Well, anyone who has seen our trailer when we're glamping knows that we already have waaaay to much 'stuff', so we don't really need anything more. Having said that, ....what about a $100 gift certificate good for our favorite campground/park??

Dear Santa, please bring me this faucet. I'd like it in stainless steel. I like the fact it has paddle handles so when my hands are gunky I can use the back of my hands or my wrists to turn the water on or off.
If the elves can't make it, it's available here: Needs Plumbing Supply
I've been REAL GOOD, honest

i like Donna D's new faucet replacement.. I have looked at them at Home Depot and debated whether to get one or not... .... I really cant think of any "wishes" to put new in my trailer cuz everything has just about been replaced except for the kitchen sink, toilet, and bathroom sink, and countertops( which will not be replaced)

We found (having to replace a tap set up in our stick trailer) that there is (or was at that time) a difference in fixture fittings between r/v and domestic (in home) taps. I'd imagine that once the piping conversion to the home style fixture is done, almost any style of fixture is possible!!!

Hi: Santa I just know you will bring me a "Hi-Arc" 8" kitchen faucet for our "Escape Hatch"!!! I really need the white one so all I have to do is replace the spout!!! I know you are connected to the web to be able to perform your around the world wonder trip. The faucet is at phoenixfaucets.com if thats any help SANTA!!! Oh and while you are on line SANTA if it's not too much to ask a Valterra Hydro flush fitting at valterra.com would be really great. I too have been a good Camper and will leave the usual goodies for you and Rudy too!!!

Could be you're correct Doug. But the one in my trailer is a plain ole Delta classic sink faucet, and it's going one way or the other. The one I want has 6-1/4" centers, the Delta (I think) is 4" centers. I'm hoping the cover on the new one will cover up the old holes. If not, I'll come up with something creative.... like a piece of tile? I may have to use flexible braided hose too. Trust me, if Santa brings it, I will figure out a way to get it installed so it works and looks good.

I want the fan in the wall above the stove so we can remove the light and fan that is in there now. I saw Carol and Jim have one. It would be nice to not have that stick out so far when you are cooking. I think Chuck had one too but don't have a name for the fan. Hopefully Santa will know what I'm talking about.

Please Santa put an electrical water pump under the tree so that we can have pressurized water.
And if you get the addresses mixed up, you can drop off that high arc faucet too.

A water pump would be nice. I guess I would then have to have a tank also and that would go over 100.00.
And a digital thermometer for measuring cooking temps.

Hi: Christi... I priced the spout only as they are avail. separately but are only $6.00 less than the whole faucet!!! The trailer OTOH is a different dollar. Then again Santa is bringing it likes to save too!!!
My biggest worry is getting stuck in the little cupboard under the sink... thats why I thought I could change only the spout.

I want this:
http://www.amazon.com/Audiovox-VE927-9-Inc...921&sr=1-12
But I'm not quite sure where I'd put it in the Campster. I hate to put a hole in the ceiling to hang a TV. Any ideas? I could probably put a high shelf off the back of the bulkhead (by the fridge) and hang it under the shelf.

Ah, my favorite topic. Digital thermometers. Google CDN thermometers. I have several ( a professional grade oven thermometer, an instant read dial probe, one for deep frying and my favorite, their new dual probe digital. You can use it with the folding probe or with a probe on a cable. It has settings for chicken, beef, pork, etc, and ground beef, ground pork etc. and even ribs. You can adjust for taste. Rare to well done. Or you can program it. It warns you when you're within ten degrees of your target temp.
All CDN instruments are of high quality and made in Oregon, I believe.

I have something similar to that faucet. It was easy to install - in fact there are lots of fittings out there to help covert to different sizes. Mine is set up so that my hot water tap is hooked up the on-demand water pump and on board water supply while my cold water is hooked up to the city water intake. It works great - especially if your in an area where the water tastes bad and you only want to use it for washing!
Here's a piture: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=1381...mp;id=542625903
My wish is for a new door latch - which is currently being fabed up!
