Kitchen Sink Faucet

When doing dishes, I find that the standard faucet is too low, making it hard to get large pots and pans, or even standard dishes, under the spout.  I then learned from a fellow Rexhall owner that he had replaced his faucet with a taller one. 

The standard faucet has a spout which is 4 inches above the counter top.  I chose a new one that is 10 inches tall.  I thought I needed a single lever “mix” on and off control, but as I thought about it more, I realized that I virtually never use the mix control, I use either hot or cold.  But replacement faucets come with either type of control.  Do make sure that your hot and cold entry ports on the one you buy are 8 inches apart.  Look under the sink.  A sink wrench is almost essential.  Again, if you are uncomfortable, ask your local RV technician to do it for you.  The only thing I would do differently is to look harder for a model that had a longer neck out toward me. 

We are very happy with the results.  You can order a different faucet from the factory if you are having your coach custom built.  Or you can replace it yourself.
