- Today we replace our RV kitchen sink faucet with a residential faucet. We show you how to make this happen, as the pieces won't fit together without modification. This is a pretty simple DIY RV renovation that makes the area look amazing with just a small upgrade.

As always, we thank you so much for your support as we are on this journey to explore the country, one state at a time. We are a fulltime family of 3 (and 2 dogs), living in a 29 foot travel trailer that we remodeled ourselves on a budget. If you haven't already, check us out on Facebook and Instagram too!
Thank you so much for this video, saved me such a headache. Our cheap plastic one finally broke after full timing for two years and I had purchased a new faucet online and loved it, little did I know after pulling out the old one, we ran into the exact same issue your video covers and made it so much easier for us to keep the faucet and not give up and buy another cheap crappy rv one. Thank you agian.
I'm so glad to hear it helped you and you were able to make it work!! We try our best to help other RVers not have to go through some of the struggles we have lol. We are right over 2 years of fulltime too! Thanks for watching!
Glad I saw this before I even tried, I have one like that I wanted to put in my camper.😂
@@xXyrozex it'll work perfectly! Just grab the part and it'll make life so much easier haha! Good luck!
Ty!!! After 2 trips to Home Depot looking and buying the incorrect part I had the genius idea to check UA-cam and found your video lol.
Just wish it wasn’t $16!
So glad you found our video and that we were able to help!!
Just the video I need awesome job🎉
So glad it was helpful!
Just a word of advice. No tape is required for the threads on either connection as the seal is made with the rubber o ring. They actually advise not to use the tape as it lubricates the threads and can make it easier to over tighten and damage the rubber seal or break the plastic fittings.
Very helpful, thank you !
You're so welcome! Happy to help!
Wondered what that part was to connect the hoses!!!!
Does this work on a 2 hole?
It does! The fittings are all the same regardless. Ours was a 2 hole before we replaced it.
Didn't know what part number I needed, started skimming videos and saw you had it. Thank you very much!
You're so welcome!! Glad we could help!
This is a great 'how to" video. Really clear and helpful DIY instructions 👍👍
The renovations are looking fantastic! Really cool and trendy! Great job guys!
Thanks so much!! We continue reno tomorrow! Ready to be done and starting on a new home!
Thank you!!!!!!
Thank you sir
Just flex tape it all together man
I don't know if I trust flex tape that much, but it's a good idea! 👌
I know I'm joking 🤣
Thank you! Thank you! We only went to Home Depot ONE TIME to buy the adapters you suggested. It usually takes three trips to get any plumbing done! So cool! Hope y'all are doing great!
You're so welcome!! We know that feeling, so that's why we did this video for others!
Seriously thank you for that part number, I've been battling my damn faucet and leaky cold water line for going on 5 days now.
You're so welcome!! Glad we could be of some help!!!
Looks amazing, I might need to look back on this when I change ours out.
Thanks!! We try to remember to stop and record as we do renovations so we can help others!
@@NomadicTrio please do our camper is newer but i love doing my own work.
2 yrs after this video I thank you so much for setting me straight with what I needed to make this happen in my own RV. Went straight to H.D and found the brass fittings and with thread tape (white film for leak proof) and hand tighten only since Pex fitting is plastic I didn't use any wrenches to join. No leaks. Thanks again !
Woohoo! So glad this was helpful!!! You're so welcome!
Wow! It looks amazing! Great job guys! Chasing RV Sunshine 🌞Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

Very very clear instructions - thanks so much for your help!!!
So glad we could be of some help! We know we appreciate easy directions and we try to do the same for others!
Very cool. This opens up the replacement faucets bug time since you don’t have to settle for an RV specific replacement. Cool video guys.
Exactly! Much cheaper and many more awesome choices!! Thanks for watching!
I thanked you before but thanks again for showing the exact package!!!
We knew how helpful it would be!! Keeps from having to run around trying different ones!
The new faucet looks great with the countertops. UA-cam is such a great and helpful platform with even more helpful creators!
Thanks for watching y'all! Yes! We learn so much from UA-cam and in turn try to help others too!
Appreciate this vid! Exactly what I needed!
Exactly why we make them! So glad to hear it helped!!
I just bought that exact faucet for my camper thank y’all for this!!!
You're so welcome! Good luck installing! Let us know if you have any questions.
