Sorry to correct you. But all faucets today are water savers. And most have the water saving device in the aerator. .
Let me explain in different words. I know all faucets from about 20 years have flow restrictors that annoy lot of people.
Those devices restrict water flow, what is not exactly saving. Just like "water saving" toilets when often requiring flushing twice flush the saving down the drain.
What I was getting to is, that with single level faucet you open it in split second and adjust the temperature immediately, while 2 knobs faucets take several seconds of water running before you get it right.

Is there a difference in drain pipe between RV and home? The ones in my trailer are black and seem thinner than the white stuff I have seen at stores. Can you use same glue?

Residential faucets should work fine in a TT, although they'll add some weight.
I'd try to use compression fittings for the drain instead of using glue. Compression fittings come back apart later and make it easier to repair again. Gluing things together makes it more difficult to repair again.

This is exactly why I'm looking to change my faucets. I'm tired of filling the greywater tank while I try to avoid being scalded.

It looks like the RV drain pipes under my sink are ABS and the residential stuff is PVC schedule 40. I guess I need to find ABS parts and glue to make it work. This may be an issue for others also.

If you can't find the abs, you can go from abs to pvc with a no-hub fitting. It is a rubber boot that has clamps on both ends. About $5 most places.
