That is the pump and hoses I have.

Four screws and two wires. Very simple.

The above pump comes with rubber bases as does the accumulator. Accumulator comes with connector needed to couple the accumulator to pump.
I soft mounted the pump and accumulator on a piece of hard wood board and then mounted the board to the flooring.

Overall if able to eliminate each form of vibration or transfer of it is ideal. (For those
Who haven't tried these yet....)
1.Shurflo 4008/Revolution pump 65.00 (latest version and new quieter pump technology).
Direct 12v retrofit and fittings to the originals). Reduces pulsing racket to 1/3-1/2.
2. Quiet kit hoses (25.00) longer and wider inside diameter to not restrict flow) reduces the physical virbraton transfer to the original PEX rigid pipes that lay through the flooring which also vibrates all around because.
3. Accumulator. 65.00. Adds another link to buffer and keeps pressurized water smoothing out flow and pump on/off demands. Less demands=less noise.
4. Lastly, some type of home grown decoupling plate that further insulates both sides and motors rubber feet from floor. Many have tried this first.
Most noise seems to begin from the original factory pump and direct coupling to the PEX pipes resting on the floor.
Overall, using 1,2,3, above so far, racket is less than 1/5 and far more tolerable. Fun quick project with quick results.

At the hardware store they have rubber grommets. Several sizes I used them on my propane tanks when the o- rings failed. E- trailer has 36'' stainless steel propane hoses, if anyone needs to replace them. Made in the U.S.A. around $18.00

I did too and it made quite a difference in the sound level. I do not have the accumulator, just the sound kit.
Well. I am finally getting around to moving beyond function and getting into personalization. I added cedar planks to the cupboards and got some new bed coverings.

Noise transfer from touching vent

Whatever done, need to mention additionally keeping any hoses from even "touching" or resting on PVC vent pipe which runs around the rig and can transfer noise anywhere the pipe goes.
After new pump and quiet kit coudn't figure why some pump noise was seemingly also across in the bathroom till separating this touching with foam surround, sponge and tie wraps. Knocked noise down additional 5 db more.
(Oh yeah, Honeywell battery operated water detector 15.00 with long flexible striped probe to monitor the entire area under hose and new additional 1/2" threaded connections!)

A lovely pile of bits for some needed projects.

Propane Bottle Lock !
On the road and storing away from home, a little out of my element.
In an effort to keep the meth cookers at bay....
https://www.etrailer.com/search/Propane+Lock
Reasonably priced I thought and very well done.

Did you specify "for Airstream trailers"?

No I didn't.... I wanted the one that went down on the bar itself, worked out great.
I think the "AS only" one tries to lock up the cover at the same time, but in my mind that's the weakest link. I drilled a hole up at the top wingnut and cover and have a lock there also for added measure given the fact that a replacement is close to $700 balloons !
PS: Check your rod too. Mine is 3/8" not 1/2"

They gave me one free to be a test mule and write a review.
I couldn't get the first one to attach, so they modified it and called it the one "for Airstream trailers".
I can't remember exactly why the first one wouldn't go on. I think it had something to do with the cast aluminum thingy that holds the 2 propane tanks in place.

Nice tray. I have the plastic version. Been on the lookout for metal.

Chief, the trays came from a military surplus store. Seems these days I'm attracted to most anything silver and shiney. They have a company sticker on the back I will take a look at who makes them.

A couple weeks ago while hooking up at Fort Pickens to head over to Canopener my receiver lock self-destructed. Receive this matching set from Amazon today.

What did you get for your Trailer today?
The company sent me a private message asking if I was interested in participating.
The only catch was I had to write a review.
Of course the review was positive since I got a free Fortress Gaslock.
That might have been 3-4 years ago.
