Trailer years are found based on VIN. The 10th digit of your vin gives the manufacturer model year. In the VIN you provided I put an X for all the digits other than the 10th. The letter J is the proper digit for a 2018 model year on your Salem Travel Trailer. I've attached a couple of photos to assist.
