You have a chassis VIN and a final vehicle VIN. The model year code for the final vehicle VIN will be the model year of the finished vehicle.

Almost all of the production of a RV model year, motorized or not, will be accomplished in the previous calendar year, on chassis with VIN for the previous model year. That is just the way it is.
You are fortunate if you managed to get your motorized RV titled for the finished vehicle model year, rather than the chassis model year.
