Faucet
We have a 2018 ORV 30RLS. The head on the faucet in the kitchen is shot and I can't figure out who built this gem. Any ideas? (it's permanently stuck between normal and spray).
I bought one that appeared the same on Amazon, threads were the same, but the one OEM has a different insertion style.

Take the head off,soak it in a glass of white distilled vinegar overnight. I have to do that occasionally in the sticks and bricks.

Our 2020 did the exact same thing. I soaked it, I disassembled it, we ordered another from Amazon that didn't fit, the dealer ordered one and it didn't fit so they replaced the entire faucet.

Those faucets are cheap china junk. Bathroom units are plastic as well as the shower faucet.
I've replace mine with better stuff from HD.

Replaced both my cheapo faucets in our 25RDS.
Got then at Lowes and Home Depot. Plug n play.
Hated the kitchen faucet. It was way too low to work under.
Bathroom faucet was cheap plastic waiting to break.

It's pretty easy to replace the entire faucet with something from Home Depot or Lowes.

X2 that the factory one was to low and cheap. So as soon as we got the unit home from the dealer we replaced it with a brand name one for about $60.00. Will do the bathroom also, just haven’t got around to it yet. Very easy to do.

Tried the vinegar (didn't help, just removed dark burnishing to a copper color). Looks like it's time to shop-for both!(As if she ever liked either faucet anyway!)
Thanks for the input.

Replaced ours with one from etrailer
https://www.etrailer.com/RV-Faucets/.../PF231561.html
A "true" direct replacement, no hassle with miss-matched fitting etc. Works great.

Did you have to use any adapter fittings to connect to existing water lines or was it a simple.plug n play?

"plug and Play" exact fit, no adapters required. A true "RV" setup.

One challenge I had with any at Lowes or HD was the dangling weight for the spray nozzle. I couldn't find any that allowed the weight to fasten to the hose, instead they slide loose on the hose. That works if there isn't a shelf under the sink. The weight from the old faucet wouldn't fit on the new stuff. I ended up replacing with the same. Sorry I don't have the brand handy but it looked like someone found it. When it arrived, it was black instead of bronze label on box but not a problem for us.

Thanks all!!!
I replaced the POS kitchen faucet with a residential (NOT RV) faucet. It was simple, looks great, and is actually a quality level I can accept.
Bathroom is next....
(BTW- the "dangling weight" on nearly everything I've seen is adjustable with one of those hard to find wrenches- a screwdriver)
