Results for "diesel registration"

Pulled into three dealerships expecting to find a decent used Class A diesel motorhome within budget, but they're all quoting me $20K+ over what I can afford. When during the year do dealers typically have the best deals and inventory turnover?

Also curious about when to avoid shopping due to high demand and higher prices. Any insights on seasonal buying patterns would be helpful. …more

Pulled into a weigh station yesterday and discovered my Class A diesel motorhome needs a CARB Clean Truck Check account that I completely missed setting up. I can create the account and get through email verification, but then the account shows as invalid and won't let me add my RV or pay the required $30 fee.

I've watched all their instructional videos and followed the steps, but the system keeps rejecting my account. Phone support just directs me to send an email, and I've sent several without response.

Is this a known system glitch? Are other RV owners running into this same problem with accounts becoming invalid right after verification? Need to get this sorted before the 12/31/2023 deadline when registration will be blocked.

Spent the last week trying to decide between a rebuild, remanufactured, or used engine for my Class A motorhome that now sounds worse than nails on a chalkboard. There's a lovely hole where there shouldn't be one (in the piston, not my ego... that's been full of holes for years).

So here I am, living the RV dream with what sounds like a mechanical maraca under the hood. Is engine replacement even worth considering, or should I start shopping for a really expensive lawn ornament? What are my options and what kind of financial damage am I looking at? I need to know if I should fix this beast or start planning its funeral.

Could you share more details about the specific vehicle (year/make/model and engine type) to help diagnose the extent of the damage? …more
