THOR #6582
Following on taylorbob1, I added the small Shurflo accumulator and like JamieGeek, I added it in-line from the pump. I was really dismayed that Thor puts the Use/Store latching relay on the floor of the same compartment with the pump. And the wiring is just thrown in on top as it gets installed. Repeat after me...electricity and water don't mix.

I first moved the relay up, now easily accessible. The pump was moved off the floor on plywood with some door mat resilient padding, along with the accumulator. Thor put the fresh tank drain on top of the gas tank and it would only dribble. I relocated that to the side wall and it flows much better.
Because the solar prewire (2x #10ga) was here I chose the easy route install the solar controller here and connected to output to the Line side of the relay (always live from the batteries). I wired in the Progressive Industries EMS on top of the transfer switch which does complicate replacing the switch later but space is limited. In all, I'm pretty happy with the outcome.
