Handle of sink faucet broke

The handle on my galley sink faucet has broken. It needs to be replaced. It is only the handle, which fits down over the little post which swivels around. I wonder if anyone knows how I would go about finding out what to buy to replace it. That is, do all the Kodiak campers use the same model?

Any one of the camping stores have those faucets-the cheapest ever made (and the most expensive). The chancres of you getting one to replace only the faucet handle is pretty difficult.

Thanks. I was hoping not to have to replace the whole faucet. Not because of cost, which is pretty much immaterial, but because of the cramped area to work up under the sink.

You will need to have hose clamps or pex clamp pliers in order to replace it. I would cut the lines half way down then attach the pex lines to the new faucet then tie them together with a splice. Real PITA but now may be time to put in a filter or hot water dispenser!

I looked long and hard on Amazon and couldn't find a replacement handle. I found one that looked close, and ordered it. But when it came in, it was nowhere close. I just returned it. So now I have ordered a whole new faucet. Just to get the handle.

Did you try trekwood?

They have all kinds of OEM parts for our rigs. I have even purchased 5 year old vinyl decals there. Also found replacement d-rings for tie-downs that I couldn’t find elsewhere.

The site is pretty poorly organized and searches return way too may items but if you ate patient you can find just about everything.
