dont get the faucet thats posted above from dometic, they make another model thats way stronger, uses braided hose compared to plastic nipples that crack off very easily.14322650_913361348768272_5509947160507390845_n.jpg

This may or may not help - I've got a slide-out kitchen in my Jeep with a folding table, and I made up a removable spigot holder for it. The spigot is mounted on a piece of sheet metal that's got a bend on the lower end the slides under the rim of the sink. For stowing the folding table, the sink pops out of the hole and the spigot and mount come out too.

The water source is a Rubican water container mounted to the side of the fridge slide.

Where did you find the spout insert for the water can? I have an expeditionOne Geri (similar to rotopax) 4gal and looking for a replacement cap with either a spout or the tube like you've done.

I used the cap that came with it. I picked up a spigot on eBay for $5:

I cut a new insert for the cap from plastic with a hole in it for the spigot:

Also I added a vent to the container to allow good flow:

Found the vents on eBay too:

Thanks, in the photo it looks brass or metal of some kind.

Sorry for the hijack, carry on.

The insert in the photo of it plumbed to the remote spigot is brass, I made that insert for attaching the hose that goes to the sink faucet. Since you asked about the cap and a spigot, I answered about how I mounted the spigot in the cap, for which I used plastic.
