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.

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.
