You probably could use a sink sprayer but for the price that I payed at the RV surplus store it could not be beat.

can you post some more detailed pictures of your toilet sprayer? I would like to see how you hooked to your water source.

When you get to the bedroom door leave a little extra carpet before cutting off so you can tuck it back underneath and re-staple carpet down. I picked up exact matching vinyl from keystone and I think I have a whole bunch left.

Thanks very much for the info.You have done some really great mods and have given me some ideas to do to ours. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for posting - some great ideas.
I also have a 299RK but not yet modified to be allowed on Australian roads,
What is your impression of the Trail Air hitch and its ride?
I was going to purchase a Fifth Airborne as a friend did and it is a lot heavier construction than the Lippert
Is the Trail Air also of a heavier construction than the original?
Cheers

I can't get to trailer at the moment for pics, but I think
I can give you a little help, just have a peek behind toilet and you will see a hose barb, you just cut the tip off and attach sprayer hose to it with a small hose clamp. You will have to depress pedal to have it spray.

I will never tow a 5er without some kind of air pin. I only towed my 5er home from the dealer, about 100 miles without the trail-air and wondered what we got into with the harsh ride. The trailer wasn't one day old when I did this mod, and have been happy ever since. I got mine when tail-air was still on their own, so I don't know about the heavier construction but I can tell you I have not had a single problem with it.

I went ahead and used an existing sink sprayer I already had. Just cut the end off the nipple on the toilet, side the hose on and clamp it.

Free, except I don't get the nice holder you have.

Glad to be of service.
