We are thinking of renting a Class B for a month long California trip next year vs. taking our TT from Atlanta……. The point of this is about spending a month RVing to see the parts of California didn’t see living in LA/Orange County for 10 years (plus many other trips back over the years)...

We plan to start back to CA from WI next July. Not in a hurry. Here are the routes . . .

OMG what is going wrong in California !! Are they saving humanity or just making money at all we RV owners expense. What’s your position on this new California AQMD ruling.

Julie just told me this is our chore to get done at lunch today. These are required when camping in California and the video gives good information it never hurts to refresh. The permit is free and covers campfires, outdoor stoves and other types of flammable devices used outdoor. They’re...

My partner and I are Dutch travelers who spent the past months exploring the U.S. in a 2024 Cirrus 820 on our 2015 F-350 (also for sale, $30k). We’re now wrapping up the trip and heading back to Europe, so the camper needs to remain stateside. It has been completely reliable for us—clean, dry...

I have a 1997 gulf Stream with Spartan chassis and 5.9 Cummins Diesel. Ca. has passed new emissions control measures and there is no "Grandfathering" of older models to avoid this police state. My coach failed the "smoke" test. thus no approval for road use. I hired an independent tester for...

My rig is in the shop - not dealer - getting a couple of things fixed so it will pass smog. I live in CA so must get smog check every two years. The mechanic - who I trust and respect - suggests I should us premium gas in the V10. He says "the V10 likes it better than regular." A couple of...

Do yall know of any boondocking or lotdocking places going up central California from Bakersfield to Fresno, Modesto, Sacramento, Oroville, Redding and Yreka?

Hello! Recently purchased an Escape (2017) 17B in CO. I live in Southern CA and returned a few days ago. Registered yesterday at AAA -Laguna Hills - totally easier than DMV. Nice trip back with no issues. Perfect size for one person and a dog!

Now local (Carmichael) California DMV is requiring a Motor Vehicle Bond through an insurance company ($$$) to get the trailer registered... mind you, I started this very LOOONNGG process in January and at that time they only asked for a bill of sale from Escape. Feels like whack-a-mole...

This will be our third season in Quartzsite. The new part is traveling through California to get there. We are pulling a 35' camper with a RAM 2500. Can someone recommend a route through California, down to I-40 that gets to Quartzsite the fastest? Would prefer to avoid Nevada on the way South...

Calif DMV has new policy requiring a CHP VIN# verification before completing the registration process on all vehicles of foreign origin. CHP is not apparently aware or onboard with this. I'm in limbo now and have waited a week for a call from CHP just to make an appointment. In the meantime, Im...

Hi All, I purchased a Bigfoot! It has to be shipped from Olalla Washington to Northern California. Does anyone have recommendations for this? I am getting quotes from Uship but I can't see the actual reviews or talk directly to the provider which is lame, in my opinion. Any advice is welcome.

Planning next summer's trip to some of the California National Parks, plan to stop @ Sequoia National Park / Yosemite National Park / Redwood National and State Park. Should I plan on using a tour service for seeing the parks & if so which tour service for each, I have checked google & see there...

Anyone take their rig into Yosemite via Hwy 49 out of Oakhurst? My RV Life trip planner is sending me that way, for some reason.

Hi. Sorry if this has been covered a 100 times, but I can’t find completely clear info. We are looking to buy a second hand motorhome under 30’ for a few years of travel. We will mostly be on the west coast and visiting national parks. In terms of the new rules in California and some other...

Hi Friends: Asking for some confirmation on this route as it is new to us. I feel pretty confident based on internet searches, but would appreciate some additional input. We're coming over to 101 in Crescent City via HWY 199 Grants Pass. We've driven the pass before, but made a right turn to go...

Is there anyone on this forum who has knowledge of the periodic motor vehicle inspection laws for passenger cars? Specifically bringing a vehicle into California which has Federal Emission certification ( 49 state) but not California Emission certification and the vehicle owner is moving to...

I just finished a multi-day trip down I-5 from the Oregon Border to LA in a 40-foot DP. We traveled every bit of the highway except between the I-505 cutoff to the CA-12 merge just north of Stockton. Basically, we skipped Sacramento. Coming out of the mountains, there were several steep...
