Now I just need it to stop raining so I can finish de-winterizing, fill the FW tank and check for leaks.
With an in depth discussion, there is a lot that can be learned on this subject.

I wish I could claim a lot of science when into my tank selection. This is the Shurflo tank, which is one of 2 accumulator tanks I found at RV part stores. FloJet also makes a similar sized accumulator but the FloJet uses quick connect fittings where the Shurflo uses threaded couplings which was a better match for my plumbing. I've seen others here install a small residential accumulator which would be larger than this model, but I didn't have the space. Besides this mounted like the space was made for it.
I did get to leak test when I de-winterized yesterday and no surprises. Pump cycling was reduced significantly.
