After seeing Larrys good looking 85, I decided to send in a couple of pics of our 77 ranger. We got it this spring as a freebie but it didnt look quite as good as it does now!

With a little work { and some help from this group}, its now in usable condition- but still a work in progress. Thanks, everybody, we just love our ranger!      Mike Dunn and family
Very nice looking.

On my 1985 Royal there is a ring that the shower curtain attaches to.  This ring
looks like it would attach to the ceiling or a track so that the curtain would
hang inside the shower base.  However I can't find anything to attach it to. 
Does anybody know how this works?

Thanks,
Larry

I got it for $2000 and I felt like that was a good price considering it looks almost new and spent 18 years in a garage unused and the rest of the time, little used and some parts of it were never used, like the shower.

Thanks Jim, I appreciate the information on Apache.  I was hoping for something like that and from what I am seeing on the internet people really like their Apachies. 
 
I bought the 85 today and got it set up in my driveway.  I am learning about it.  I have had several motor homes and a trailer but never had a popup before.  I was surprised at how easily it towed.  It looks like with practice we should be able to set it up in about 10 minutes.  I was also surprised to find that this one doesn't have a battery in it but didn't think about it until I got home.  I can live without that but may put one in eventually. 
 
Thanks again Jim,
Larry

Hi,

Actually 1985 is a pretty popular year for Apaches. Apache campers are extremely well built, and tend to far outlast other brands from the same years. The failure of the company in 1987 was largely credited to mismanagement. The original owner sold the company, and within a couple of years, changes to product marketing and delivery along with the financial management of the company caused its demise.

There are links to many resources at:

www.apacheowners. com

including the link to Apache Sales Corp, the distributor of OEM parts.

Thanks Jim, I appreciate the information on Apache.  I was hoping for something like that and from what I am seeing on the internet people really like their Apachies. 
 
I bought the 85 today and got it set up in my driveway.  I am learning about it.  I have had several motor homes and a trailer but never had a popup before.  I was surprised at how easily it towed.  It looks like with practice we should be able to set it up in about 10 minutes.  I was also surprised to find that this one doesn't have a battery in it but didn't think about it until I got home.  I can live without that but may put one in eventually. 
 
Thanks again Jim,
Larry

Hi,

Actually 1985 is a pretty popular year for Apaches. Apache campers are extremely well built, and tend to far outlast other brands from the same years. The failure of the company in 1987 was largely credited to mismanagement. The original owner sold the company, and within a couple of years, changes to product marketing and delivery along with the financial management of the company caused its demise.

There are links to many resources at:

including the link to Apache Sales Corp, the distributor of OEM parts.

Jim, 
 
I understand if it was an attack on his email as I had one recently too!  And I hope noone got a spam mail at my expense either!  Hopefully that is what happened here because I agree with you that this is a great site and very informative!  And noone should be doing the spam thing here! 
 
Keep up the good posts people.  Your information is very enlightening!
 
Bruce

Well, it was bound to happen eventually. A member who joined a year ago and had made legitimate posts in the past hit the board with a SPAM post. The post was deleted and the member is now on moderated status. It is always possible that this message was somehow the result of a virus or other improper use of the member's account, so I will moderate future posts from him. (as opposed ton outright banning).

This is a great community and I hope we will all continue to make it so.

If you close all windows and the temperature drops enough over night to form dew the moisture in the air inside the camper has to go some where and it will condense on the canvas and drip. leave a window a little unzipped at each end so the air can circulate  the cooler air out side will flow in and the warm moist air in side will go out.
