Year of RV Doesn't Match Floorplan
I asked this question in another thread, but it was buried with a lot of other info so I thought I'd post it on its own. We're researching used class A diesel pushers and have found that most manuf...

Hi,
Our GBM motorhome is built using a 2004 floor plan. When we ordered it (Mid May of 2004) they were already building the 2005's. So it was built as a 2005 with the 2004 dual sofa floor plan, which wasn't available for the 2005 model year. They added LE (Limited Edition) to the Cruise Master graphics on the side, but you won't see LE listed in any of the guides. So we were able to get the discontinued 2004 floor plan we wanted on our 2005 motorhome.
Couple that with the fact that sometimes the state the motorhome is registered in can get confused between the chassis manufacture date and the motorhome manufacture date, there can be a discrepancy in the actual model year of the motorhome. Ours, for instance, is titled and registered as a 2005. But in some states it could be registered as a 2004. But you won't find our model in a 2005 listing.
Anyway, yes, it can get confusing. What you're doing is probably the best you can hope for: Check the floor plans for the adjacent model years.
Good Luck,
