C.A.R.B.

Anyone have updated and valid data on C.A.R.B. restrictions in the Golden State, that they could pass on?*

Thanks.

Yep it's been disbanded due to lack of interest by Californians. Jeey The Gov however does want to bring back the Medfly so the new members of our Licensed society have good jobs and health Insurance.

TomC would probably be your best source on this as he lives in California and sells heavy truck that are affected by CARB rules.

I have at this time received a few emails on it, for some reason a few folks are kind of afraid of posting something here at the Old Shark Tank.  Looks like I can take my no good, oil leaking worn out, oil drippin mosquito killing Detroit out there and will not have to worry about it.

It pays to check now days, in this environmentally conscious society we have progressed to.

Thanks for your input Belfert ...

CARB rules do not affect RV's, only commercial stuff. That's the last word I got, so no worries. When I lived there it was never a problem with my old dinosaur! 

[boxcarOkie]

Yes, this is true, not on an RV.  But things do have a profound tendency to change in our world, so it pays one to check.  Which is NOT always a good fix either.  I had a printed out sheet of the parking instructions in a suburb of Houston Proper where our kids currently live. 

The print out said "RV parking on city streets is restricted to 48 hours" someone didn't like it, called the cops.  At that time, I had documented proof that I had only been in town 16 hours (fuel receipt Flyin Hooker, dated/time stamped) and I handed it to the cop.

After I showed it to "Barney" his reply was .... I don't care, move it or I will have it towed.  Soooooooooooooooo it will work for you or against you. 

Pays to check.

Thank you for your reply.

The excess smoke law still applies to exempt RV's in CA I don't care what state you are from.I saw a old GM being snap tested for smoke last week it had Iowa plates lol it was a smoker.

I know this guy that sell generators CA is after him for the emission on his units they were not the current tier rating for the state

CA just needs electric cars,trucks,and buses anything else they make it almost impossible to meet their laws and requirements   

[TomC]

The original CARB ruling still stands. If you have an individual, private RV, you are exempt from smog laws. I thoroughly research this before I started on my 1985 Kenworth truck project. It is now registered as "MH". As Clifford said, you can still be busted for excessive smoke.
In the 20 years I've had my bus, I have never had to have it inspected or smog tested by California. Curious isn't it?

Good Luck, TomC

And to add to California Smog laws and where it comes from is actually all the Dust from Quartzite this time of year. It drifts into Cali and thus  we had to do something about the haze. What a dry dusty God forsaken place, LOL

What a dry dusty God forsaken place, LOL

Yes, it certainly is. But it is still better than what some of us would be dealing with at home in January!
.....and, Q kind of grows on ya, if you don't mind the dust thing............

Thanks for the information Tom.  Clifford have you been thru some of those immigration check points down there by Phoenix?  They are fun.
