I currently have the ol' "water jug on a shelf and bucket" method for washing hands and brushing teeth, etc. I'm thinking about upgrading to a self-contained sink (I'm tired of bending over and not having a sinktop). Space is very limited. The cheapest I have found that fits my needs is the following one from ebay ($459) -

I have a small solar system and this sink requires some power (probably for the pump), so although I'm still waiting to see what amps the pump draws, I also want to see what DIY suggestions you may have for cost savings and "pride". After all, the pump's amps may be beyond the range of my solar system anyway, forcing me to go the DIY route.
For the DIY route, I was thinking about buying sink and cabinet combo from Home Depot. Zodi http://www.zodi.com/Consumer/zodiaccessories.html makes shower heads, shower poles, and battery operated pumps, and I could buy those items and integrate them into the sink and cabinet combo. One small bucket for fresh water, one small bucket for waste water, and I'd be set. Cost here would probably be $100-$150, depending on how much of a sink and cabinet combo I want to buy.
Post some advice, and pics, if you have them!
