I am going to install a new sink. The sink requires cutting more material from the countertop. Has anyone removed a countertop and can comment on how it was attached to the cabinet? Screw and cleats? Nails? Pegs and glue? This information will help me figure out a plan of attack. The countertop is not going to be removed, just an additional cutout. Sink is from Ikea, should end up with one deep large basin and one smaller sized basin, plus a stainless countertop covered area for whatever. The sink basins fit, just need to do a relief cutout for the extended stainless area.
Any interest in photos of this short journey?

Tom,
It could be held on by any number of methods at these coach were build by Coachman. Depends on the day also. I will go out and look at my Avion that I have in the shop and see if I can see how it was done. You will need to check clearance underneath for the drains too.

Old sink out. Standard hold down clips, like Johnny suggested. Faucet out. Sink just uses standard PVC pipe for drains. Plenty of room under sink. Just need the creative cutting of the countertop.
Photos at eleven.

Sink cutout finished. Area of top cut out was not attached. Attachment must be over the uprights of the cabinet base. Project moving nicely. Looks very nice without finishing. Wife approval.
