Anyone still make these?

I've looked everywhere and have not been able to locate one of these weird fixtures; I think it came with the original 2001 build. Both hot and cold leak a bit now and I have never been happy with the fixture, anyway, seems to put a lot of torque on the base built as it is. That aside, has anyone seen these around lately? I tried the SMB sites and other RV sites, nothing like it.

Plan B will be to change out the whole thing, including getting rid of the soap dispenser that we never use; we never use the hot water furnace, either. I am hoping to change things out without cutting any new holes, but we'll see.

Most people are going with single handle faucet. Only takes one hand to set the temp.
And most all of them are a single hole like yours.

Lilnuts2, thanks for that. Can you show me a pic of one, or even where to purchase? I admit I never paid much attention to this fixture before or what SMB has been using lately. Regardless, I don't think I saw any fixtures or parts on their sites, but maybe I missed something.

I replaced with this when I did my interior rebuild. It’s the real deal, solid metal faucet, not plastic.

If you're changing it out I highly recommend getting a faucet that pulls out to facilitate filling of big dish pans or water containers. We use that feature on ours quite a bit and wouldn't replace with anything that didn't..

To the OP you can buy a blank cover if you decide to remove the soap dispenser. Home depot has them.

Thanks Rick. Those are perfect. I'm always on the lookout for decent single hole faucets since I started fooling with vans.

Comes in black too!

I saw those goofy faucets on a boating supply Web site some time ago but not sure which one it was.
