Nope, that is a common occurrence in the RV industry.
Manufacturer's purchase the frames "in bulk" and they lay around the plant until an RV is built on top of them. Sometimes you can get one where the frame (and thus the VIN) is 2 years older than the RV.
The official year of the RV is the year that Thor says it is, not Ford.
(This topic comes up every so often--about the time that the old topic drops off the "recent post list".)
