RV Sales To Be Banned Across Six States As California Climate Rules Take Effect

Diesel motorhome sales are set to be halted in several states at the start of next year due to a new climate rule from California being enacted, according to RVtravel.

Motorhome sales are being prevented in California, Washington, Oregon, New York, Massachusetts and New Jersey if the vehicles do not meet certain emission requirements based on regulations from the California Air Resources Board (CARB), according to RVtravel. CARB amended its Advanced Clean Truck regulations on Oct. 24, which require all vehicles over 8,500 pounds to produce zero emissions.

These states all link together, so, since the People’s Republik Of California essentially banned the sale of diesel motorhomes unless they sell enough other compliant vehicles to comply with the arcane rules, the other states do the same. But, hey, don’t think you can just buy one in another state

(RV Travel) DeMartini is quick to point out that California residents who think they can do an end-run around the new California motorhome rule should think twice. Leave the state, buy the motorhome of your choice, and bring it back to California—hit a brick wall. California residents will NOT be allowed to register their rig if it doesn’t meet the ACT regulations. The same may be true in the other five states. DeMartini said dealers in Washington state are working to get an exemption for RVs under Washington’s law, but it remains to be seen whether that will happen.

Got all that? An un-elected board of bureaucrats in California decided they do not like diesel motorhomes, hence, people in 6 states won’t be able to buy or register them. Companies which make them will lose money, dealers which sell them will lose money, and US citizens who want them won’t be able to buy them.
