Default Split year chassis/RV is very common

Having a chassis a year older than the RV build is very common in the industry, especially from October to March when orders are slower. I have a 1996 Chevy chassis but Gulfstream did not build an RV on it until March of 97. Purchased new in April 1997. However the State of Illinois uses the chassis VIN and says it is a 1996 model. Other states make up their own rules. Since I plan to drive it until either I or the vehicle am dead, it makes no difference to me.

Does anyone know the real truth?

Thanks!
