Water temperature fluctuation problem

We have been chasing this problem for a while. Our water temperature varies wildly when using the pump and tank water. Once the temperature is adjusted for a comfortable shower the water goes quite cold when the pump cycles on. When the pump shuts off the water gets very hot for a few seconds before returning to the desired temperature. The same happens at the sinks. The problem does not occur at all when using city water.
The water heater valves are set properly and have been replaced to eliminate a leaky valve problem. The mixer faucet in the shower has been replaced. We found and repaired a kink in a water line near the valves. None of these actions have solved the problem.
So far Jayco hasn't come up with a course of action. I have placed another call to the tech people and am waiting for a reply.
We are looking for suggested solutions.

It is a pretty common complaint almost universally. The solution is to install a Accumulator tank in the water line near the pump as possible.
Do a search on this or most any rv forum and you will find plenty of threads and pictures.

Problem solved. After consulting with Shur-Flo (pump manufacturer) I turned the pressure adjustment on the pump up 1/2 turn. The pump no longer cycles on/off with the water running and the temperature remains constant.
