Want to replace faucet at kitchen sink

Are the faucets in an rv the same as residential units? The faucet in my class c leaks and I'd like to replace it. Thanks.
  • Word of caution if you do this on the bathroom sink. If the sink does not have an overflow (mine did not), don't use the drain tailpipe that comes with the fixture. It has a hole that would normally be covered up by the overflow space in the casting that's open if the casting isn't there.

    Another thing learned the hard way.

    hehe. The cost of eating on real dishes.


    Small price to pay for great meals!!
    DW got her big kitchen with 6'+ of counter space so she can easily cook, the least I can do is wash the dishes.

    Well first it is the faucet then next is the sink!

    Two years ago replaced the faucet.



    Then this last winter replaced the cheap plastic sink, real Stainless Steel.

  • I picked up one at Ace and it was just fine. Just measure your centers to make sure it matches.
  • We replaced ours with a Delta residential faucet last year. Just make sure the new one will fit the holes where you removed the existing one. Also, if you want to go with a pull out residential faucet make sure there is adequate room und the counter and sink to hold the hose for the faucet. THe hot water tank, water supply lines and drain pipes under our sink did not leae enough room for a faucet with a pull out hose.
  • If you spend much time doing dishes, that faucet is very nice. Tall, and swings, and sprays.
  • Chances are it's similar. Take the old one to the home center and have the help compare, and if necessary, locate adapters that will work.
  • You can choose any resi unit as long as it fits. We've all done that!
