spout swivels both up and down and side to side the cover easily closes.  Not
much modification is needed.  Since the hole in the sink is bigger than the
Shurflo, I borrowed an idea I found from someone else.  I bought 2 circular
plastic door bumpers from Lowes or Home Depot and drilled a hole in the
center for the Shurflo.   I wanted something other than white and found a
gray Shurflo and spray painted one of the washers gray to match the faucet
and used one washer on top and one on the bottom.

Since the Shurflo does not have a outside water connection, I disconnected
the hose from the old faucet to the outside water connection and screwed a
cap on the inside to keep someone from accidentally flooding the van from
the outside.  Not having the outside water connection is not an issue with
us since we never used it.   I may be missing something else, but this was
not a hard modification.

The Shurflo is so much easier to use than the original faucet in that you
can control the flow and can move the spout around---also the on/off
control is much easier to use.  My wife absolutely loves this change and
out of every modification we have done to the van, this is probably her
favorite.
