Difference between a 96 and a 97

I just bought a Ford Cruise Master 33' Motorhome with a V-10 in it. It has only 28500 miles on the clock. However, when I handed the money over and received the title I noticed later that it was "YR MODEL 1996 YR 1ST SOLD 1996" Now before I go do some research, is there much or any difference between a 1996 and a 1997? The unit is extremely clean inside but has sun cracks in the exterior paint, which is normal for this year, and some clearcoat peeling, which is also indicative of age and being parked in the sun. I have contacted the seller who seems to be a pretty honest guy. I told him in the text that I was gonna research the difference. I thought maybe I would come here first for help.
Thank you

EDIT: I was told it was a 1997. Plus on the ad it stated it was a 1997.

Didn't know there was a CLASS A about of those vintages that had a V10. Not gonna be much difference in those two years, either way, IMO, but you might threaten false advertising and demand a little compensation and not that the book value diff. is gonna be much, if any. What does it say, on your bill of sale?
Also, with any of these units, the chassis is usually a year older than the house it's titled under and sometimes two and there has been cases of engines and such that got caught up in a transition year.
