Is there a kitchen sink faucet that anyone would recommend for the GMC? Or
a store recommendation? We are interested in finding one that has a pull out
sprayer.
Looking on the web, we found a few faucets for RVs, but they all needed 3
holes. When Alan took our broken one out, he said that there is only 1
hole, so none of the RV ones would work. So we started to look at normal
kitchen faucets, but have some concerns about the depths of the sinks.
Anyway, any suggestions / recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

I added a spray faucet to my house kitchen sink, and was able to drill through the stainless sink there with a bi-metal (good quality like a Starret, Milwaukee, etc.) hole saw in a hand drill pretty easily. So that would be one way to use a conventional kitchen faucet.
Also, on my 1977 Kingsley, the original faucet was a Moen, and the local independent hardware store had a rebuild kit on the shelf for it a year or two back. I don't particularly like Moen faucets, and will probably be hole-sawing away at it one of these days. I've seen a number of coaches that have the sink turned sideways in them to gain a wider counter space and kind of like that idea.

Ikea has some very nice single hole faucets at low prices. Since there are not a lot of Ikea's around, check then on line to see what they have now.

Well... we got sidetracked pulling out the furnace so the faucet did not get
put in. The sink is out right now too.
Question on the faucet, the coach plumbing has plastic lines with that flare
like end on it that is for attaching to faucets. The faucet I got has 3/8"
compression fittings. I am thinking of cutting the fittings off the coach
plumbing and putting a compression fitting on and then a coupling and then
attach the faucet supply lines. Is this a viable solution?
And on that note, my supply lines (hot & cold) to the kitchen sink have a
valve in line that diverts water to some kind of fitting where the hot &
cold lines join together. It appears to go through the floor. I guess this
is for draining the lines but I would have a hard time reaching the valves
once the sink and furnace are back in. Am I on the right track here?
