need to replace wash basin faucet in 04 RB February 08, 2014, 06:17:39 pm Yahoo Message Number: 144966The mothership tells me that a leaking wash basin faucet should simply be replaced, rather than repaired. If so, is there a particularly popular/recommended replacement faucet that I should install? Thanks--Ted

What I used is a bar faucet with two knobs, and an arcing spigot that pivots to the side, so it is not in the way when using the basin to wash up. It works great, and also is used to attach our faucet-mount Pur filter when in camp (quick-disconnect).Steve

It wasn't a very difficult job - the hardest part was freeing the old one from its mounting and removing all the old sealant. Here's a picture of the new faucet.WxToad @ Fort Bliss , TX .....still.Posted by: spambox41@... milehioutlaw Date: Sat Feb 8, 2014 9:53 pm ((PST))The mothership tells me that a leaking wash basin faucet should simply be replaced, rather than repaired.

Re: need to replace wash basin faucet in 04 RB Reply #4 – February 09, 2014, 10:11:39 am Yahoo Message Number: 144976Our original bathroom faucet started leaking just after a few years. Removed it, to match the pipe fittings (4" centers), took it to Lowes and found a nice Delta, about $60. http://www.flickr.com/photos/lwade/3419249534/in/set-72157625826674170 Camping Worlds sell several inexpensive models that work http://www.campingworld.com/shopping/item/4-lavatory-teacup-handles/61467 LD glues the faucets to the sinks well, sometimes too well. I use a thin, flexible 1" putty knife, with rounded corners (to prevent gouging), to work under the faucet's base, cutting through the sealant. If you enjoy this, try removing an LD's kitchen sink.Larry
