Hi Don - as you've read in this thread and likely others on BMW and/or Airstream forums, several people use the X5 as tow vehicles and it's very difficult, if not impossible, to weed through all the...

Well, if I was driving one of BMW's other products, a Rolls Royce for example, I might be able to do that.

I know this is an old post but just wondering how this sink worked out for you. At 20 guage, it's a little thinner than a lot of sinks - any dents or other problems? Would you recommend it?

Interesting. The 13.5” measurement is to the top of the 2” receiver, not the top of the hitch ball. Did yours measure 19” to the top of the receiver? What year/model is your x5? Mine is a 2017 35i.

Can undermount sinks be used in kitchen counter?

I know that undermount sinks can be installed in a laminate counter top but it appears Escape will not do that - is that correct? Has anyone done it on their own?

Appreciate the quick responses! It doesn't look that much different in the floor plan drawings. We would prefer the longer counter as well but we also prefer the full size queen bed.
