R-Pod model years begin each Spring.  The 2018s are on lots now.  Big changes and updates occur in just before 4th quarter before the Forest River open house event and the following RVIA premier shows.

Revision changes of small things do in fact happen somewhat randomly as we just saw with the change to 15" tires from Goshen produced Pods during a December production run.

The 8th letter from the right of your Vin number designates your model year.
So on our R-pod, that letter is "H". Starting from the beginning of the alphabet, that is the 8th letter. Does that make it an 8? It's listed on our pink slip as a 2017, but we purchased it in July of 2016, and it's green, which is not the so-called 2017 color.

I need a decoder ring or something. Confused

H's are 2017s

In 2010 the model year identifier went from numeric to alpha.

Ah. So that's the code. A=2010, B=2011, C=2012, D=2013, E=2014, F=2015, G=2016, H=2017, and I=2018. 

Will have to come up with a new scheme in 2042. Of course, by that time our R-pods will be self-propelled, and driving themselves.  LOL
