CARB smog testing motorhomes Every 4months by 2024

Follow the money. It's better to collect a fee four times a year than once. Emission testing has out lived it's usefulness. Az. has a standard that you pass if tested below 40. Attendants could never tell me what the 40 meant. MY Powerstroke tests between .2 and 1.5 for 22 years at $25.00 a year. One emission tech thanked me for letting him rip me off. He had no answer when I ask when was the last diesel didn't pass.
It's not government pulling all the polluters off the road it's manufacturers building more efficient vehicles. The consumer wants good fuel mileage & power resulting in cleaner burning. They have four cylinder cars doing what it took eight to do. They do a better job with half the pollution. A vehicle isn't going to start polluting within a few months without showing some kind of malfunction that an owner is going to fix without government hassling him..Only in California... Just an opinion..

Plated BVWR is 14000.

Actual weight will not matter. Plated GVWR will be in the requirements.

It only affects motorhomes that have a GVWR of over 14,000lbs.

Which is 100% of class A's, and every class C over @ 24'.

Gee whiz, I'll have to cut 4 feet 5 inches off my class c which fully loaded comes in at 13,750 lbs. I had at that time 7 group 29 batteries.

All tanks were full--and the unit was ordered with two fresh water tanks.

In reading further into it it seems to be only for diesels.

It seems the goal is to make having a motorhome, especially an older one, as big of a pain in the arse as possible instead of outright banning them, with the hope you give up. You can bet the day is coming for outright bans, and its coming for what could be considered a medium or heavy duty pickup truck someday also. No one needs any of these fuel guzzling heavy vehicles. They'll dictate what you own/drive because they know better.

Pretty simple for most of the country just don’t spend your money in CA and just bypass the state. I know I will be doing that.

You know that there is an old sled dog saying…. “If you’re not the lead dog, the view never changes”.

How’s the view back there ;)

4 times a year for an RV. Really? It matters not that it's a five minute or 50 minute inspection, Im sure you guys will be charged an arm and a leg, and every three months for an RV is noting more than pure harassment as PButler says.

I'm sure at some point, they will have the OBD tied into your cell phone and it will send a continuous stream of data. Of course, that will give them access to all kinds of data to use against you.

I'm sure at least some folks in northern Calicrazy store their rigs for the winter...so will they have to pull them out of storage burn 5-10 gallons of fuel to get them to a test station, so they can be tested to stay current?
