Chuck Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 As I am working diligently to get out of California and take my pre-DPF and DEF HDT out of here, will there be a day when I will not be permitted to come back. I know that OTR truckers with pre-emission have had to get permits for a specific time frame to operate in Cali. Just stirring it up? Lol. What say all?

Chad Heiser Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 If you get registered as an RV then the answer is no.

jenandjon Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 I have been wanting to ask a question like that. If I can take my pre emissions truck there if its registered as a Motor Home. I want to plan a trip out to CA. I have been there many times as a long haul trucker. I love it there. I hate the crazy laws and politics but the place is really beautiful. My truck is 03 pre emissions. Blows a little black smoke when I get on it. I told my wife we might have to drive at night only and keep my foot out of it going through the gears.

Steve from SoCal Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 Crazy as the Pols are in California, tourism is a huge industry. In real numbers there just isn't enough big RV's to worry about. They may be crazy, they are not stupid.

If they have the time to go after cow farts and straws, there could be a time when our old diesels will not be welcome. You mention tourism. The threat of lost tourism has not stopped the crazies in SF. Soon as the house sells, see ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve from SoCal Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 Chuck, I agree about insane rules, however tourism is a major lobby in the state as well. The other thing is they can regulate stuff inside the state, feel good legislation. There may be a day when old RV's are not welcome, personally it just doesn't seem to be a major source of contention. RV's are exempt from CARB mandates could that change, yes, will it not likely.
