That is a clean instal man ! Wonder if you could work around tha slide-out on a 177 and put one in. Do you know the make/model?

With an install right below the sink I don't see why not.  You'll be tapping into water lines that are already there, its not like you need to run new ones that have to function with the slide-out mechanism.  Look under your sink to be sure.
 
Not sure what make/model they installed.  I'll see if I can find one tonight.

BTW, for those considering this, there is an option if you don't want to mount one permanently.  Add quick disconnects to your low point drains (or use the threaded ends already there) and then you can add a temporary faucet in camp.  Downside to this is its something else to set up and take down, which is why I opted for the permanent addition.

Awesome.  Like I said, this is now the 1st place finisher as far a MODS are concerned for the R-Pod, as far as I'm concerned.  Enjoy.

The only indication where my faucet came from is it had http://www.bandbmolder.com on it.  I did a quick check of their web site and saw a link to their water products catalog, but didn't see the faucet.  They list a phone number on the site if you want to call.  Might be best to search online for whatever is cheapest.

Can the showerhead be swapped-out? While I love the idea of an outside shower/water facility, a stock showerhead that dribbles would probably really annoy me :p  How much space is available for showerhead storage?

We swapped our inside showerhead to the Oxygenics one and it has made our trips so much more enjoyable.

OR, you could get either the 181G or 182G model with the tailgate kitchen, which has a nice 15 ft. hose and sprayer you hook up to the rear sink. Viola, instant outside shower!

Ditto! It is a great feature for traveling with the pooches, who tend to find all the mud and crud anywhere within range of the 'Pod. Confused
