I have made a poor-man's [sic] version of this. My faucet is just about gone so I took it out. I put in step-down sized hoses for the water line. I cut a black piece of plastic to cover the gaping hole where the faucet was. I drilled the 3 screw holes. I bought a bulge pump switch that is a 3 way switch - off-on-push. I filled the switch with Di-lectric (spelling?) grease - (to keep the water out). In the center of the black plastic I cut a rectangular hole for the switch - and a hole for the water hose and installed each. The water hose is about 18 inches long and just curls up in the sink when not in use. In doing this I have no water from the outside hose fitting - but I have NEVER used this feature in 3 vans and 20 years.

When the weather gets warmer, I'll get some digi-pics up fort he interested to see. Malcolm
