tackling the H2O system this fall

A goal I have this fall is to work on my on board water to quiet the pump down. I've read on doing the various things to make the pump a little more quiet. One obvious thing I see is that the line coming up from the tank was cut a little short and it's touching the floor where it comes into the trailer. It's actually almost crushed there it's so tight so I'll be adding an extension onto that line and isolating the pump from the floor. My question involves adding an accumulator so the pump doesn't cycle as often and from time to time during the winter we get temp fluctuations in the shower when the pump cycles so I'm trying to cut down on that. I realize it will depend on the amount of room I have which is actually quite a bit but what is a good size to look at? I'm not sure what the minimum should be. I've found the $40 shur-flo designed specifically for RV's. Good enough? Better bigger one out there I should look at?
