I find pull out faucets to be very useful in the vanagon.  I use mine as a
hand shower.  Just pull it out the side window or front door and hose
yourself off.
If the pump switch is on the faucet head, it is easy to use and you can save
a lot of water.  Hold the faucet and turn the pump on with one hand.
The Canadian Eurovan Westfalias (1992 - 199?) had faucets like this.  The
Winnebago eurovan did not, as far as I know.
