Guys when our beast comes out of storage this spring I need to replace the kitchen faucet, the bathroom faucet and the shower. Couple of them leak a bit which is fixable but my wife does not like the looks of them so she would rather I replace them. Can I use replacements from any store or do I have to buy fixtures made for an RV specifically for any reason?

You can use 'regular' faucets just make sure that it has the right number of holes. Take a look at the existing fittings under the cabinet and you can minimize the change out effort.

getting at the shower faucet will be the trick. on my 90 there is an access panel to it behind it. for my 02 i am not sure how it would get changed.
