The meddlesome Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) now wants to target light-duty and medium-duty vehicles (which would include motorhomes) with new strict regulations. Naturally, the clowns of the Biden Administration are in charge of the EPA, so this really shouldn't come as a surprise.
The Recreational Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA) is steadfastly in opposition to these proposed regulations.
From RV Travel:
The RV Industry Association (RVIA) has sent comments to the EPA in reaction to the agency’s proposed stricter emissions standards for light-duty and medium-duty vehicles from 2027 to 2032. The comments expressed opposition to these new regulations. RVIA seeks an exemption for motorhomes from the medium-duty vehicle standards, contending that motorhomes are not well-suited for electrification and that the proposed rule would significantly constrain their use and affordability.
The proposed EPA emissions standards, aimed at fostering the growth of the electric vehicle market and significantly reducing carbon emissions, have been touted as the strictest ever. However, the RVIA points out that implementing these rules would negatively impact the motorhome industry, which, in turn, would have a detrimental effect on manufacturers, dealers, employees, and RV buyers. Installing batteries in motorhomes would infringe on space and add unnecessary weight, thereby affecting the components typically found in a motorhome.
