2018 Jayco SLX 145RB faucet issue

The spout on my "kitchen' faucet is leaking. I tried tightening the sleeve, but it's still leaking. Before I pull it apart, is it worth trying to find/fix the failed part
or just replace? The whole unit feels flimsy to begin with. If I replace, what brand(s) do you suggest?
Thanks

Take the old one out and go to your favorite retailer (Ace, Lowes, Menards, etc.) and find one that will have a similar footprint but with a real brand name you can trust. You will probably never have a problem again. You may need supply tubes and a conversion to the inside piping.

yeah I agree. I think trying to repair the stock unit isn't worth, plus I'd rather have something more stable..

Thinking about ditching my kitchen faucet too, just dreading trying to squeeze under there to work on it. Especially if a lot of “conversion” has to be done with the pex lines and fittings. Pictures or advice on the easiest replacement faucet to purchase would be much appreciated. From anyone.

I replaced a bath sink faucet and it was very easy. The old Jayco faucet and the new faucet had identical connectors. There is no way to know for sure what kind of connectors another RV faucet has, so you have to look if you want to know before buying a new one. Regardless of what kind your faucets have, there is likely an easy way to use adapters (if necessary) to connect a new faucet.

The main questions are: what kind of faucet do you want? What is the measurement between the sink holes - center to center - (probably 4" or 8")? Does the install require three holes (hot, cold, sprayer) or just two (hot and cold?
