Ah I see what you mean, it seems like it may not be too straightforward, but not beyond doing. I'm sure that if we do remove it, it will not be too difficult to make good after. I just need to be sure that removing the basin, will indeed give me a few more inches of leg room, so mock ups and tape measure will be well used before we start! Thank you for the really helpful information.

Thank you all for such helpful information, I'll let you know what happens!!

Here's the update, have had a look at the toilet and removing the sink and cupboard, but leaving the toilet bench itself, is a very viable option. By removing the wash basin and cupboard, you are achieving 29 inches width to the room, making it a usable space. I realise that from a hygiene point of view the sink was preferable, but hand sanitation will be installed and you can wash them in the kitchen sink anyway?! Problem solved! Now, just need the time to do it!! THank you all for your help, I will post pictures of before, during and after!

Not sure if this is of interest, but we have removed the Washbasin and cupboard and what a success, it's a 95 Famillia and it appears that in 95 they did, infact, line the bathroom completely with the 'formica' type of waterproofing. It took hubby under an hour to remove, but he does now have to T off the water pipe, roll back the waste pipe and put in some trunking for an electrical cable that we also have in there for a battery feed. This is what it looks like (trying to upload photo, bear with me, my navigation on here is pants..lol): ......OK, scratch that, I don't understand German.

Hi there, I'm sorry, I must be really thick lol., I simply don't seem to be reading my page as the really helpful description. Do we all see it in Dutch/German. My page doesn't seem to bear any resemblance to the example...or is that intentional?? I'm sure it's me...

Hoping that I have followed instructions from comment below accurately!!

That was brilliant, thank you so much, I'm afraid I'm rather a technophobe...three photo's uploaded.. Still as yet, have the making good to do, in the toilet.
