Default Single handle kitchen faucet install help.

I would like to replace my original dual handle kitchen faucet with a single handle one. I ran into two potential problems.

First, I took some measurements then went to Home Depot. All the faucets seemed too tall. It looked like I have less than 6 inches of faucet height to be certain it wont be too high to close the trailer down. I was guessing that it needed to be no higher than the little “wall” to the left of the sink. Does anyone know how tall the faucet can actually be and still not be a problem when folding down the TM?

Second, the water supply lines, one hot and one cold, to the existing faucet come up through the outside holes spaced 8 inches apart. The single lever faucets I looked at have both the hot and cold supply lines coming up through the center hole in the sink. If this were my home plumbing I would crawl under the sink and change the plumbing as needed to accommodate the change. But with the TM, there is not much room and I am not sure how to go about making the conversion.

I know others have made this conversion. Can anyone give me some pointers?

Thanks for your help.

Jim
