Other than replacing the entire sink your could patch the burn with marine tex, sand it smooth and paint the whole sink.

My Ridgeline has a tow package which includes a larger alternator. Would this provide enough boost to charge the Casita house battery while driving?

I repaired 3 shades in my former class A. You can buy repair kits at Campers World or online. It’s new string and other bits you’ll need. The video makes easy work of it.

4200

4200 is half the strength of 5200 and allows you to remove what you're trying to seal. Personally I would stick with just butyl. I like the beeswax fix too. Very clever.

My first thought would be to find a nearby scamp owner and ask to inspect it. Track the wires, take pictures and take notes. That would be a good start.
