2012 or 2013 King Aire

We are interested in a used King Aire and are wondering if someone out there could tell is if these coaches come with built in "Surge Protector", for the electrical system and also if there is a "Pressure Regulator" built into the plumbing, water system on the coach.

I've looked in the brochure and I don't see either mentioned.

Thanks for the Help

I don't think the '12 or '13 models have a surge protector as standard equipment. If it's got a Silverleaf system, it should. E-Plex does not. If it does have it, it's part of the transfer switch, not a stand-alone. Unless a previous owner added one, that is.

I don't think there's a built-in pressure regulator. We've always used a high quality one with pressure gauge on the water fill line.

Thanks for your input. I kinda thought that it probably did have the Surge Protection, and I do believe that it has the Silverleaf. We do the same with the water.

Thanks for the help

CoachLight has a 2012 for sale. It's the owner's coach. I'm sure it has the surge protector included. Check their website.

Surge protector isn't listed on the website nor in the brochure either.

Sorry, I was suggesting you could view the coach on their website. I don't think you will see surge protector specified but I could be wrong. They put my surge protector in at the dealership. I have e-plex. I have travelled with Marty many times and I'm sure his coach has the protector. Hope this helps.

Hi! Starting in 2012 Newmar started installing a surge protector/transfer switch in all their coaches that had a Silver Leaf system. The 2012 King Aire and newer all have the Silver Leaf modules. Other models started at different times. Regards, paul

FWIW, Tom Johnson Camping World (western NC) has a 2013 KA for sale. Toured it today during an Owner's Week event at Hilton Head Island Motorcoach Resort. It will be here til Monday, then headed back to dealership.
