I replaced my bathroom faucet in my MH, so I can't say for sure your camper (make and model?) will be the same.
I wanted a single handle unit and therefore all the hoses and drain rod go through one hole - Therefore I had to enlarge the hole in my counter
with a router. The ends are usually smaller on home units so I had to adapt up to have them fit the hoses in my MH.
Doable but it usually will take some effort on your part the make sure you have all the stuff to make it work.
I also purchased shut off valves in the fittings I used - in case I ever had a problem or want to change them again etc.

We just did our kitchen faucet, was told hook ups would be the same and it?s much cheaper to buy a house one. Well, hook ups/fittings were quite different, instead of buying adapters and to save us a headache we exchanged it for an rv one for about $30 more.

I just changed the kitchen sink faucet last weekend with a residential style faucet.....easy to change out, other than somewhat limited space compared to the house sink. No difference at all and was done in about 1/2 hour.

They are the same, but there are several sizes (spacing of the faucets) and many different fittings for connection to the water lines. If you've ever swapped out some house faucet sets, you probably already know this.

Two answers: For your purposes YES they are the same. or nearly so.. More on that later
Second asnwer: Often of lesser quality as in "Knock off" quality instead of Genuine _Brand_.
The promised "more"
*I have run into only one issue changing faucets, this was on the kitchen which was a DELTA knock off and I replaced with a different brand.
Both are single handle.. Pull out sprayer types (the faucet head is also the sprayer)
On the OEM the cold and HOT pipes you connect to were the same length
On the Replacement one pipe was longer than the other.. So I had to use a flex hose to connect.
other than that no difference worth talking about, .