I love your renovation here. Thanks for sharing how to modify this too cool!! You guys are making me want to change our faucets they have seen better days! Lol..I really like how you have redone your kitchen here. The colors are pretty together. Great job and how to video. Thanks for showing how this is done.😁❤👍
Thank you!! Every little reno we do makes it look even more awesome inside and it's so exciting!! The faucet was pretty cheap on Amazon!
Stay safe! count me in~ Watching from Taiwan!
Thank you! So glad you found us!!
I have a similar faucet! 😀 Great stuff, I’m glad you were able to find an adaptor for it! (Not like I know anything about installing kitchen faucets 😂). It looks great! 😀
Lol thanks!! The water lines and attachments are a lot different in RVs, so you have to find a way to connect it like it's in a house :-)
@@NomadicTrio It sounds like a bit of a challenge! It‘s a good thing your husband knows what he’s doing!! :) That should be a very helpful video for other folks out there with an RV! :)
It is just looking SO good!!!! I can’t believe the transformation of when you first started this work.
Thank you!!! We still have a couple things we want to do before putting it up for sale, but we love the transformation too and have loved living in it so much!!
@@NomadicTrio I was wondering why you were putting so much work in but also had videos of new RVs. Those new RVs, especially he one I think I saw with a fake fireplace were amazing!!!
SO FANTASTIC! Thank you. This is what I'm needing to get. I'm doing a redo of an RV I bought as it's going great. Lost my husband in Feb. I'm doing this on my own. 68 years old this month. Yikes. Can't wait for my kitchen to come together. it's almost there.
Aww good for you!!! I wish you all the best! If you need any other help, feel free to let you know! You've got this! 💙 What type of RV?
@@NomadicTrio Thank you for your response. It's a Class C 28". Even with a full bathtub! My husband and I had decided to sell our property and everything else and get an RV and live on the road. Making our lives easier. He passed before we got the RV. I decided that I can't take care of this property and everything on my own. So I'll live out our dream. I've been the charter bus and school bus driver so driving larger rigs is not an issue for me. Found a GEM of an RV on craigslist. It's a 2000 Thor/Chateau that looks like it's never been used. 32k miles on it is all. Engine is pristine. Looks brand new. New tires E450 V10. Only $16k! I've repainted entire inside ... white (like so many do). Took the dinette out and replacing with a 6ft long butcher block table. Need room for my ham radios. Took out upper cupboards in kitchen for more head space and to open it up. Am doing open shelving. Took over/range out cause I want to cut down the use of the propane (less having to fill it back up). Will use plug in burner. Took out the fan and that big box over the range and cut it down to ONLY leave the front control piece that has my switches showing levels in the tanks. That will go under an open shelf. Rebuilt the front face where oven was to be a cupboard for small appliances. The doors for that were from the above cabinets. They fit perfectly in this spot. Surprised I am able to do all this on my own. Now I have to tackle the new sink plumbing. I think I can do it. I have God on my side and things have been going well for me working through all of this. Took toilet out to cut down on having to dump tank. Will use compost toilet instead. It's me and my 6 cats. Yikes! (Sorry I spilled so much here but this is an exciting project for me and it keeps my mind busy so I'm not just sitting and bawling my eyes out, which I would be doing). I miss him so much. My best friend. God Bless you guys!! Oh ya... and flooring is next. I have 5 cases of the vinyl floor planks and the cutter for them. I also took out microwave and won't be putting that back in. Figured I'm on vacation the rest of my life. Why be in a hurry to cook something? Also heard they use a lot of power to use them.
@@kathyweber793 we loved reading about your journey and all you've done already! You've been busy!!! If you made it this far, the rest will be a piece of cake! Making it feel like home was my favorite part! We renovated/remodeled/fixed our first trailer almost from the ground up.. and learned a lot along the way! It isn't easy, but so worth it in the end! We are also fulltime and on our second trailer. Your husband would be so proud of you for continuing y'alls dream and working so hard to get there! When do you plan to hit the road? Maybe we will cross paths!
Genius!!!!!! Yessssss
It really is the small things that make such a difference in an RV! Glad y'all liked and happy you found us!
LOL we won’t tell. It does look real!
🤣🤣 $5 marble countertop!
@@NomadicTrio impressive!!!! It looks good!
