wow.. given the tons of information in the original post, I'm shocked that no one has been able to get the year. ;)
 
Perhaps you could include a little more information such as make, model, number of axels, size of tires, type of roof (ABS, etc.), perhaps a picture or two as well.  Give us something to work with and we'll probably be able to come up with something.

Welcome to PUT.
 
I am sure someone here can help you, but you need to provide us with information on your PU.  Please post it.:)

My guess would be in the 1966-2005 era. (based upon the excellent description that you provided to us)   :D

  Maybe with just a few more minor details, we will be able to narrow it down some more.

If you can find the VIN #, maybe I can help. I think I've got a reference somewhere on that...

i know i need to give more detail but i don't even know where to start.the roof is fiberglass,not your normal compressed roof.there are no tags on the out side of the body,so i don't eve know what modle it is.the canvas has been replaced so there is no tag on that either.all i have is a serail number on the stove,but no date on that either.sorry

Yes, the tongue is where I would suspect it would be. It may be metal-stamped into the tongue (with or without a tag).

If you have any way of posting pics, that would be very helpful as well too.

There should be a manufacturer's metallic band or label on the axle that would give some base information. For example, the label on my Starcraft gives the axle manufacture's name (Dexter), model number, the weight carrying capacity of the axle and the date it was manufactured. In the case of my camper, the axle was manufactured the year prior to the model year of the camper.

See if that will provide a little information.

so i need to look at the axle under the trailer right?i tried to find some thing on the frame and came up empty handed..the box of the trailer is 11feet 10.5 inches,the frame is 12feet,7.5inches,from bed to bed when fully poped out it is 19.5 feet.it look like the real colors of the frame was green,and the box was orange.my fuse type is a screw in and it is 15amp.there is a number on my furnacne and stove but not date on install or when that was made.tires or 13inch if that helps?i have looked in the cabinet under the sink and can't find a thing....

flyfisherman

Correct ... that label should be affixed to the axle and you will need to crawl under the camper to see it (if it has not come off or been removed) and it might be a good idea to take a flashlight in order to read it better.

Also, my Starcraft has a metal label attached to the frame of the camper, on the road side of the camper (driver's side), just back of the "A" frame (or tounge) of the trailer; and this gives some basics about the camper, as in what model it is, manufacturing date of the camper and it's GVWR (total weight the trailer can carry, including cargo).

 Being an Orange box it makes me think of Apache.
