When I called JC they informed that in the Bambi they installed pressure cut off pumps and in the 23FB they had installed variable speed pumps (speed of pump reacts to pressure needed versus demand pump on 100% until pressure reached). Took out the accumulator tank and pressures were back to norm... noise still present.

Thanks for this. I think I've read about that, but mine is a 2014 and that's the old on/off pump so I should be OK. I might even just get a new pump. But meanwhile, I noticed something on my last trip. The banging pipes in the shower seems to dissipate quite a bit once the shower has been used and the pipes that service it are full of water.
