Do the new breed of RVs pass these emissions tests. I am planning on going full time in an RV in the not too distant future and am just a little worried about this issue. Do these bigger petrol engines that have had an LPG conversion adhere to the regulations creeping in and also the big yank diesals how do they fare. I know my 2001 Ford Iveco lorry wouldnt be allowed anywhere near London without me getting a bank loan to get it in and out. How do RVs generally stand bearing in mind that probably all our major cities will eventually bring in charging systems. Would be grateful of some comments on this issue from anybody in the know.

Our old 1988 Coachmen on a Chevy V8 7.4 used to fly through the test on emissions. However, our 1996 Newmar with the Ford V8 7.5 was a little border line on it's VOSA test. They then checked the engine and decided it could be classed as an older model. It then passed. The newer engines should pass OK?

Hope this helps Keith

My bus on LPG run miles cleaner than on petrol as demonstrated to me at the hand over after the LPG was installed and had the same on my 5.7 litre Jeep when it was LPG'd Hope it helps.

What the ###### is this government going to do with Road taxes on our vehicles in the future. Theyre already hitting some 4x4s to the tune of 400 odd quid a year. My old Shogun is still reasonable at �185 and our Bessacarr is still �165 but you can bet your life theyve got their eyes on Motorhomes & RVs along with white van man and commercial road haulage. They aint gonna stop till theyve bled us all dry.

We've been in touch with hydrocharger of bolton and they tell us that you just add extra cannistors for size of engine, electical charge is past through water with some sort of powder the charge makes hydrogen fed via a tube into the air box to make an extra fuel which increases power thus mpg, they say that this works burning the fuel cleaner . Do we think this could be true or just a money making scam???????????
