CARB targets RVs because, despite being only 2% of vehicles, their larger engines contribute disproportionately to emissions. It’s part of their broader effort to reduce overall air pollution.
I think it's not just about the environmental. I think they're clamping down. Because people are beginning to live in these vehicles. Full-time years ago when they were built. It was just recreational use but they now finding out that people are living out of them. So I think that's their basis for it to control the masses of people who found a cheap way to live once more. Can I want people in brick and mortis so they can get that tax money?
You bring up an interesting perspective, there’s definitely a shift in how RVs and vans are being used, moving from recreation to full-time living for many. It’s possible that regulations are influenced by economic factors like tax revenue. Do you think there’s a way to find a balance between affordable living options and government policies?
@rollinwithrver Thanks, my friend for answering that. I appreciate it. I think they can't be your balance. What that balance is. I'm going to show a lot of things about that, but there definitely is a balanced. I think because there's a lot of land out there. Lots of land they said it's not or there is.
Me personally I'll never ever buy electric. Never I refuse to do it. But electric vehicles are coming, but they won't be fully on the road for years to come, so it won't happen in my lifetime. I'm in my 50s now, so I'll be long. Done and gone when these things come.
I understand where you're coming from! It can be tough to embrace new technology, especially when it feels so far off. It's interesting to think about how quickly things can change, though!
Idk where the heck you live homie but I think you’re underestimating the amount of electric vehicles on the road already and how quickly they are taking over.
That's what I said earlier in my earlier comment move to conservative states. That's the best way to do it. Liberal states are ridiculous. It was about more money and taxing. More people cause they think they know best.
With watching this video, it makes me appreciate my beautiful camper man and my camper trailer, which is exempt from this stupid role. I love my camper Van and trailer.😅😅😅
It's going to be failure. That's a failure when they say by 2045. You could not give a date on that that. Don't make sense because we slap billions of cars which run on gas right now, so it's impossible for them to do that. They may push it but not gonna happen before then.
Change is coming. What was the alignment or not? The only thing is they're rushing it. That's not good, but it may be better in the future again. It won't happen, it won't be ready in my lifetime, but it will be ready. Yes, yes, in the future.
Change is always a process, isn’t it? Rushing it can feel unsettling, but perhaps the groundwork being laid now will pave the way for something better down the line. What gives you hope that the future will align as it should, even if not in our lifetime?
Our Electric Power Grid is maxed out in many areas already. With large truck companies and RV companies going into electric recharging where is all this electricity coming from? Major power plants are carbon based right now. There are solar and wind in place but that will not even touch the future energy demand being created with these new laws. These states are putting the cart in front of the horse, that never works. Batteries are becoming lighter and faster to charge and increasing range. But this is all will not be in affect for years. But what will happen right now is put many families out of work. Yet another reason to move out of California or any of these other states demanding these requirements.
You raise an important point about the strain on our electric grid and the challenges of transitioning to a greener future while balancing immediate economic and social impacts. The shift to electric vehicles, including motorhomes, is ambitious but raises questions about whether our current infrastructure can support such rapid change. How can states and industries strike a balance between pushing for innovation and ensuring people aren’t left behind in the process? Do you think there’s a better way to approach this transition, such as focusing on hybrid solutions or gradual timelines? It’s a complex issue that affects not just motorhome owners but entire communities.
actually, motorhomes are ripe to be electric vehicles, since most RV parks have 30 or 50 amp plug ins already. most motorhome travlers drive 350 miles or less in a day, so if they can reach that limit, they should be good.
That’s a great point, beefier frames and making RVs easier to drive could definitely make them more practical and accessible for more people. It’s interesting to think about how changes in RV design might play a role in adapting to things like the motorhome bans happening in certain states. Do you think manufacturers should start making adjustments to meet new regulations, or is there another solution that could help motorhome owners navigate these challenges? I’d love to hear your take!
The problem with this dream of all electric. They're trying to push it too fast. But the technology and everything is not ready yet. That's the problem. It's not ready yet what they think it is. They try to push it. The great electric grilled grid is bad in America. And that leads updated so that by definition, electric cars are not ready, so you're gonna have electric? Oversize R VS stuck in a walk. This is why 2045. It's not gonna happen by then. Maybe 2090 yes, and even then it's not a guarantee and plus they're very, very expensive right now. Could it help you gonna leave? Alternatively, in one of those electric buses, you can have Van payments exceeding public $3000 a month. You wasn't by a house for that.
Pushing technology before the infrastructure is ready can lead to more problems than solutions. The electric grid definitely needs a massive overhaul before widespread EV adoption, especially for larger vehicles like RVs or buses. And you're right, the costs are through the roof right now! Do you think a slower, more balanced transition with options like hybrids or alternative fuels could bridge the gap until the technology and infrastructure catch up?
No! the goal is if your gonna create new RVS u have to have the common sense to make them freakin AFFORDABLE man!! do u guys have any idea how much a full electric RV with a long distance travel battery would freakin COST!! u cant change up what people have been doin since the 1960s and think your gonna make it so we cant afford to do what we have been doing since we were kids i dunno , i cant see my self upgrading to a 40 foot travel trailer or fith wheel , when ive been drivin a 40 foot diesel pusher my whole life. can you!! the scary part is if u already have what 5 states pushin this craziness how long do ya think before the other 45 states follow suit.
These people are insane. When you own a class A for the most part you drive it to a place and park. generally for awhile. On the hole I'll bet some smart person could figure out that probably burn less then the average person going to work.
You make a valid point! Class A motorhomes are often parked for extended periods and likely use less fuel overall compared to daily commuters. The new regulations seem to focus on emissions rather than actual usage patterns, which might not fully reflect the environmental impact of motorhomes. What do you think could be a fairer approach to address this issue?
If they can do that to RVS they should do it to semis too they're allowing semis in their state semi trucks in their state so they can deliver goods but they don't want an RV that is exact same engine as a semi truck in their stupid
You bring up a really interesting point! It does seem inconsistent when semis, which are often larger and heavier, are allowed while RVs face these restrictions. It makes me wonder, do you think the issue is more about the purpose of the vehicle, like commerce versus personal use, or could it be something else entirely? What do you think would be a fair solution to balance the needs of RV owners with the concerns these states might have?
That's definitely an exciting adventure! Moving to a new state can open up so many new opportunities. Have you thought about which state you're considering?
I hear you, there’s a lot of frustration around some of these changes. What specifically about the motorhome regulations do you think is the biggest issue? Do you see a better solution that could work for both RVers and the states?
That’s an interesting point, safety concerns should definitely be a top priority. Do you think the motorhome ban addresses real safety issues, or is it more about other factors? What changes do you think could make motorhome travel safer without banning them outright?
With Trump in power. Now that may change little bit so I tell people to move away from these blue states. Or red states, I don't know which colors the Democrat states. The liberal states that I should say, the liberal states. Cause you're more free in the conservative. States liberal states will give you more and more conditions when you can't live in your campus basically.
so why can richer ppl still fly around in private jets and cruise around in their big yachts.....this is total bs.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It's important to discuss these issues and shed light on the inequalities in our society.
that's easy, because it has nothing to do with emissions and everything to do with control.
Hell yeah it's b.s.
Rvs in Califuckya account for only 2% of all vehicles on the road. Why CARB waisting time on this?
CARB targets RVs because, despite being only 2% of vehicles, their larger engines contribute disproportionately to emissions. It’s part of their broader effort to reduce overall air pollution.
They don't have nothing else to do so they come up with stupid shit like this

