Portable Gas Generator BAN
Portable Gas Generator Ban has passed in California.
Will it be illegal to run your portable generator at a campsite? Will you be able to own a portable generator at your place of residence? The California Air Resource Board (CARB) was considering a regulation to ban small off-road engines, which included portable gas generators used by RVs (recreational vehicles).
California became the first state to outlaw the sale of single-engine off-road equipment (SORE). This law included lawnmowers and leaf blowers.
How does it affect portable generators? Any gas-powered generator under 25 horsepower, which is most portable generators, will be part of the ban.
This does not affect stationary generators.
You may use a generator during a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS).
Permits may be required to allow you to use a back-up generator. Again, CARB regulations allows you use a generator during PSPS. The proposed law to ban portable gas-powered engines has passed in California. This will affect portable gas generators in 2028. It seems to ban the sale of portable gas generators and finally the use of portable generators in 2028.
The intention would indicate that ZEE generators (with zero emissions equipment) would replace portable gas generators. Many RVers rely on portable gas generators to boondock. They use them when a hook-up is not available. Also, portable generators have served a crucial role during natural disasters and major power outages.
This post will be updated to any changes or any exemptions that may occur.
Thank you for reading this blog, I hope you will share it.

So far this law will affect:
- lawnmowers
- weed trimmers
- chainsaws
- golf carts
- specialty vehicles
- generators
- pumps
What is does not affect:
- on road motor vehicles
- off road motorcycles
- all-terrain vehicles (ATVs)
- boats
- snowmobiles
- model airplanes, car or boats (I believe RC hobby)
The goal is to transition to 100 percent zero-emission off-road vehicles and equipment by 2035.

Preparing an alternate shelter
Preparing an alternate shelter in case of a natural disaster.
Remember the power outage in the state of Texas. Many were taken by surprise. No water, no power, which meant no heat.
Short List
You would do well to have 3 days of water and food.
blankets and a change of clothes.
flashlight and batteries.
This is the short list.
The long list takes more effort.
One thing to consider is wood. I found a place that provides free wood. This could heat a house with a fire place. If not maybe a propane heater. I remember people not being able to keep warm in the snow. This website shows how to build your own solar generator which can provide power to run appliances. These are ideas you can think about and implement.
Even having a first aid kit with MRE’s is a way to prepare.
A serious prep would be a 2 week of food and water. Flashlights and batteries. A go bag with phone numbers and medicine and a few days clothes.
