I’m looking to upgrade the kitchen sink goose neck faucet in my 2022 190. Any good recommendations? Should I purchase RV specific or will one from HD work?

Thanks in advance.

Can you post a picture of the faucet? You could look for one at HD or Lowe's. If you go that route, you will need to adapt the standard kitchen faucet fittings to the fittings used in the RPod. It is not difficult. I did that with ours.

Sure, what’s the easiest way to upload a pic here?

As far as adapting the fittings, is there a kit or is that something you just pieced together?

Thank you

It involves going to your local hardware store and picking up two double male brass adapters. One side fits the standard household 1/2" faucet fitting. The other fits the 3/4" connection used to connect the PEX tubing to your current faucet. Double-check the sizes though. Since both faucet connection and PEX fitting have gaskets, you don't even need to get those separately. I guess you could get plastic fittings if you can find them. I couldn't so I got the brass ones.

You probably already found a new faucet, but just in case I posted about installing a new Moen faucet I picked up at the hardware store - didn't need any additional hardware or adaptors to connect to the PEX fittings surprisingly. Pulled the sink out so I could see what I was doing though. Posted Topic: Replacing kitchen faucet

Actually haven’t purchased one yet. Would you mind sharing a link to what you went with?
