I totally agree Edward. I installed one last year and wondered why I waited so long. I didn't realize when I purchase mine that it has an adjustable throttle, so you can turn it way down to just a trickle or go full bore. I also installed a quick connect, which allows me to attach mine directly to my Coleman hot water on demand via a female adapter on the end of the Coleman. This allows me to have hot water on demand, in addition to a great faucet. Happy trails, Troy >I recently put a Shurflo faucet in my Westy. I've been wanting one > for quite a while.
