I'm pretty much ready to install my accumulator but as I'll be winterizing next week for long term storage I'm going to hold off until ready to resume RVing. Interesting that you need to precharge the reservoir, seems like 30psi is the recommendation. Also may need to check this at times so need to consider a mounting location that allows access to the valve. Hopefully Newmar is educating its customers this is not an install and forget item, it will require maintenance to operate properly.
Directions recommend using a high pressure braided hose so I have some on the way:
Amazon product ASIN B0BZHXS6Y9
I also picked up some more fittings so I'm ready for the task when the time comes. Plumbing is always a puzzle that requires several trips to find fittings so hope I'm armed and ready!

Hoping I can install through the shower panel area when removed otherwise I'll have to remove the wet bay board which I'm fine with, not hard, done it before. Again, just need careful attention for future pressure management.
