2016 Luxury Motorcoach Has a Lot of New RV Features
I was looking at this big 2016 luxury motorhome diesel pusher. It’s a Newmar model called the “King Aire” on a Spartan K3 GT tag axle chassis, which is one of the most powerful chassis used in motorhomes. This big motorhome is all controlled by a phone/computer app.
Back to that chassis. It doesn’t sit down as far, so there’s a bunch of large storage doors all around the unit leading to water, trays, and all kinds of other things underneith. And those luggage doors are all connected to a warning system that if a door is open and you put it in gear, it alerts you.
They even put a small tray in front of the water compartment to make the most of motorhome storage space.
This model has a “Gerard awning package” that goes right around the unit, including slide toppers for the electronic slides that expand the interior. Part of that awning package is an awning for the large screen TV that is on the outside of the luxury coach. And when you’re finished with your amazing motorhome, it will sit well in vehicle storage until you need it for your next road trip.
The 2016 has new graphics from previous years, which you can see in the photo above.
Also on the exterior, double brake lights/rear lights. The King Air also has a larger alternator (350 amp) to better power all the energy-requiring amenities.
There’s DEF fills on both sides of the vehicle for added convenience so you don’t have to try to park to get to one side or the other.
By the way, this company, NewMar motor coaches, were the first ones to ever put a slide on an RV, which they did in 1989, according to Newmar. The slides on these new motor coaches are flat slides. To read more about these NewMar 2016 model motorcoaches (click here).
The Kingsley Coach RV Truck Conversion Into Class A Motorhome!
So, you think you have a Motorhome? Well, (to paraphrase Crocodile Dundee), THIS is a MOTORHOME!…
Or so says the owner. Notice how the sides round off? Kind of unusual, given that most trailers feature a somewhat boxy look. Also, the owner says that this unit is fun to drive. This is one of the origin-style Kingsley Coaches, also called the LeAnn Rimes style because LeAnn’s dad Wilbur bought three of the first ones when 13-year-old LeAnn was about to go on a big tour. Back in those days, in addition to having a lot of luxury motorhome amenities for a whole music road crew and an office, they also had a tanning bed (it was the 90s when we knew tanning beds could cancer but were not yet ready to take steps to do anything about it, and tanned skin was popular in some way).
So this luxury motorhome, or motorcoach, is one of the first. Actually its the Class 8 model that the builders TimeLine Designs used for promotion, so it has the bells and whistles that show off what the custom motorcoach conversion company can do.
A couple of plusses:
Doesn’t “wallow” or lean around corners because of heavy chasis and low center of gravity. Lots of power with its 410 horsepower Cummins engine and 750 Allison Auto tranny. Also, it can be re-outfitted if someone wants to have TimeLine do that. This truck was listed for sale on TimeLineDesigns site, and I don’t see it modified, so it probably is still for sale if anyone wants to call them and inquire about it (visit TimeLine click here). The basis for this custom motor coach is a 1997 Peterbilt Class 9 Highway Tractor and the coach was also built in 1997. It had 190,000 miles when offered up as a motorhome for sale.
