Mfg. (new vehicle) warranty question
Hi all, For a while now, I have been having this question on my mind regarding the warranties offered in the RV industry. It is a general question, not specific to one manufacturer or another, and ...

Most manufacture's new vehicle warranty will start the day you "purchase" the vehicle regardless of delivery or registration dates. The warranty term is based on the VIN year regardless of the sales year used on the RV. This comes into play most often when terms of the warranty changed from one year to another.
Example was those with GM chassis had a change in the warranty terms for new vehicles. Those with 2016+ model year Class C RV's could have had a 2015 or 2016 chassis. Those with the 2015's VINs had the longer manufacture chassis warranty compared to those with the 2016 VIN chassis. Sadly (cause it usually is reversed) many with the older chassis but on a newer RV model year may not realize their new vehicle chassis warranty is actual better because of the prior years VIN.
However, regardless of the "year" used, you need to know the actual info especially if there are changes to the chassis parts from one year to another.