California is a liberal state. That's definitely one of the reasons why.
This is all control
Don’t believe the hype
😮😮😮tnx for sharing
Thank you for your kind words! It means a lot to me that you took the time to watch and appreciate the video.
I converted a van into a motorhome class b style
Yes less is better
Minimalist
People better learn to become minimalist like the true indigenous people of this land
Karma came quick
Thank you for sharing that perspective! It’s a powerful reminder of how much we can learn from indigenous practices and their connection to the land.

Thanks for sharing your insight! You're right; with the existing plug-ins at RV parks, it seems like a perfect match for electric vehicles.
I got an idea lets just ride buggys and horse to get to were we need to go or ride a bike or walk to get to were we need to go hmmmm🖕🙄
They could make beefer frames on 2500 or 1500 RVs also more people could drive them because of CDL license
That’s a great point, beefier frames and making RVs easier to drive could definitely make them more practical and accessible for more people.

Hopefully when Trump gets in office, he’ll get rid of some of these regulations.
It's definitely a topic that has a lot of people talking! It will be interesting to see how things unfold when he does get back into office.
He first needs to make good on not taxing my social security income!!!!!!!
This is why I'm glad I have a Van. Or even a class BA class B is basically an extended fan, but it's an R. V.
😮
:)
No! the goal is if your gonna create new RVS u have to have the common sense to make them freakin AFFORDABLE man!!
do u guys have any idea how much a full electric RV with a long distance travel battery would freakin COST!!
u cant change up what people have been doin since the 1960s and think your gonna make it so we cant afford to do what we have been doing since we were kids
i dunno ,
i cant see my self upgrading to a 40 foot travel trailer or fith wheel ,
when ive been drivin a 40 foot diesel pusher my whole life. can you!!
the scary part is if u already have what 5 states pushin this craziness
how long do ya think before the other 45 states follow suit.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! It’s important to voice concerns about affordability in the RV community. Your perspective is truly appreciated!
These people are insane. When you own a class A for the most part you drive it to a place and park. generally for awhile. On the hole I'll bet some smart person could figure out that probably burn less then the average person going to work.

Thousands of jobs and major employers will lose everything with this new law.
It's crazy how these laws can mess with so many people's lives. Fingers crossed for some good changes!
If they can do that to RVS they should do it to semis too they're allowing semis in their state semi trucks in their state so they can deliver goods but they don't want an RV that is exact same engine as a semi truck in their stupid

Buy in other state and move
That's definitely an exciting adventure! Moving to a new state can open up so many new opportunities. Have you thought about which state you're considering?
CA ruins everything. Wish it would go away.
I hear you, there’s a lot of frustration around some of these changes. What specifically about the motorhome regulations do you think is the biggest issue? Do you see a better solution that could work for both RVers and the states?
But we aren't worried about bright highlights that could result in somebody's death
That’s an interesting point, safety concerns should definitely be a top priority. Do you think the motorhome ban addresses real safety issues, or is it more about other factors? What changes do you think could make motorhome travel safer without banning them outright?
@@rollinwithrver its just low hanging fruit, window dressing. Global warming wont go away just because gas and diesel RVs are being phased out
With Trump in power. Now that may change little bit so I tell people to move away from these blue states. Or red states, I don't know which colors the Democrat states. The liberal states that I should say, the liberal states. Cause you're more free in the conservative.

I converted a van into a motorhome class b style
Yes less is better
Minimalist
That’s amazing! Class B motorhomes are perfect for minimalists. What’s your favorite feature in your van conversion? 🚐✨
