You should investigate the requirements and restrictions if you were to register your motor home as an antique.
That WOULD most likely make the vehicle as designed IMPOSSIBLE to use for its intended purpose of camping.
Antique plates in many states WILL add considerable usage restrictions like a max mileage per yr, no or limited operation at night, only one day per week usage, only allowed to be driven to and from car shows or events, ect.
I suspect the DMV most likely would not accept a motorhome for antique plates..
OP simply needs to find a good quality old school mechanic with some diagnostic equipment to measure CO2 while making carb adjustments.. It should be do able but finding a mechanic now days that doesn't need to plug into OBD ports to fix things is getting to be very rare..
Not sure why the OP hasn't been against this wall before.. New in the state?
For all the hassle in such an old MH, perhaps it's time to move on?
After all, we ARE talking about a 40 yr old vehicle, with 40 yr old emission technology which was totally experimental back then.
Something newer will have considerably more powerful engines with fuel injection much improved emission systems and so on..
