Date of Build

Hello All,

We are going to finalize the purchase of a Shadow Cruiser 195wbs this weekend and I was wondering how to determine the date of build for the trailer. Thanks for the help.

IIRC, the manufacturer is required to put the date of manufacture on a label (not just a sticker, but, a long life label) adhered either outside on the street side of the trailer or inside (may be in a cabinet) near the main entrance door.

Seems to me the '08 210 WBS that we used to have, had the sticker on the outside, along with the tire size and pressure information. The Cougar 318 that we have now, also has it on the outside just above the label for the tire size and pressure. Our Cougar was built 2/10/11 (one of the last of the '11 models rolling off the assembly line).

Thanks Webslave, I was thinking maybe the VIN might give it to me but no free service to search an RV's VIN. Thanks again for the quick help.
