A post shared on Facebook claims six states, including California, are banning the sale of recreational vehicles (RVs).

Verdict: False

Verify This reported the claim was false on Dec. 4. According to the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association, a regulation stemming from California that has been adopted by five other states calls for the sale of more zero-emission vehicles but does not ban RVs.

Fact Check:

The San Jose Police Department recently arrested an individual who was selling drugs out of an abandoned RV, according to local outlet KRON 4. The unnamed individual was on probation and had been selling drugs out of the RV, which did not have a license plate or clear vehicle identification number, the outlet reported.

The Facebook post claims six states, including California, are banning the sale of RVs.

“These 6 States will be banning [the] purchase of RV’s starting in less than 6 weeks,” the post begins, naming California, New York, Oregon, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Washington as the states where the purported ban will take effect.

The post includes a photo of an RV with the word “BANNED” stamped across it in red text.

The claim is false. Check Your Fact did not find the claim referenced via the RVIA’s website or its associated social media accounts. Likewise, neither President Joe Biden nor the White House appears to have publicly commented on the claim regarding the purported vehicle ban. In addition, President-Elect Donald Trump has not expressed any plans to ban RVs once he begins his second term in office. (RELATED: No, Mike Pence Was Not Arrested By Special Forces)

In addition, Check Your Fact found no credible news reports to support the claim. Actually, the opposite is true. On Dec. 4, VERIFY debunked the claim. According to the outlet, the claim stems from California’s Advanced Clean Truck regulation, “which requires manufacturers to sell an increasing percentage of zero-emission vehicles over the next ten years.”

Besides California, New York, Oregon, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Washington are also adopting the regulation, Verify This reported, citing the RVIA.

The RVIA reiterated that the regulation does not ban RVs in a recent statement shared via its website.

“While the regulation does not specifically ban motorhome sales, the ACT regulation mandates manufacturers of medium and heavy-duty vehicles to sell an increasing percentage of ZEVs each year,” the statement reads in part.
