Default Kitchen Faucet Changout

While camping this last week we had an issue with water pressure and so decided to use the fresh water tank instead, only to find out the my pump had gone south and I suspect that after 13 years it was time. So I WILL have to remove the hot water heater to get to that pump and thought that now's the time to take out that cheap plastic Chinese wonder of a kitchen sink faucet that still works ok in favor of a real brass American made one.

My question is: has anyone changed out their faucet with the kind that has a sprayer hose built into the faucet arm? I am looking at one like this....
http://www.amazon.com/Chrome-Metal-F...n+Brass+SL1000.

Please let me know. I know they changed out to a newer style faucet in the newer models that does have a separate sprayer on it....I just like the ones that the arm is the sprayer too.

I know that there is a clearance problem but, does anyone know what that clearance actually is? If you would please let me know it would be appreciated!
TIA
MA

My kitchen faucet doesn't have a sprayer and I have to stow it when I close up the camper. When the back she'll is down, there is only about an inch of space before hitting the roof. I already bent the faucet neck once when I forgot to stow it down. I have a Scandvik folding faucet.

Talking Faucet

I am pretty sure that that faucet will require you to cut a hole in the top of the shell.

Just kidding.

It appears that your choice is really too tall. Measure the height of the one installed in your TM and use that as your guide.

Have fun.

We did it with a Pfister Model G134-3444, specs are http://s7d1.scene7.com/is/content/Pfister/ss-p134-01-p2

No clearance issues when open.

See davelin post about changing my faucet: http://www.trailmanorowners.com/foru...ghlight=faucet
