A seller can claim anything they want, but doesn't a VIN number tell the only true story. If i bought the unit with the 2005 VIN number don't i own a 2005 motorhome and therefore have a motorhome worth 1 year less than i thought?

Not necessarily. The RV manufacturers will frequently buy up chassis and have them "in stock" and thus you could have a 2005 chassis on a 2006 motorhome. The VIN will have the year of the chassis but not the motorhome's manufacturer's year.
Your best bet would be to call the manufacturer (Thor or not), give them the VIN and ask what model year it is. Even one ten years old the manufacturer should be able to tell you.
