Will many RVs effectively be banned in New York starting in 2025?

Will many RVs effectively be banned in New York starting in 2025?

New York’s RV community faces an uncertain road ahead. Starting January 1, 2025, the state plans to introduce strict new emissions regulations that could significantly impact the sale of gas and diesel-powered RVs. The implications are causing a stir among RV enthusiasts and retailers, as the state’s decision to adopt California’s Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) rule will require 35% of new heavy-duty vehicles sold to be zero-emission. This ambitious policy has left many wondering if it spells the end of traditional RVs in New York.

To clarify: Are RVs and motorhomes being outright banned? The answer is no—at least not directly. The regulations target heavy-duty vehicles broadly, and while RVs are not specifically singled out, many fall into the affected category of vehicles with a gross weight of over 8,500 pounds. Since zero-emission RVs are not widely available, this policy effectively limits options for purchasing new gas or diesel models in the state as of 2025. Existing owners will still be able to operate and sell their vehicles, but without zero-emission RVs available to offset the 35% quota, the retail market may shrink for conventional RVs in New York, making it harder for buyers to find what they want.

Additionally, buying an RV out of state and bringing it into New York could prove difficult due to stringent emissions testing and registration requirements.

Since the new regulations were introduced, the RV Industry Association has been meeting frequently with government agencies to pursue an exemption, but so far have been left idling.
