheap ktichen faucet (actually two) that we picked up in a "bargain basement" home improvement store for about $5 each.., We have about $60 invested in our triple bowl sink AND our hand wash sink... That includes the two faucets (one has a sprayer) and the plumbing under the sinks.
       
      Here's OUR sinks
       
       
      I clicked on their water pump. It's a Shurflo 2088 Classic 2.8gpm (and yes, I am that familiar with that particular model that I do recognize a Shurflo 2088 Classic when I see one) Why pay $125 + $15.50 ship when you can buy the same thing from Amazon for $66.98 and free shipping?

       I looked at their RV water heaters (the Suburbans LP). Do your homework. You shouldn't be paying that much for a straight LP water heater even from Camping World.

      Get a straight LP water heater. I have the AC/LP type (Atwood) in the RV that we live in fulltime. It's great because we have our electric included in our site rental. So we operate it on the electric rather than the LP. We also have 30 amp service. I don't think you will have that luxury in your cart so don't bother paying extra for something you won't use. We just ordered the Eccotemp L5 tankless water heater for the cart ($115 + free ship).

        I purchased something similar off E-Bay for about $125.00, 3 sinks with one hand wash sink. Also 2 faucets were included. Do what Lorna reccomends, a lot cheaper.  BTW, New Mexico is famous for its Hatch Chili, not wash sinks!

          The phone number leads to an individual who is listed in the Southwest Better Business Bureau's "Unanswered Complaint" file. There doesn't seem to be a physical location for New Mexico Sink Systems.
