Location: MS | I am thinking about replacing the kitchen sink and faucet in the LQ with a copper prep/bar sink and a copper or bronze colored gooseneck faucet. The one that is in there now is a 15 x 15 inch sink with the faucet being attached to a little ledge of the sink. The sink interior is only 10 x 12, if I remember right. The new copper sink won't have that ledge for the faucet to sit on, so I will have to be drilling holes for the faucet. My question is, do I have to replace the old faucet with an RV one? Is there a lot of difference in the hookup, pressure or whatever that would make it where I can't use a regular kitchen faucet? |

Location: TN | Great question because I would love to replace mine with one of the goose-necked kitchen faucets with the pull out sprayer! Does anyone know if it is possible??? |

Location: Vanzant, Missouri | I replaced my sink faucet in my LQ. Got the higher neck type at Lowe's. Just had to measure the distance of the opening. Works well.

Location: North Carolina | Using a regular home faucet in a trailer is doable. Simply buy the adapters to fit. The only problem I can think of is the amount of water the fixtures are designed for. The RV type faucets are designed for a low water flow and pressure. The regular faucets will flow more water filling your tank quicker. And the regular faucet's aerator & sprayer won't work well on the trailer pumping from a tank. If you're connected to a city supply and drain ... no problem |

Location: South Dakota | My husband replaced both sinks in my trailer with hammered copper sinks and also changed out the faucets to match. We went to the hardware store and bought the faucets - pretty much anything works. |

Location: western PA | Most faucets made for house hold bathroom fixtures, have the same hole spacings as the RV types. The quality of a home designed faucet is often superior to the chrome plated plastic variants often found in LQs. The operating water pressure of many LQs, is similar to most of the city supplied water systems, so operationally they are pretty much interchangeable. Because most new home fixtures are designed for a lower water flow, the household type are quite similar to the flow rates of the RV variants. Many LQs fixtures can be upgraded with the installation of readily available house hold products. |
