Water pump...if everyone can keep their cool!
Since my original post got closed down:(, I think I have come up with game plan! I will keep the existing 4048 SureFlo, add a couple feet of 1/2 flexible high pressure hose on the downstream side of ...

If 2 feet works, why would I need to try 15'-25'? Not sure what's going on with your coach but in all the years of reading these kinds of post I have NEVER seen anyone post that they used or needed 15' of coiled hose to quiet their water pump. IMHO, if you do, something is terribly, terribly wrong.
In hopes of calming your response, I really don't care. Use all the hose you like but the majority of RVers will never have any need for anything like a 15' loop (wrapped in whatever).
But as you say - I really don't care whether you agree or not, I've got the proof that pump vibration largely radiates out through the output hose and the more soft potable water hose that is used before it eventually connects to the trailer's hard wall PEX system the greater will be the dampening effect. In my case, I do have the personal experience to prove this is the case. ;)
I have ordered the two accumulator tanks, the check valve and I'm gonna put 3' of flexible 1/2" high pressure hose with 1/2" FPT threads on each side of the accumulator. This is a total of 6' of sound deadening hose and I think with some additional pump mount silencing should really take down the surging and noise. I did some mods to the factory plumbing when I installed the under-sink filter and I think there could be some "surge slapping" of the pipes against the coach. I will look into this too.
