Roger.    I REALY like your water pump / accumulator set up.  The option to easily remove / service both the water pump and the accumulator is a great idea.  Mostly cause we know that neither the water pump or the accumulator are a forever thing. Both of them will eventually need replacement/ servicing , in fact given the relative low cost of the accumulator and water pump why not just replace both when either go south.

Bob, sort of my thinking when the 20 yr old accumulator gave it up. Pump not far behind?  The whole assembly was not that much more than just the tank and easier to get. And you are right, a couple of hand connection and two wires, 4 screws and it is out. It would be nice to find soft rubber  mounts  for it.  I have flex hoses.

This is what was in the coach (OEM) when we got it.

We installed an extra water pump switch by the door, so when leaving we can see if the switch LED is light and then turn pump off before we lock the door.

Just a note:  the accumulator can be connected anywhere in the cold water system.
Water Pump Accumulator Tank

I put mine in a storage compartment on my trailer with easy access to the air schrader valve, also you set the pressure high enough not to trip your pump switch every time. I bought the largest tank I could fit so I can get enough volume to get the best use of having an accumulator in the system. Like folks who live off a well know the value of a large pressure tank.
