Old Faithful...my sink faucet

So, our water pump was on, and in the middle of the night the cold water knob on the sink in the front sleeper shot to the ceiling and water was shooting out of it!
So, I turned the water pump off which stopped the geyser going on, and in the morning attempted to repair it. I believe I found all of the pieces, however, once I put it back together, ( I used the hot water side as a demo ) it still does not totally secure the cold water when the pump is on. Since we do leave our pump on I don't want to have to use the pump switch to secure the water.
So my question is this. I don't see a model number or anything on the faucet to find a replacement. Any suggestions?
Or, can the "guts" just be replaced rather than the entire faucet?

Anyone been down this road?

    My model number was stamped under the plastic base, had to remove to see info. After removing faucet and seeing how cheap RV faucets were I picked up new faucet. Only mistake I made was not matching up length of threaded pipe and had to go back and buy longer feeder lines. But now have one with higher arc and water is now directed into center of sink and with arc coffer pot is a breeze to fill in morning.

    P.S. our water pump is now turned off when we leave RV and at night.

    Ace hardware should have a good selection, or one of the local plumbing supply stores will have one. Pick what you like.

    good to know. Now, if there where only a Home Depot or Lowe's within 90 miles of me.....

    I will hit up the mom & pop hardware store and see what is available.

    Thanks! I am glad to hear there aren't special fittings under there, and that they are household compatible.

    Nothing special about RV faucets except they are usually cheap and of poor quality.

    Go over to Home Depot - Lowe's and pick up a new faucet that fits your fancy and fits the space you have around your sink.

    I have (many of us have) replaced the faucets in our kitchen and bathrooms in our rigs with quality 'stick and brick' units.
