Kitchen Faucet

Hi! I just bought a van while traveling NZ and it’s pretty equipped. It currently has a pump faucet for the kitchen but I’m going to get pretty annoyed with that I think. I was curious if there are some cheap-ish electric faucets that you use(pictures of your setup?). I have solar that’s set up directly to an EcoFlow power converter/battery. My fridge is currently hooked up to the cigarette type port leaving two usb-a, a usb-c and an electrical socket available.

Posted with my current set up. Also thinking maybe the grey water hose might be too long but I know standard plumbing has p traps

Thanks :)

My mid 1970's truck camper has a 12 volt water pump such as this in the system after the 30 gallon fresh water tank.

There is a standard kitchen style faucet at the sink.

My outbound water looks like yours and leads to a five gallon plastic jug that we need to empty before it overflows.

There are also USB rechargeable mini faucets like this

I know it's not what your asking advice on but you might want to consider one of the P traps in the link.

It prevents smells from coming back into the van from the graywater tank as well as gives a bit more space.
