We have emission testing here, but a class c might be over the maximum weight required to be tested. I was concerned about more maintenance, poor performance, or fuel mileage because of the smog equipment, but it sounds like it may be a non issue. We are taking a vacation to southern California later this month and there are a couple rv's I want to look at. I feel better about it now. Thanks for your comments.
Maybe a super C would be non smog but if it has a gasoline engine California wants it smogged. My diesel pick up has to be smogged now but all they do is a visual and plug into the computer. As far as "chipping" or modifying for performance my best advice is don't. Class C's get 8MPG. Sometimes 9 sometimes 5 . If MPG is a concern then rent a room and drive a prius.
