Motorhomes Still Considered Vocational Vehicles by EPA

In good news for the RV industry, it was announced that heavy-duty motorhomes will continue to be treated as custom chassis vocational vehicles, a previous victory secured by the RV Industry Association’s (RVIA) government affairs team,?according to an RVIA?News & Insights?report.
Being considered a vocational vehicle means the standards are easier to meet. Specifically, heavy-duty motorhomes will be required to meet a standard of 226 grams/ton-mile through model year 2032, a very slight decrease from the current standard of 228 g/ton-mile.
