kitchen faucet
Leaking on counter top. Repair or replace and how?
Forum Discussion
Not sure I'm understanding this....is the faucet actually mounted on the surface of the countertop or on the sink itself, which is mounted on the countertop? In any event.....just replace the thing with a decent quality faucet from whatever store you want.
In our '07 ROO we were camping and on a Saturday morning when I turned the faucet on, it literally blew apart...not a fun time, but thankful DH and DF were standing outside when I yelled to turn off the water. The only "box" that was available for miles and miles was a little Mom and Pop hardware store. They had a few to choose from and DH came back with a REALLY nice faucet, installed it and we pressed on with our weekend.
Just a few days after taking delivery of our '13 TT the kitchen faucet started dripping. DH can and does fix most everything, but no amount of tweaking and tightening and adjusting stopped that dripping. We could have turned it in under warranty, but we'd have received the same el-cheapo faucet to replace the leaking one. We just went ahead and bought a new better quality faucet and put it in and we're done with it. RV OEM faucets are not known to be top of the line and IMHO, sooner or later you're going to have to replace it, so if you can do it now, just go ahead.
Re the holes for the faucet...to the best of my knowledge all faucets have a standard measurement for the holes. If there are holes drilled into the countertop, suggest you measure them to be sure, but the plate that fits onto the bottom of the faucet should cover any adjustment you might have to make. Is this a newer TT? Just don't recall noticing any with the holes drilled into the countertop when they're already right there in the sink. Confusion.
