Upgrade for bathroom sink faucet and power/AC monitoring

[pfoster002]

Hello all. We have a 2020 Reflection 337RLS. We purchased a new nicer faucet that was all metal from Amazon. It looked so nice, but it leaked so bad...even after using plumbers tape. We want a nickel finish with a small Goose neck faucet. The original faucet is so cheap and short. If you have upgraded a new and better faucet successfully on this model, could you please send links to the products that you used. Thank you so much! The pipe connection on old faucet is plastic and the new metal. We think it was either the material or the length of the pipet connection from the faucet to the hose. It was hard to tighter up.

Also, we are about to take an 9 day trip to Colorado, and we are looking for a way to monitor our power and AC. We do not have a router. We are on AT&T. Looking for an app that will let us know if power goes out or there are issues. We have 2 beautiful fur babies that we need to protect. I have researched some...but it appears you have to have a WIFI router in the 5th wheel?
Thank you so much friends and have a blessed day!

Not sure what type of faucet you purchased but sounds like it is not residential. If not, and you purchased a nicer RV type faucet then there should be no need for plumbers tape. If you overtighten those fittings, you can cause leaks. If it leaks now without significant tightening, you may need to remove the existing fitting and replace it.

Personally, I replace with residential faucets and then add a Pex B shut off valve to each line and connect with crimp ring to the existing water line.
