The rubber is seen tight against the screened opening of the tank at the fitting. There is no concern of water freezing inside. No plumbing pressure means no water, so don't worry about winterizing.
I was going to put in an accumulator tank, but could not figure out an easy way to keep from filling the tank with RV antifreeze when winterizing.
They recommend 10 to 20 psi in the tank when there is no pressure in the plumbing. The shrader valve is behind the 2" plastic dome on the opposite side of the fitting. In my picture above, it is that blue cap up top. It unscrews off the valve. In my case I access that valve by removing the bed platform. During installation, you need to consider access to the valve.
