The accumulator issue remains only temporarily resolved.
As I mentioned previously, zip ties are presently holding the accumulator in place:
I'm debating whether to reinforce the zip ties with metal strapping onto which the accumulator mounting holes would be secured. I'd leave the zip ties securing the tubing and associated outlets.

Sunrise in Quartzite:
I drove into nearby town of Quartzite for wider wall anchors and sundry items. When I returned, I spent the rest of the morning affixing the accumulator back onto the back wall of the RV. I wasn't satisfied with the tightness of the anchors, they were the largest or rather the widest ones in the hardware store, so I added a metal strap to further support the accumulator went on rough roads.
I am debating whether to a fix some zip ties to the metal strip to help support the actual tubing connectors as well.
It was quite warm this morning, no breeze, and I worked up a bit of a sweat doing this chore. I went into recovery mode the rest of the day.
It got quite warm today, low 90s. It was bearable in the shade outside the VRRV, inside not so much until the late afternoon.
Monday's sunset:

What does the accumulator do?
Nice sunsets
Thanks CCjon, I think of it as a capacitor for water....maintains pressure so the pump doesn't have to build up pressure each time you open a faucet.
I really liked the Monday sunsets, great photos. Adding zip ties won't hurt and since you can hit some rough roads it sounds like a good idea to me.
Thanks,Oz....and thanks for the feedback, like you said it couldn't hurt.
