    Nothing magical about RV faucets. Go to Home Depot or Lowes. You "might" have to do the sharkbite thing like bear II said, but not always. Many have the standard fittings. You'll know when you pull it off.
  • Some of the RV sink faucet connections are not the standard residential connections so you may need to adapt or cutoff and add new connections to the sink feeds.

    I cutoff and used SharkBite fittngs from Home Depot to add a residential faucet to our RV.
  • We used a sink and faucet from IKEA. They are sized smaller and fit great in the trailer. We changed from a double sink to a single with drain board attached. Also, the strainer is now a full size instead of the smaller RV style.

  • BUT I did change out the cheap RV faucet to a residential faucet.

    We did the same thing. However, I was able to find an upgraded and larger (taller) kitchen faucet fixture at the local RV stealership cheaper than the box stores. Go figure :h
  • Measure current sink size, clearance below sink.......and counter top.

    Then Lowes/Home Depot etc. to see if you can find a sink that will fit.

    Good Luck! I didn't find a sink that would fit.

    BUT I did change out the cheap RV faucet to a residential faucet.
  • Could you not replace it with a regular house fixture? Just be sure to measure around the sink so there is enough spacing.
