I thought I'd share this for future reference to anyone who faces the same problems I did.
I live in Sweden and and the faucets here all have 3/8 fittings on the hoses, while on my 2001 280 Sundancer it had 10 mm male fittings on the PEX tubes. I wanted to just replace the current PEX-fittings to ones that have 3/8, but it was hard finding a retailer with those in stock. And as always it was an emergency because the old faucet was running like it was fully open!
So the solution became this (the descriptions are in Swedish):
I bought a regular 10 mm clamping ring coupling (10 mm klämringskoppling) and used the nuts and and clamping rings on the current PEX-fitting (threw the middle part away), like this:
Faucet is working great, went with the cheapest 30$ IKEA LAGAN kitchen faucet. The manual said that the hole in the counter top had to be at least 34 mm, but it worked with the current 29 mm hole without any problems. The water flow at 3 bar is 5,5 l/minute (1,5 gpm) on this faucet so might want to replace the aerator to one with about 2-3 l/minute to save water.
Hope this helps!
