Why Happy Camper Won't Ship to California: A Tale of Woe and Regulations
So, you're a Californian, eh? You've got sunshine, beaches, and apparently, a really strict government. You're probably wondering why you can't get your hands on that magical Happy Camper stuff that everyone else is raving about. Well, buckle up, because this is a story of regulations, frustration, and a touch of envy.
The Golden State, the Silver Lining, and the Tank Treatment Blues
California, the land of dreams and avocado toast, has also become the land of extremely specific regulations. And unfortunately for us Happy Camper folks, those regulations have thrown a wrench in our shipping plans. It's like trying to take a surfboard to the moon – possible, but a whole lot of hassle.
You see, California has this thing called SB-317. It's a law that bans certain chemicals in RV holding tank treatments. Now, our Happy Camper is a pretty darn good product, but it just so happens to contain one of those naughty chemicals. It's like being grounded for eating the last cookie when you were just trying to be helpful.
We Tried, We Really Did
Before you start sharpening your pitchforks and lighting torches, hear us out. We didn't want to exclude California. We love our California campers! But the reality is that complying with SB-317 would mean reformulating our entire product. And let's be honest, who wants to mess with a perfectly good thing?
We could have spent a fortune on legal fees and product development, but at the end of the day, we decided to cut our losses and focus on the states where we can actually sell our stuff. It's like breaking up with someone because they're allergic to your cat – it's painful, but it's for the best.
The Silver Lining (Really!)
Okay, so we can't ship to California. But hey, at least you guys have great weather and avocados. And on a more serious note, this whole situation has forced us to innovate and come up with even better products for the rest of the country. So, in a way, you can thank California for making us better.
So, what can you do? Well, you could try making your own RV tank treatment. Or you could move. Just kidding (kind of). Until California loosens up those regulations, you're stuck with whatever subpar options you can find. Our hearts go out to you.
