However, when you speak of not having a decent sink, I worry about sanitation.

This past summer I lived in a cabin with no running water; had to haul water from the other side of the building site, and the cabin had a huge extension cord running from the tree that held the temporary power service. I did my dishwashing with 3 dishpans and nearly-boiling water from the electric tea kettle my DH had insisted we couldn't live without- and he was right!

Cooked on a propane stove, which is almost as good as the real thing, so not much advice there!
