2018 VIN?
I ordered a 2017 Salem Cruise Lite 273QBXL in early January. We received the VIN from our dealer and the unit is expected to be finished in early March. While I was decoding the VIN, I noticed the year digit was "J" instead of "H", meaning a 2018 unit. Is this common?
VIN : 4X4TSMC28J7413956

Will it have different features unique to 2018 or is it being built to the 2017 model as we ordered?

Your 2018 might have some new features that the 2017 didn’t have. You won’t know until you get the unit. The major changes for many 2018 brands will usually be made mid-summer of the 2018 model year.
I took delivery of my 2013 Silverback 29RL in March of 2012. Unbeknownst to me Cedar Creek quit making that floorplan so I have one of the few (maybe the only) 2013 29RL models. I’m sure when I trade in my Silverback the dealer will have to offer me a trade-in value based on a 29RE (Rear Entertainment) instead of the RL (Rear Lounge). Ya never know what you’re gonna get when you order an RV.

When I ordered my 2016 in January and received it at the end of March the title said 2017. It was exactly like the 2016 model I ordered to the T.

If anyone wants to know what all the characters in that VIN (or yours) correlate to, you can download this file we have in the library here on the forums that hbillsmith posted recently. This will be for towables, truck campers, and park models.

Are the unit identifier numbers based on the total number of units produced or is it the total of that brand (eg cedar creek or Sierra) or the total from that factory?
