I have replaced the faucets on 2 different RPods. It is pretty standard fare -go to one of the big box home improvement stores and pick out a faucet that will fit in the space. Width of the base plate is the primary concern. the hot/cold supply lines generally will attach directly to the new faucet set. Access under the sink is pretty open and available. https://postimg.cc/mhms44YP">  plumbing jobs always require at least 2 trips to the store!!

+1 to Pod People. We had to take the sink out to get easy access as the pex was installed all the way to the faucet. I cut it and installed a couple short supply lines to make the installation easier for that change and in the future. Replacing the sink was simple since it was a drop in sink and it needed re-caulking anyway. We got rid of the double handled faucet in favor of a single handle pull out. ------------- Never leave footprints behind.

+2 We also replaced our faucet when one of the handles broke off. Did the same as lostagain opting for a single handle unit from one of the big box stores. Did have to purchase a couple special unions that went from pex to what was coming out of the new faucet. And yes, we also made an additional trip to the hardware store to complete the job. ------------- God's pod '11 model 177 '17 Ford F-150 4WD 3.5 Ecoboost Jim and Diane by beautiful Torch Lake "...and you will know the Truth and the Truth will set you free." |

Hardest part of replacing ours was dealing with Pex. I went through a couple of press-on fittings before giving up and buying a compression ring tool. Well, that was the second hardest, actually. The hardest was reaching up there behind the sink! I finally figured out I could use the table as a platform. It's designed to be part of a bed, after all. |
