Faucet replacement
I'm looking for a replacement faucet for the one in this picture (I know it's not the best picture). I looked online at Camping World and JC Whitney with no success. Any ideas?

It looks like it might be one of these - squinting
But I can't tell if you have the hand pump or the switch?
Singleton's RV Salvage & Sales, Inc.
I have seen the hand pump one at a local rv center. If that's the one, let me know what's the best price you can find.
Regards,
Matt

I checked West Marine but I didn't find anything similar.

It's a cross between the two. It doesn't have the pump or a switch. Just a handle and a spout. It's set up for city water only.

Well that didn't work out. When the package arrived, no faucet. I called and they told me it is no longer available.
I did find another supplier who did have it. Their web site is: Tweetys.com - RV Parts & Accessories - 5th Wheel Hitches, RV Parts and Accessories
I can't vouch for their service yet, but it's another resource possibility for the rest of you.
Thanks to those who replied.

I do remember some contractor who plumbed up a toilet to the hot water line and every time it flushed there was a piping hot bowl.

I replaced mine with a water dispenser looking like that:
Paid 15.00 for it a local plumbing store.

I was looking at one of those but I didn't want to have to fill the extra holes I would have had. I would have like to have a taller like that one.

You know, filling a hole may not be as "complicated" as one may think...
If I'm not mistaken, I believe you can find plugs or caps specifically designed to cover pre-cut holes used for hand spouts or those "in-sink" soap dispensers.
I'm always trying to solve problems by "re-purposing" off-the-shelf hardware or plumbing and electrical components. Ask your friendly, neighborhood Ace hardware person for his/her ideas...
Or, if you're not worried about your sink looking "unsophisticated" I bet you could use an appropriately-sized automotive expandable rubber freeze plug.
Or, you could find a free "Formica" color sample chip, cut it to size and epoxy the patch over your hole...

I really would of only had two screw holes but since I could find a direct replacement, I bought it.
I did buy some fiberglass cloth today so I could play with it.

Matt do you know who made this or if it still available at your local rv center. (Make/ model?)
Mine needs replacing.

Sorry, I don't ,and I don't get out that way very often any longer since I changed jobs. However, it is the "RV and trailer supply" in Redwood City, California. Hope that helps,
Matt.

When I have to replace a faucet I go to Home Depot and buy what ever Kitchen faucet is on sale and plumb one side for city water and the other for the on board water tank.
I just replaced the city water faucet in my Lil Big Foot with a Kitchen Faucet that was $35.00 at Home Depot.
I left the manual pump in case of a dead battery.
