I have made a poor-man's [sic] version of this.  My faucet is just
about gone so I took it out.  I put in step-down sized hoses for the
water line.  I cut a black piece of plastic to cover the gaping hole
where the faucet was. I drilled the 3 screw holes.  I bought a bulge
pump switch that is a 3 way switch - off-on-push.  I filled the switch
with Di-lectric (spelling?) grease - (to keep the water out).  In the
center of the black plastic I cut a rectangular hole for the switch -
and a hole for the water hose and installed each.  The water hose is
about 18 inches long and just curls up in the sink when not in use. In
doing this I have no water from the outside hose fitting - but I have
NEVER used this feature in 3 vans and 20 years.

When the weather gets warmer, I'll get some digi-pics up fort he
interested to see.  Malcolm
