Chad Heiser Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 CA Carb specifically exempts RV’s. If your HDT is registered as an RV, you are exempt and will have no problem. CA Carb also specifically exempts tow vehicles used solely to tow an RV, so if you are registered as a private truck you are also exempt while towing the 5er (or travel trailer). The only possible hiccup is if you are registered as a private truck and use It bobtail as a daily driver. There is no exemption for this.

Then you should have no problem. I have a 2000 T2000 registered in CA as a motorhome and have never gotten a second look towing all over the state. I’ve never gotten a second look running bobtail either, but I don’t do that as often.

Twotoes Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 Just remember in CA if you are towing anything the speed limit is 55 MPH.
