You won’t believe this: starting January 1, 2025, new motorhomes will be banned in several states, all in the name of an extreme environmental agenda. California, Oregon, Washington, New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts are set to enforce regulations that will drastically limit the sale of new motorhomes with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) over 8,500 pounds.
The reason behind this shift? The Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) regulation, which requires vehicle manufacturers to progressively sell a larger percentage of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs). While the rule does not outright ban motorhomes, it effectively makes the sale of new traditional motorhomes with internal combustion engines unfeasible, as manufacturers are forced to pivot toward electric vehicles to meet the ZEV sales targets.
These new rules are part of a broader push to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality. The ACT regulation, adopted by these six states, aims to accelerate the transition from gas-powered vehicles to electric alternatives. As the regulation impacts medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, motorhome manufacturers are left with no choice but to cut back on the production of traditional motorhomes to comply with these stricter emissions standards.
The affected states have adopted California’s stricter environmental policies, making it clear that the future of motorhome sales in these areas will be driven by electric alternatives. With the 2025 deadline approaching, the industry is gearing up for a significant shift, leaving potential buyers with limited options unless the market adapts to electric models in the coming years.
