faucet replacement

[jenharrity]

When I bought my Coleman 2003 Utah, the previous owners had installed a faucet that you had to unscrew to put the galley down when packing down the camper.  So, setting up the camper again...after screwing the faucet back into place, it leaks..I have tried new orings, but the thing still leaks everywhere so that we cannot use our sink at all.  I noticed earlier about a pullout faucet.  Is this the way to go? Does the whole thing actually come out?  I am not sure what came in this camper originally, but I just want it fixed.........what to do?

The faucet is installed on 4" centers. You can go to HD or Lowe's and buy a bar/bath faucet that is on 4" centers and you then can do a simple swap out. If you take a look at my mods page below, you will see how I updated our faucet on our PU, no leaks and works a lot better than the original faucet. Maybe the same one will work for you.

Good luck

Do you have to take the faucet off when shutting down the camper?

I replaced my stock faucet with this one and I love it.

I installed a "laundry" faucet in my camper last fall.  I do not have to take it apart or off when I close down the camper.  I didn't measure the space between the sink and the bottom of the bunk when the bed is pushed in.  I would like to have purchased a bar faucet, but was afraid I wouldn't have enough clearance, so I went with the laundry faucet which was the same size as the original faucet in my camper.  Also I found that taking the sink out of the galley was the easiest way to replace the faucet.  Just re-putty the sink when you reinstall it.
