Can a shower facet purchased from Lowes or Home Depot work in a Itasca MH or do you have to purchase those items from MH stores?

It's unlikely that there will be much of a compatibility issue. Take a close look at the connections necessary. If you can make them work without too much modification then yes it will work. A faucet is nothing more than a valve that opens and closes. If you can make the change between the past and the present the faucet will work just fine.

Welcome to the Forum. As Bill said, they should be fairly compatible. Most M/Hs are plumbed with Pec tubing and a lot of new plumbing fixtures have Pec fittings or can be adapted for Pec.

Small world. I just bought and installed a regular home kitchen sink faucet in our coach today. No problem as long as you VERIFY that the fittings/connections will work.

I pulled the old faucet and took it in to match connectors. Found a better quality faucet at a plumbing store than at a box store for the same price.
