Reports circulating online claim that eleven states are banning the sale of RVs in 2025 due to regulations on vehicle emissions.

These claims stem from California's Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) regulation, which aims to increase the percentage of zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) sales for medium and heavy-duty vehicles.

Impact on RV Sales: While the regulation doesn't directly ban RVs, it impacts the sale of new gas-
and diesel-powered motorhomes exceeding 8,500 pounds gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR), according to the RVIA.

Since suitable zero-emission chassis for motorhomes are not currently widely available, manufacturers are limiting their sales in affected states.

States Involved: Besides California, states adopting the ACT regulation include Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, and Washington, with their rules taking effect in 2025.

Vermont will follow in 2026, and Colorado, Maryland, New Mexico, and Rhode Island in 2027.

Not a Complete Ban:

It's important to note that the regulations do not ban the purchase of new RVs altogether, nor do they affect the sale of used RVs with more than 7,500 miles on the odometer.

Buyers can also consider purchasing out-of-state, but should be aware of registration rules.

Industry Response: The RV industry is advocating for exemptions or delays in the implementation of these regulations, citing concerns about costs and availability for consumers.

https://rumble.com/v6xd12q-what-theyre-hiding-in-the-new-housing-crackdown.html

Everyone deserves a home.
They make it illegal for you to go into the forest and try and provide for yourself.
They even tax your home so you never really own it Gotta burry a body on that property!
Then there's the hoa, the rules and ordnances telling you what you can do on your property America sold us a lie the homestead act just allowed the government to take our land to be controlled by the blm bureau of land management and the forestry department.
They don't even take care of the forests how they should making them dangerous to homes in the surrounding areas which we have been experiencing like paradise CA.

WE EXPERIENCED THE FORCE THE GOVERNMENT COULD IMPOSE ON US ALL IN THE NAME OF PUBLIC SAFTEY SO CALLED CONVID!! ESPECIALLY NOW THEY HAVE PASSED THE PLANDEMIC TREATY..

This is ALL of our problem!! Freedom isn't free!!
This is part of the Great reset you will own nothing and be happy they are trying to push us to the point where we beg for their help!!
it will all be control.
This will eventually effect us all Do you really think your home isn't at risk?
What if you lose your home like the housing crash in 2008 something far worse is coming think Cuba or Venezuela they used to be successful until America stepped in to "help"

Like back in the day where they did horrific experiments on those poor people in facilities in the early 1900's.

California and the five other states that have signed on to the same clean air regulations haven’t made a secret of this at all.

The Advanced Clean Truck Regulation has been out there for over a year now.

The other states that have adopted it are Oregon, Washington, Massachusetts, New York, and New Jersey.

California and five other states have a controversial regulation in place that will effectively ban the sale of most large motorhomes starting January 1, 2025.

How could this happen?

The RV Industry is reeling this week as California and five other clean air states are about to ban the sale of motorhomes with a gross vehicle weight (GVWR) of over 8,500 pounds.

This includes most motorhomes.

The average weight range for a Class C RV is 10,000–12,000 lbs.

The range for a Super C Motorhome is 19,500 lbs and up

The average GVWR of a Class A motorhome typically ranges from 13,000 to 30,000 lbs

Class B motorhomes – campervans – typically weigh 6,000- 8,000 pounds GVWR and thus won't be affected.

This ban affecting the larger motorhomes will be effective Jan 1, 2025, and it’s a story that has caught everyone by surprise. It came to widespread attention just a few days ago when a letter sent by Newmar RV to its dealers in the affected states came to light, telling them of the coming sales ban.

Now the reason this has shocked the industry is because, frankly, the industry really expected an exemption from a program that seems aimed at big diesel trucks that are driven around the clock, not low mileage recreation vehicles that typically drive 3,000-5,000 miles a year.

Their reasoning is sound. It seems pretty cut and dry.

But several industry leaders he talked to in preparing this special report felt much more should have been done and that perhaps there was a complacency and lack of urgency in dealing with this.
