No Spartan Dutch Star in California for 2025

Currently the inspection stations at the state lines are unmanned so I can’t see this happening but you never know in CA.

From my experience in the automotive industry I remember when the California Emissions standards stared. California car dealers could only sell California cars. Several years later the industry switched to California Emissions standards for most of the cars and trucks built and sold in the US. One because of the “cleanest” standards but more so so manufactures could more freely distribute inventory. California sold a lot of cars!

I can see this heading to where California RV dealers can only sell California certified RVs
I don’t see CA not letting out of state RVs to visit. When I lived in CA I had to get my 2021 Ford F250 Diesel inspected every two years. I do see this passing over to California Diesel RVs

Also there will probably be restrictions that keep people from purchasing new out of state RVs and then bringing them in to CA for registration. Possibly years plus minimum mileage
But what do I know, should be interesting to watch

I would never do it but I see it as a reason for California residents to start a Montana LLC.......

over $45K

No I do not have that invested in my entire BaRTH, even with heated floor upgrade. Chassis came from Gillig in Hayward, California.

There’s a reason Tom Lindstrom closed his dealership. He must have seen this coming and said no thanks.

Yet DeMartini is advertising a 2025 King Aire on their website - not on their lot so we’ll see what happens. Also it would be interesting to see if there is really any difference in Ca emissions or if the $13k just buys you the “right” to register one in Ca.

My post was Dutch Star only, I’m not sure how this effects all of the model lines
The CA emissions certification doesn’t imply any value, it a government regulation.
