Sad day in the Apache Family

feeds@yuku.com (warren956) — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 00:08:28 GMT

Well friends, I have sad news. My nearly completely restored 77 Ranger my no longer be with us. A freak storm blew though here today and I lost my road cover. We don't get many tornados here, and when we do, they are small, but I'll bet you this was one. I found the 100+ pieces of my road cover almost ½ mile away. All in one place. And some of the smaller pieces where driven into the side of a hill more then 3" below the ground level.

So, here is the deal. I'm...

Tongue Jack

feeds@yuku.com (Laughingchi) — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 17:30:08 GMT

The tongue jack on my Royal worked hard & had the horizontal turning handle which I hate, also needed a wheel for the tongue. I found one on eBay from a Michigan salvage yard. Included the removable wheel, was new and was about $25 including shipping. I was surprised (I shouldn't have been) that I found another example of Apache quality. The 3 bolts holding the tongue jack in place were actually THREADED into the trailer tongue! This made replacement a breeze! Unlike a Scotty I...

A step for a step

feeds@yuku.com (Laughingchi) — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 15:08:59 GMT

Well, the rain halted enough for me to put up the Royal and start moving my stuff into it. I'm hoping to take her on a color tour before the snow flies. I definately see some areas that I'm gonna have to work on, but overall I love it! Definately a keeper! I don't think I'll ever bother to assemble the awning or the screen that snaps to it and I'm certainly not going to lay out the awning carpet the previous owners used, Simplicity and relaxation is the key to camping...

I got it! I got it! I just brought home a 1980 Apache Royal. I love it, tows behind my minivan like a dream and its in great shape. Lift works smooth as silk. After looking at other brands, i am just amazed how shoddy they are built when compared to Apache. here's a few pics.

First stop was the Grand Tetons then to Yellowstone then on to Seattle to visit kids and grandkids then drove down to the Oregon Coast to the California Redwoods from there we headed to Flaming Gorge, Utah then to Rocky Mtn National Park and returned home to Cincinnati on July 18th. It was a lot of miles but we had a wonderful time. Here is a link to some of the pictures

What a group of pepole

feeds@yuku.com (rhibbs) — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 23:45:34 GMT

I stumbled into the Apache thing, I was looking for an older conventional camper. I was never interested in a pop up. I saw this 72 roamer at an older mans house, I stopped and asked him about it and bought it for $200.00. I found this site by doing a search on Apache campers, and am glad I did. I have never met or even spoken to any of you, but feel like an old Friend. Every question I have asked has been answered. I have felt like I have your support with my project. This site has become as...

My Winter project- espresso bar

feeds@yuku.com (datac) — Wed, 27 May 2009 16:48:06 GMT

The coffee bar is about the end of my umpteen year basement remodel. Vintage porcelain bar sink, cooktop, and steel cabinets, Marmoleum top, etc., etc.
I'm a poster child for why folks should just buy off the shelf rather than making everything from unobtainium.

Help! Order of assembly for bed ends

feeds@yuku.com (excalibur) — Mon, 04 May 2009 11:34:54 GMT

I tore my bed end panels apart this winter to repair some cracking around the window and on the roof panel & to replace the wood liner board. Everything is now complete, except for the joining of the two panels together. I tried about 8 different ways over 3 hours yesterday, and could not figure out how it is supposed to be assembled. I have all the metal hinge parts in the right place, but just cannot slip the metal hinge together, joining the two panels. Could they have made it more...

Hey everyone, I finally bought a laptop computer and wireless router! I am now sitting comfortably at my picnic table 100 yards from the house next to the chicken coop!
Man I love technology! All of the hens are standing at the fence looking at me wondering what I'm doing out here!!! LOL! Tom

I'd like to share pics of my '72 Apache Roamer

feeds@yuku.com (VWSwap) — Sun, 19 Apr 2009 22:26:32 GMT

Hey folks,

I have some good pictures of my 1972 Apache Roamer that I sold last summer. I wasn't sure if there is an area on this site that archives the years and what they look like inside, and out. This is a clean camper, and I have pictures at http://s200.photobucket.com/albums/aa208/1972Apache/

I would be happy to upload, for posterity or whatever, if anyone is interested....
