Has anyone replaced the 2021 faucet with one that can swivel?  The faucet on the BD allows a 360 aerator to be screwed on but the 320S does not so want to replace the entire faucet.  I know it’s been done with earlier Tabs but don’t know how different this year’s model is.  Thanks!

    I agree the faucet should swivel! Now if it could incorporate a shut off as it swiveled! A simple quarter turn valve coupled to the swivel, but requires more mech cleverness than I have to also keep it simple.

    We replaced ours with a bar prep sink faucet.  It swivels side-to-side and also has a spray tip on the end that swivels.  We've been very happy with it and installation was very easy.  We have a cutting board that is big enough to span the stove or the sink so we can have more counter space.  The swiveling faucet accommodates the cutting board and gives you working room.  The original faucet was just in the way.

    Yes, you do have to be careful when it's swiveled to the side.  If you accidentally hit the handle you quickly end up with a very wet counter!  A shutoff would be nice but complicates things.

    thank you so much @WayneW!!! And this is for a 2021, right?  

    I won’t be able to do this myself. Is this something a regular plumber could do?  Or maybe I can check with the service department of my dealer. Can’t wait to make the change.

    Yes, we did that in a 2021 320S Boondock. 

    Someone with a basic level of plumbing knowledge could do this. I used the existing water lines. You might get a flashlight and try sticking your head under the sink. Study it, look at the new faucet, and heck, maybe you’ll decide you can do it!  A regular plumber could do this.

    @WayneW - Any chance of a picture of that faucet installed in your 320? Thinking of doing the same mod on ours. Thanks.

    Here are a couple of photos of the faucet and the cutting board that we use as counter space.  The cutting board spans either the sink or the stovetop with the glass down.  I put some stick-on plastic feet on the board to raise it above the sink and stove level.  It makes for a decent serving tray too.  We also put in a stainless backsplash, which is just stick-on tiles from the big orange box store.

    I replaced our faucet with elbolillo's recommendation found on this thread.  https://tab-rv.vanillacommunity.com/discussion/14553/faucet-replacement-tab-320-2021#latest
    It works great and still available.  You will need a plumber's wrench to get at the faucet nut under the counter, behind the sink.  It's tight in there but doable.
