Great point! On many coaches there is a significantly sized unused area forward of the sink, behind the drawers\icemaker. Perfect for something like this

I think some of the trouble with safety valves is the number of pump accumulators that have been removed or are not working. The accumulators are small but the expansion of water in the hot water tank is only about .16 gallons. The safety valves will start leaking by if they have to vent even this small amount of water over and over again.  As for having a small amount of air in your tank so that there is room for expansion. That will work for a short time, but with flow through the tank the air will mix with the water and be lost and you will start popping the safety valves again. Gam
