Plumbing parts by VIN? Leaking faucet
Our kitchen sink drips constantly and I took the parts inside the two handles figuring the o-ring is bad or something inside them cracked. Anyway, 2 rv dealers, Home Depot, and Lowes don't have the part. I don't know the faucet manufacturer so wondering if there is a website were I can enter my VIN to get the build sheet or part numbers? I don't want to replace the entire faucet without more searching. Thanks! We have a 2013 Shamrock.

Go buy a new faucet to fit your tastes and install it. Best 30 minute job you can do for your trailer.

Good luck on a build sheet, Even if you get one, I will only have info on major appliances. Just get a new faucet.

What they didn't tell you: Get a new faucet at Home Depot, Lowes, Menards. Any home faucet will work.

O rings are readily available, if it is anything else toss the faucet and put in a better one. Most RV's use the cheapest thing they can source, most are junk from the get go.

I hear it every day from my customers: “It just needs an o-ring” or “ it just needs a washer”, etc., etc.
I can tell you without even knowing what kind of faucet the OP has: it does not need an o-ring. It does not need a washer. He will not be able to fix it with parts from a hardware store or brick and mortar plumbing supply house.
It is not worth the futile effort he will put forth in trying to find the specific part he needs.
He should replace what he has with a known name brand faucet so he can then find parts when he needs them.

If your hell bent on fixing it Just take it apart, remove any o-rings and go to a good hardware store and match them up. Me? I'd throw it in the trash and buy a new one.

Faucet problem
I guess that nobody agrees with me on this one, but the O ring at the time at the autopart did work for me in one trip
and it did fix the problem 5 years ago.
Plus the autopart guy gave it to me HA!HA!
