Carey Graham Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 In need of clarification. I purchased a 1983 Toyota Dolphin. However, the title says 1984 but the inside of the door states "chassis built Dec 1983". So which is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It arrived in 1983 but wasn’t a MH until 1984. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carey Graham Posted July 8, 2020 Author Share Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) So 1983? Would I have the DMV change it on the new title? Edited July 8, 2020 by Carey Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Depends on your state. Some insist on manufacture date and some want the RV build date. Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

December 1983 would quite likely be a 1984 model year. There was a styling change between 1983 and 1984. Front fenders & lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carey Graham Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share Posted July 9, 2020 Hey thanks!!! 1984 it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maineah Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 That's pretty much standard in the RV industry. I guess it takes them X months to build the thing so it's just easier to commission them the following year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
