RV fawcett that folds up??

Has anyone seen a Rv or non RV faucet that folds down into the sink? This way, the sink can be pushed in with the faucet inside the sink. I have a Shurflo on demand pump that'll deliver water to this faucet.

Hope this made sense! I only need one knob; don't have hot AND cold water yet!

Shurflo makes a few of these. Both of these are made by them.

Seach Trinidad, folding faucet and Tap as well.

The second one is really popular on the aussie trailers... it is what I am looking at but I can't find it in the gray color anymore.

Thanks Drew. The second one (above) is an electric switch faucet and I'm wondering if I'll need that style for the on demand pump. I guess doesn't matter if the internal switch will simply turn on the pump and then the pump will automatically pressurize the pump. I'll check out their non-elec model as well. Was curious as to how it folds down; maybe just the neck rotates downward?

Are you trying to mount the faucet in the regular holes on top of a sink? If you want it to fold into the sink itself for storage, I am not sure if there is anything on the market for that. The white shurflo above mounts with the blue nipples inside the mount. I guess you could mount that to the inside of the sink wall and rotate it up for usage, but it might not work well like that.

Yes, if you have an on demand pump the build in switch is your best option, turn on the water and it turns on the pump... Hope it helps a bit. If you find something that folds into the sink be sure to let me know, that would rock.

Dometic makes sinks for those fold down faucets. Unfortunately, Dometic of USA doesn't offer them. Would need to buy from overseas.
