California is set to begin emission testing for "large" diesel motorhomes by July 2023. What's large? Any RV witjh a GVWR of 14,000 lbs or more, which includes almost all Class A and Class C motorhomes, burning any fuel other than gasoline. Basically they're extending the commercial truck testing requirements that begin on that date to RVs. All resident RVs will have to be tested annually, non-resident RVs may be exempt if they're strictly for personal use, otherwise their owners will have the opportunity to open an account with the state to certify their RVs meet the state's emission requirements. It's not clear yet if this will require RVs to stop at a Port of Entry apon entering the state to check the paperwork and/or have an inspection or test performed like commercial trucks do.
