Pretty excited to buy a 2013 San Antonio to replace my toy hauler. It's getting an inspection done and then will travel across the country from FL to CA.
Ill tell ya on one hand I hate depreciation selling my old coach but love it when buying this one.

You're right, depreciation on RV's is no fun.

I just got it over here to CA yesterday. That only took 4 months lol. After the inspection it was found that the front AC needed to be replaced so waited over three months for Camping world to get it together. I sold the truck I bought it with so had it shipped over here. To be honest I think it was cheaper than me going to get it. Dude got it here in just over three days. Now the task of getting it setup and moved into.

I think she's a 2013 and I got the year wrong. That's a bonus but I can't tell. Anyone tell from the sticker?

It was manufactured 10/25/12, so is considered a 2013.

Does show it was mfg in late 2012 so it could be a '13. You could call Heartland on Tuesday with the vin# and they could tell you for sure.

Our previous rig was built 9/11/09 and was a 2010.

Our current rig was built 10/23/15 and is a 2016.

The 10th digit in the vin number will tell you the year.

Should that possibly be the 9th digit rather than the 10th?

No, its the 10th. The 9th character is a security code used to authorize the vin number by the manufacturer.

Aha...the reason I inquired is the OP's 9th VIN digit is indeed a "3" suggesting 2013....the 10th digit is a "D" suggesting 2014 if it is decoded by A.1, B.2, C.3, D.4...etc?

I must have miscounted the digits in the VIN!...lol

If it is a D it would be a 2013 year trailer. It is a linear graph but it starts with 0 rather than 1.

First night in the coach and wow what a difference in room. Tomorrow will be putting things away but the auto leveling is awesome. I push one button and it's leveled right up. I moved her from storage to the park and right outside the park was a scale so I figured I would check it out. Yikes it's the RV version of my 600lb life. Glad I don't have to pull it all the time but it tows amazing.
