Right around 12:34 in the video he mentions Montana (and possibly others) clamping down on LLC and presumably 15 501 c3 tax exempts who use that
in order to write off the cost of such large RV's. I figure that will dampen the sales of many RV's.
In the past anyone could visit the "Universal Life Church" on line and within five minutes become an ordained minister for free. Then they could buy a big RV and use their family (as secretary & treasurer) where they were the executive officer and conform to the requirements of a not for profit and enjoy the RV life in a big RV.
I'm wondering what this will do to the National Parks when the census of users falls off ? Will the timber industry want to come in and clear crop sections of the park ? This happened in the early 1980's when James G. Watt the Secretary of the Interior wanted to promote this.

In the trucking business, we have had "Certified Clean Idle" technology for many years, meaning, the emissions controls and DPF filters on the newer Class 8 trucks are able to scrub the exhaust to the point that in the LA basin, where air pollution can be thick under certain conditions, the air coming OUT of the exhaust was cleaner than the 'fresh air' going into the engine air intake.
That's not the case in a cleaner environment, but it occurred in the more smog prone areas.
These new heavy duty diesel engines are very clean...in fact, the little APU engine (on-board generator) puts out more pollutants than the main engine does, per hour of operation.
The CARB standards have gotten very tight the last 10-15 years and it's not getting any better for petroleum burning engines there.

It’s just the big Class A’s isn’t it? 5 miles /gallon rigs? Polluting the universe? And that’s not counting the Toad.
Past due for them hi $$$ peeps to downsize. They can get a compact EV or a bicycle and Walmart tents are cheap. Better yet a Lowe’s camo tarp.
Yep; lose the deesul pushers & Freeze dried food, too for em. Most of them could go a month without eating would do them good.
Walk, back pak & a tarp: back to the basix
sayin
bch bum jon

My 1 ton 5.9 12 valve Cummins/Dodge 4x4 truck got 24 mpg & even got just over 20 mpg towing/hauling 20,000# of equipment from Dayton with the OD off.
The pre-emissions diesels got much better fuel mileage. The newer ones with all the crap added...not so much.
This is yet another loss of your freedoms in this country. With their ready/ shoot/ aim mentality, they will quickly ruin the states even more.
CALIF CARB just passed a measure at 10PM on a Friday night to raise the already high gas prices by another $.65 per gallon on top of the $1.38 taxes they have in place.
You may not want or need a motor home like this but maybe someone else might but now can't. CA keeps digging a hole which is now a huge sink hole financially and losing tax payers every day. I've lived here all my life and my kids are close by with grand kids ( one due tomorrow) so unfortunately I choose to stay here, family over madness, but we would leave today if we could....This state is a mess..

He did not say Montana is cracking down on LLCs, he only said other states try to crack down on Montana LLC route. Montana loves LLCs.
