About a month ago, I took delivery of a 2015 Grandby and this is one of my first mods.
I have always wanted a pull out faucet with my sink to wash dishes and anything else I need in my sink. I would definitely use it in the future with washing my hair during trips if I didn't want to use my outside shower (maybe too cold outside?).
Anyway, the mod is not too tough to do. It requires some new parts and not forgetting to add the rubber seals (it leaks by the way if you don't),
The difficult part was taking off enough of the cabinet to actually get to the faucets, but here where the steps:
Take Screws off old faucet from top
Gain access to below the sink
Unscrew the hot and cold to the old faucet to remove it
Add in rubber seals to both hose ends
Add in new hose and run hose down below sink (this can get stuck -which mine did at first - if there is not room for the hose to come up and down right)
Screw in hot and cold to new faucet
Test for pressure and leaks
Enjoy using it!
New faucet (looks exactly like factory option)
Hose extended - it's plenty long for everything I wanted to do
Here is the link to the parts you need to do it:

Great mod and took about 1 hour to do. Mostly taking apart the cabinet to get to the area I needed to work on - not easy with front dinette.
