I now understand (thanks to y’all & other research) it’s fine & COMMON to have a 2022 RV model with a 22 ‘housing’, with the chassis one or two years older. But the opposite of advertising a USED 2022 Sunseeker that’s actually a 2021 Sunseeker model seems wrong to me. As a potential buyer, I’ve been doing all my USED VALUE research with “2022 Sunseeker” models and believe in this rarer case of advertising based on the NEWER 22 Ford Chassis, I should have been looking at 2021 Sunseekers, not 2022, for FAIR USED VALUES. If this was a 22 SS model with a 2021 chassis I’d have no issue w/advertising it as a 2022.
Yes it does seem like it would be the other way around, generally.
But think Covid maybe had something to do with it. RV mfg has house “shells” or portions tagged and ready to go onto the chassis, but supply chain issues, they don’t get the chassis in time to be ‘21 models and actually receive ‘22 models.
Again, the difference means virtually nothing IMO. Get the chassis vin if you must verify for your own peace of mind (since it doesn’t appear you have a particular specific chassis feature that you’re honing in on that you may not want a particular model year).
It’s a RV. It’s almost new and better look, smell, ride, drive and operate as new.
And unless you plan on flipping it in a year or 2, several years down the road, 1 model year difference will make no difference in resale. Miles, maintenance and condition will drive the value of it.
