02-16-2001 - Maiden
Voyage
For the first time, I didn't have to worry about rain! |
02-24-2002 - Another
Trip
This is from another trip a year later. A good shot of this side
of the trailer. |
02-24-2002 - Another
Trip
Here is a shot of the door side. The sun was too bright in this
photo, thus the streaking. |
02-24-2002 - Spare
Tire Cover
The spare tire cover. Of course, this is after the repairs and
strengthening I did. |

02-24-2002 - Stove
The three-burner stove. Cleaned up good! |
02-24-2002 - New
Curtains
A better shot of the new curtains. |
02-24-2002 - Sink
& Sprayer
You can barely see that I have added a sprayer (for those high pitchers
that you need to fill, etc.) |
02-24-2002 - "T"
Connection
This was my first attempt at a "T" connection for the plumbing
(to accommodate the sprayer). This failed (as you can tell by the
towel). I eventually found a standard "T" barb connector
from a company in Canada. I will post a photo of it soon. |

09-02-2002 - Bondo-Glass
Repair
The 'gaping' hole that I repaired with fiberglass & resin first,
then bondo-glass over that. (This photo is the first shot from my new
digital camera, and is much higher resolution) |
09-02-2002 - Bondo-Glass
Patches
Nearly two years later, how the patches are holding up. They were
starting to slightly deteriorate with exposure to the sun. It's
taken me nearly two years to finally put up a carport to protect my old
girl. |
09-10-2002 - A
bad patch
One of the worst patches. It was starting to separate from the
ABS. However, most of the other patches aren't so bad. |
09-10-2002 - Overall
Patches
Safely underneath my new carport, I was ready to apply elastomeric paint
to the entire road cover. In addition to giving protection to the
patches, it would make the roof a more uniform color. |

09-12-2002 - Overall
Patches
Two coats, each spaced a day apart provided these fantastic
results! It's a good blocker of UV rays, plus my road cover nearly
looks new! |
09-12-2002 - Rear
ABS Corner
I also applied the elastomeric paint to the rear corner repair I
performed. While I'm certainly no expert at bondo-glass repair, I
think this came out pretty good, considering the state it was in
before! This is before I did a final cleanup. |
09-12-2002 - New
Levels
Here's the new levels I put on a few months ago. Everyone
should have two levels on their Apache to ensure a level set-up!
The other level is attached to the front ABS bezel (to the left in this
photo) |
11-24-2002 -
"Dual"-ing Apaches
For our November camping trip, my brother Tony joined us. Apaches
are taking over the campground! Tony's performed a lot of work on
his Apache, and I hope to get more photos from him of his work soon. |
