Many different stem designs, really hard to tell over the Internet.

Found a video of one style..

HERE

Some may have a plastic or metal clip that needs removed, some may require a specific wrench to unscrew the stem.

Once you get the stem out, the chances of you finding a new replacement cartridge is pretty darn low and then what will you do?

These are not like the old fashioned faucets from the 1900s-1960's where there was a rubber piece you replaced.. It will most likely be a cartridge.

However, by the time you get done messing around removing finding parts and then reassembling, you could have replaced the faucet not once but several times.

Removing the RV old faucet is very easy, they tend to be all plastic body, if need be, break the nuts holding the faucet in place and pull out.

Any tab on the rest of the faucet?

A picture might get you some guidance.

Look for a removable tab on the handle that will reveal a set screw. Parts may/may not be available for a 23 year old faucet of some brand...

Plus at 23 years corrosion can be a big factor so consider replacement.

Yup the only difference between a Kitchen Sink in a house and in an RV is the one in the rv is often not as high quality.

Connections, hole spacing and such. all standard.
ONLY difference I have found is the Delta-look-alike (knockoff) in my Motor home the hot and cold pigtails (Single handle's have pigtails) were same length and on teh Price Fister they were not so I had to do a bit of plumbing.

On a 2 handle they should both be the same. .

Replace the RV faucet with any nice quality brand replacement you can find at Home Depot or Lowes. You will thank yourself after doing so.

Faucet mounting holes tend to be universal but you can remove your old one and measure before buying.

You can replace with another two handle or a more modern single handle and even add a sprayer!

Depending on the water terminations you may need to adapt things, sharkbite fittings work well with PEX lines in your RV. I also would recommend using flexible braided water line hoses if you do need to modify the water lines which makes it easy to work on in the future.
