We're very miserly with our water usage, and when I'm doing dishes, I need an extremely low-flow faucet. I mean like a tiny trickle, drip-drip-drip. It's difficult to achieve that with the faucet that Winnebago ships with the Revel (2018-2020), so I've been looking for solutions.
After trying four different faucet attachments, I finally found one that works well (Niagara Conservation N3115P-FC Dual Spray Swivel 1.5 GPM with Pause Valve Sink Faucet Aerator). It allows me to turn on the water to any pressure, and then it offers a fine-control lever to bring the water down to a tiny trickle. Eureka! The best $1.29 gizmo that I've found for the Revel.
UPDATE:
Here is a picture of how this unit attaches to the Revel faucet (2018 model).

Sometimes it gets too hot in the front seats when we're parked at camp, so I wanted to find a way to get some ventilation through the cab without letting bugs in. The horribly named Skreenz offers a 'screened pouch' that you can drop over your door, allowing you to open the front windows without bugs entering. They also have a velcro drawstring to tighten the screens around the mirrors, along with magnets to keep the screens from moving around. I haven't found either of them to be necessary, so far.
They're a somewhat expensive addition to the van, and I don't use them all the time, but on a hot day in the front seats at camp, they can be pretty handy.
NOTE: I discontinued using these screens in lieu of a simpler vent found here.

I recently upgraded the Revel's cabinet latches with Owl Vans' metal latches. It was a little bit frustrating, since 2018 Revels have an unusual latch position, and required a special catch for the latch. Installation instructions are online, but here are a few comments from my experience.
There are 6 latches to replace, and I spent a few hours doing the replacement and adjusting them to fit properly. As ridiculous as it sounds, I found the removal of the chrome plastic discs to be a real pain, and although I tried hard to save them intact, I ended up destroying them with brute force by the 2nd or 3rd latch.
The positioning of the 2018 latch required a CUSTOM catch mechanism for $30 from Owl, and I was kind of irritated that the screw holes did not match the previous holes from Winnebago, meaning that I had to put new holes in the cabinet frame. Not sure why this is the case - - is it somehow bad practice to reuse the holes?
Note that the new custom catch mechanism for the 2018's extends an inch or so into the cabinet opening, unlike the Winnebago version, which was tiny & minimal.
In spite of my best efforts, these latches are not quite as tight as the originals, so I added some adhesive foam pads for any vibration that I may have introduced.
It was a bit of an expense for something that is mostly aesthetic, but they do look better (IMHO), and they definitely feel better under your hand - - higher quality, and with a more durable mechanism.

Many of us have found that the pantry door has excessive 'snap' from the springs in the hinges. Following some others' advice, I removed the springs in the center hinges. The pantry door opens and closes with about 33% less force now, so that's an improvement.
The springs are encased in metal capsules that are easily removed with a flathead screwdriver. They will go flying when they're released, however, so put a towel or cloth up against them to dampen their trajectory, and keep your eyes closed or covered.
