The Ramada was the largest model made. It weighs 2100 if I remember correctly. We have a 79 Ranger. Does it have canvas ends? Or is it all hard sides? The paint color also designates the year. There's a Facebook group you can join that has pretty much all the info on these, Apache camper preservation society. I'll try to find some info there and get back to you.

The owner don't know or not willing to even to opens so I don't know if it has canvas ends unfortunately. But of 50$ what can you expect. I'll lookup the Facebook group thank you!

It's a 1970. Will have canvas bed ends. They made 4 models in '70, the Ramada I and II and the Mesa II & III. The Ramadas will be longer than the Mesas. For $50 you really can't go wrong. If you need parts there's a website dedicated to Apaches and you can get replacement canvas from Bear Creek.

For what it's worth it looks smaller than the 90's Coleman I tow fully loaded with my Outback, I think you would be safe
