  • Replace Bathroom Faucet

    I have a Reflection 295 RL 5th wheel. I am looking for recommendations to replace the cheap plastic bathroom faucet that squeaks at every use. I have taken apart and applied silicone spray but that has still not resolved the problem

    Any 4" centerset bathroom faucet will fit. Picture below is an example, not a recommendation.

      Silicone spray is not the appropriate lubricant for washerless faucets. There is a grease-style silicone plumbing lubricant made for that purpose and lasts pretty well. I still don't blame you for wanting to replace the plastic faucet, though.

        I’m not sure it’s the brand they use or what, but mine also squeeked and drove me me crazy. After shopping around and not wanting to spend a fortune, I decided to try one I found on Amazon that matched pretty well. In believe it’s still plastic, but I replaced it over a year ago and there is no squeak whatsoever. The finish seems to have come off a bit though. Here’s a pic of the one I got (I think).

          Rob - this may be what you are referencing as many of us have used this for years both at home and in RVs.

            Yes. The lube I have right now came in a little canister, but probably the same stuff.
