On our first trip out in the new trailer, found the sink faucet in the bathroom was cracked. The crack grew as time went on.

After several trips to the dealer, leaving the trailer for weeks to months between trips, very little was being fixed (had a list with several items) so decided to start tackling things myself.

After looking at options to replace the faucet, decided on this one. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B9EEH9G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1. Received it today and it matched the sink color perfectly. The handles have a grey tint vs the brown tint of the original so kept the original handles incase I decide to swap them later.

The handles of the new sink are tilted slightly forward vs. being vertical like the original. That should keep everyone from scraping their knuckles on the wall when they turn the handles.

Looks great...and an improvement apparently. My thinking on buying a new RV is to try to get the best dealer around but get the best deal I can figuring I'm going to be doing some "warranty" repair work because I don't have the time or patience to leave my rig at the shop. You've fixed your issue with minimal investment but saved a lot of irritation - sounds like a win to me; and I hope to you as well.

I agree with your thinking 100%. BTW, just tried to swap out the handles with the original ones and of course they were different. But it's a very minor thing in my opinion and I doubt anyone but me will notice !?!?

That should do you. I replaced mine with an all metal one from HD, like $36. Went with a rubbed silver look since my knobs are already the same color.

DIY repairs on easy to fix items seems to be a "no brainer" for most of us. While there are some who insist that "It's under warranty, so I'm going to make them fix it"... Most of us find that the cost in time and transportation costs makes it easier to just do it ourself rather than haul it to the dealer, let it sit for weeks/months, go back to pick it up and find that something else is broken, damaged or missing.....

It's so much easier to just buy a $20 faucet, spend 20 minutes and be ready to go camping instead of spending an hour hitching, an hour hauling, an hour waiting to get the service order written, an hour home, then repeat in a few weeks when they call to "joyfully" tell us that it's ready to pickup.....

Congratulations on the faucet changeout, hopefully that'll be the only issue you have with your trailer and you'll enjoy camping without any more problems. BTW, while under the sink, did you notice the black tank anti-siphon valve ???? Keep an eye on it, every time you use the black tank flush, be sure to visually check it for leaks.

Looks good and like some here I just like fixing my own stuff unless I know nothing about it lol. We sure like the way our 2670 tows and ( knock on wood) our unit has been a pretty much trouble free.

Submit the cracked faucet with the receipt for the replacement to your dealer, see if they or Keystone may reimburse you. I was reimbursed for a kitchen faucet & all 4 brake assemblies, my labor of course was free.

I did see the anti-siphon valve but didn't know what it was. Will keep an eye on it when I flush the tank out. Thanks for the advice!

I've had mystery dings and damage around the work area when I've picked up my trailer from the dealer...that's another reason I decided to tackle some things on my own.

There's several other things that need to be fixed, but I can do all of them myself. Have an email trail with the service rep at the dealer listing what's broke and tracking the (painfully slow) progress. Might try to get reimbursed for parts as I go along like a few of the posters in this thread have mentioned.
