Shurflo Trail King 30 PSI (2095-403-443): The High-Flow Pump Every RV Owner Should Choose
For RV, caravan, campervan and boat owners looking for reliable water supply with serious flow and pressure, meet the Pentair Shurflo Trail King (Part No. 2095-403-443). This is not your basic pump. It delivers 10.6 litres per minute at 30 PSI (2.1 bar) in a compact, efficient form. Built tough and serviceable, it’s engineered for durability for life on the road or sea.
6 Reasons Why the Trail King Stands Out
- Impressive Flow & Pressure
Delivering ~10.6 LPM, this pump supports showers, sinks, and multi-tap use without lag or performance drop. - Self-Priming & Run-Dry Safe
The triple diaphragm design kicks in immediately - even when tank level is low. It handles occasional dry runs without damage - perfect for mobile setups. - Built-in Safety Features
Internal thermal overload protection and an automatic reset motor ensure safe operation in challenging conditions. Once pressure hits ~30 PSI, the pump shuts off and restarts around 18 PSI. - Efficient Power Consumption
Running at around 4 amps (max), it’s a smart match for RV power systems and solar setups. Users report quiet operation and low draw even under load. - Rugged, Serviceable Build
The die-cast alloy housing, twin ball bearing drive, and replaceable parts make this pump durable and maintainable - store spares instead of swapping the whole unit. - Quiet but Powerful
Rated around 65-70 dB, it’s quiet enough for living spaces when mounted correctly. Many customers note smooth and unobtrusive operation.

Even though our submersible water pump delivered 19 LPM, the Trail King’s consistent pressure felt better across taps and showers.
Common Questions (Q&A)
Q1 : What does "Trail King 30 PSI" mean?
A: It refers to the pressure cutoff where the pump shuts off at ~30 PSI, restarts around 18 PSI. Designed for consistent water pressure without cycling.
Q2 : Can it be run without water?
A: Short dry runs are safe. The pump stops if overloaded or overheated, then resets automatically.
Q3 : What fittings and piping should I use?
A: Use ½″ barbed adapters with reinforced hose, mounted on a firm surface with stainless steel screws. Avoid rigid piping to reduce vibration and maintain warranty. Inline filter is strongly recommended.
Q4 : Does it work with water heaters?
A: Compatible with 20 PSI-rated heaters, but some thermostatic units prefer lower PSI. Ensure pressure matches your heater spec before installation.
Q5 : Is there a 24 V version?
A: Yes - a 24 V ShurfloTrail King water pump delivering the same flow and pressure is available under model 2095-473-143.
