Forest, 12/92 is indeed possible and likely for the last 1993 model. My 1992 is one of the first 1/3 of the 1992 units and it was manufactured in March, 1991. Newell frequently has indicated a model year as running the year after the manufacture date. As an example of this, one of the first 2013 model Newells was completed by 1/10/12 (that is when it showed up with photos on their website for sale) and the 2014's are already available.
I do have a question for you Forest. What are the 3 digits of your VIN following 1N9? That gives the length in feet and inches, i.e. mine is 436 which is 43' 6". I have seen your coach listed as 38', 39' and 40'. Those 3 digits will tell the story according to what Newell measured it. Since 1980, a VIN beginning with 1N9 indicates it was manufactured by Newell, although the following three digits indicating the length was a practice only begun by Newell with the 1990 models as far as I know. I know of a 1979 model that has a VIN starting with 3610RE and a 1980 beginning with 1N9602 which is obviously a Newell but obviously NOT a 60 foot.
