Question about kitchen faucets for those in the know?

We are remodeling our kitchen, new everything. I have a nice at my house faucet in the sink. is a nice Moen pull down single handle thing.
CAN I use this in the camper?
I am just asking as this is last thing(cabinet, kitchen sink, and very nice faucet) to pull out of kitchen space.
The new kitchen colors and hardware will not go with this faucet so out it goes. We bought this around a year ago in the discounted hardware bin at Lowes and it retailed for around $200. but we bought it dirt cheap. So I don't want to get rid of it and the wife asked can't we put it in the camper???
I just didn't know. So I am asking.
Thanks
randy
PS I have replaced the sink in the camper once when I had that accident but that was 2-3 years ago and I just can't remember how it all hooked up.
same threads?? etc.

Yes it can be used in the RV. I have changed a couple of them. The only issue you may run into is the pull out hose for the house faucet is very long and designed for the large area under a kitchen cabinet. RVs typically have less space and shelving under the sink. You will need to move the weight up the hose so it keeps the sprayer head securely held into the faucet. That will also shorten the length that you can pull the sprayer out. Other than that, and crawling under the RV sink to replace it, no issues.

Also be careful how it turns on. We are finding the single handle levers that you pull down are opening during travel and leaking water. One customer left the water pump on, and flooded the trailer on the way to the campground. A simple Velcro strap will keep the handle in the closed position.

I replaced the factory dual knob faucet in our Bullet with a single knob pull out. One of the best mods I did to the trailer. Much easier when adjusting temps especially when they're scalding hot. The center stack on the single knob pull out was larger than the sink's mounting hole so I had to dremel it bigger. Otherwise, a simple wrench and some elbow grease was all that was needed. Turn off the water pump before traveling and the risk of any leak vanishes.

I agree, turn off the pump and bleed off the pressure.

Thanks all.
Wife called me today and said the kitchen cabinets will be installed next week so I can keep my sink and faucet in my house through the weekend then out by Monday night. we are using camping tables for the microwave and coffee maker. SO next project here I come.PLUS I need to adjust the brakes on the camper too.
I now understand why they say if you can survive a house building together you got it made..This has been one of the hardest things we have done in a long time.
Thanks again,,
randy
