Since when did politicians do the work of the people anymore? They get paid by the corporations not the people. That money just goes into their pockets...

So with that thinking maybe they want all those Diesels that won't pass to go buy new ones so they make the money on them and sell many more new RV's?

The comment was about special interests groups watching out for the interests of RVers such as the RVIA, RVxyz, not the government agencies. That is how RV diesel pushers got added to the exemption list. now back to regular programming.

It said they would exempt class C RV's but most Bus Conversions are class A diesel pushers so that make more problems. FMCA and Escapees more than likely will get into this one and the politics of it to try and throw their weight into it too.

From One page back Hello?

You not going get any help from FMCA they are to big in travel trailers now and the Escapees are mostly a full time group, to me camp ground owners are the best bet since they pay big dollars in taxes in CA

OK, I get the point is the specific class as in "C". I'll follow up and reply here with her response.

I'd be surprised if anything in the actual law specifies a class of motor homes, as in "Class C" since in most states there is nothing that legally separates a "Class C" motorhome from a "Class A" motor home.

Weight rating is a different story, as the registration shows that. Class? Not so much.

If I had a way to ask questions of someone official, it would be if the mention of "Class C" was just his way of trying to explain it or if it was referencing something actually in the bill.

Just sold my 1991 XL to a Fella outside Sacramento Cal. 2 weeks ago. He didn't have any problem getting it home from Texas where He flew in and picked it up. Of course mine didn't have a oil leak or smudge anywhere on the engine. Pretty clean with no smokie. Hope He'll be okay as he was a nice Gent.

You have the super "C" to Don they are all forward diesel engines built on truck chassis ,some states issue 2 titles for those like "toy hauler or Super "C "RV

Well I don't know about the rest of you'all but I think we will Just junk our Bus because of this maybe law down the road by this group of Political ne'er-do-wells stretching their importance which isn't much. Anyone want to buy it for $350,000.00. has good tires only 7 years on them and 10K miles, I think it was rebuilt according to the guy we bought it from 12 years ago but no paperwork or some but you can't read it because of water damage to the paper. Ran the last time we drove it to the field too.

I wouldn't worry to much CARB changes from day to day .A guy here that owns a rock quarry had 5 loaders with 2 strokes CARB told him he could only have 1 in the fleet he is still running the 4 and 6-71 2 strokes

Here is the reply from CARB.

Quote[/size]Hi Don: I made a typo; I meant class A. I was trying to be clear and ended up not providing clarity at all! And you are correct that in our draft regulation text the legal distinction will be non-gasoline over 14,000 lbs. gross vehicle weight rating. We currently don't reference Class A for motorhomes. I hope that helps and I apologize for the confusion.
Best regards,
Krista Fregoso

Dave5Cs · June 08, 2021, 07:45:51 PM

Again we are not Class A like Richard said these classes are for selling SS RV's and we are Bus conversion Diesel Pushers......

And by the time that starts or before we will be registered in another state, LOL

richard5933 · June 08, 2021, 08:07:49 PM

Pretty much what I thought. It would make no sense for the law (or the exemptions) to mention any particular class of RV since that is not a legal definition.

This is what happens when people with little to no true understanding of an issue are put in charge of writing regs about it.

Think I might just register my '96 as an Historic Vehicle.
