Not to bring up a bad name, but JC Whitney sells a pump that fits 
in the original location, and has done just fine for me, plus a 
faucet/switch combo, for about $30 or so for everything, as I 
recall.  I've seen what appears to be the identical package at RV 
supply stores (generally for more money).  My only complaint was 
that the water pressure was just a bit too high (splashed out of 
the sink).  I constricted the outgoing water line with a hose 
clamp.  Feared this might overheat the pump, but it lasted the 
whole camping season without a problem.  For about $20 for the pump 
alone (I didn't buy the faucet/switch), I think I got my moneys 
worth already.>
