The fittings per the vendor website seem odd/different to me. They are 1/2" NPSM-Male". NPSM - national pipe straight mechanical. I would have expected NPT, but that is not what is here. Is NSPM what I have used on home faucet fixtures where the sealing surface is a rubber gland at the end face of the fitting? Seems when I search for NSPM at HD or Lowes, I do not get a clear answer.
I couldn’t find them around here either and resorted to some Shurflo hoses to get going. NPT really didn’t fit. I tried to get by local.
I noted in the accumulator installation instructions that they recommend setting the accumulator pressure to the pump cut-off pressure. Since the accumulator is shipped at 30 psi, did you need to add air to the accumulator or did it work fine at 30 psi?
So did I. Just finished 3 days in the trailer and I noticed that I hadn't actually turned the water pump on. My wife had turned it on and used a bit of kitchen sink water from time-to-time but that was all. I wonder if anyone has ever studied whether pumps that don't have to cycle on and off for every little bit of water use last longer.

I believe you mean the cut-in or restart pressure (not to be confused with shut-off or cut-out pressure). This would be 40 PSI if you have the Shurflo 4008.
