Did you get your unit yet and if so was it a2013?

[RollsRoyce]

Call Brian Emmons or your district sales rep... If your salesperson is any good he shopuld be able to have them e mail that information to you providing you give them an address he will take the last four of your vin and tell you if it is 2013 or not...Otherwise you will have to see the information tag on your trailer...When I spoke with him the other day he said if ordered after May 1st and delivered in June it would be a 2013

Anyone know of any design or equipment changes between 2012 and 2013 RL?

How to read a VIN


1st character- Identifies the country in which the vehicle was manufactured.
For example: U.S.A.(1or 4), Canada(2), Mexico(3), Japan(J), Korea(K), England(S), Germany(W), Italy(Z)


2nd character- Identifies the manufacturer. For example; Audi(A),
BMW(B), Buick(4), Cadillac(6), Chevrolet(1), Chrysler(C), Dodge(B),
Ford(F), GM Canada(7), General Motors(G), Honda(H), Jaquar(A), Lincoln(L), Mercedes Benz(D), Mercury(M), Nissan(N), Oldsmobile(3), Pontiac(2or5), Plymouth(P), Saturn(8), Toyota(T), VW(V), Volvo(V).


3rd character- Identifies vehicle type or manufacturing division.


4th to 8th characters- VDS - Vehicle Descriptor Section. These 5 characters occupy positions 4 through 8 of the VIN and may be used by the manufacturer to identify attributes of the vehicle. Identifies vehicle features such as body style, engine type, model, series, etc.


9th Character - The check digit "character or digit 9" in the sequence of a vehicle identification number (VIN) built beginning with model year 1981 (when the 17 character digit format was established) can best be described as identifying the VIN accuracy.


A check digit shall be part of each vin (since 1981) and shall appear in position
nine (9) of the VIN on the vehicle and on any transfer documents containing
the vin prepared by the manufacturer to be given to the first owner for purposes
other than resale. Thus, the vins of any two vehicles manufactured within a 30
year period shall not be identical. The check digit means a single number or letter
"x" used to verify the accuracy of the transcription of the vehicle identification
number.


After all other characters in the VIN have been determined by the manufacturer
the check digit is calculated by carrying out a mathematical computation
specified. This is based on vin position, sample vin, assigned value code,
weight factor and multiply assigned value times weight factors. The values are added and the total is divided by 11. The remainder is the check digit number.
The correct numeric remainder - zero through nine (0-9) will appear.
However, if the remainder is 10 the letter "X" is used to designate the check
digit value/number.



10th character- Identifies the model year. For example: 1988(J), 1989(K), 1990(L), 1991(M), 1992(N), 1993(P), 1994(R), 1995(S), 1996(T),
1997(V), 1998(W), 1999(X), 2000(Y)------2001(1), 2002(2), 2003(3)


11th character- Identifies the assembly plant for the vehicle.


12th to 17th characters- VIS - Vehicle Identifier Section. The last 8 characters of the VIN are used for the identification a of specific vehicle. The last four characters shall always be numeric. Identifies the sequence of the vehicle for production as it rolled off the manufacturers assembly line.

A 2012 would have a 10th digit of "C" and 2013 will be "D". I hope this helps.

Kerry,

Did you check this out on your rig? I know that the Auto Industry uses this format, but does the trailer use the same format, and where did we finally come up with this information?

[John317]

To add to the confusion the VIN# given to me by the FactoryRep has "C" in the 10th position. But yesterday Brian Emmons checked on my unit and told me it was in Paint. I then asked him if it was a 2012 or 2013. He told me it was definitely a 2013. I guess I'll find out when I get it. It really doesn't matter to me I already got my major discount for being promised a 2013 and then finding out it was going to be a 2012.

[UNDRPSI]

Well I checked our 10 letter, and it is a D!!! We can wait!


Thanks Happy Camper for posting the info.

My order went in May 9th and expected delivery date is 3rd week of June. Factory stated my new 36RL will be a 2013. Hardest part is going to be waiting for another 5 weeks before it even gets here...

[RollsRoyce]

Man, I have never seen anything so confusing....You ordered on March the 13th and we ordered March the 16th...We were told it would be a 2013 and got a 2012 at the dealer on Aprril 18th and you haven't even gotten yours yet...What just happened?

Even more confusing is how you got delivery in month while the rest of us had to wait 8 weeks or more. Did you order full body paint?

[RollsRoyce]

NO just std paint...Actually they said I would receive in 2 weeks because they already had one in a stock order just needed to upgrade the order for G rated and washer and dryer and 3 fantastic fans...Then after we ordered they recanted saying the one the were sending had been promised to someone else and also said it would be approx 4 to 6 weeks and a 2013 ....Then they recanted on the 2013 when I called to check on that

[RollsRoyce]

Have you heard anything more about yor RW being a 2012 or 2013 model
