Apache Kitchen Reno

Our favorite part of the Apache is by far the kitchen! Our Yuma has a slide out kitchen so you can use it inside or outside. Very convenient. Who knew that running water in the outdoors could be so life changing?!

The kitchen was in pretty rough shape when we got it, not to mention covered in snake skin. So Jordan took it apart piece by piece and rebuilt it with marine grade plywood. We ended up leaving the counter top and the original sink and stove but we like the 1978 vibes!

You'll also notice the awning!! I sewed it myself. It almost killed me (and my machine) but it was so worth it.

Here are some before and afters.


This was some inspiration we found of our exact model!

We were able to use the tank but Jordan did new plumbing

You get an idea of how warped it was!

Jordan did a bunch of wiring so we could use solar! It also runs the pump to the kitchen sink.

 

I did the painting (insert angel emoji)

Sink works!

Here are the afters!!!!

The tank is only 5 gallons but it's all good for the 2 of us!

The kitchen can either be down, or...

up when it's inside!

When it's outside we can use this as a bench! 

But we slide it in at night so it's just kind of a staging area.

In all it's glory

Jordan installed me a little peg board from IKEA so I could have some vertical storage! We have to take it off when we put it down but it's worth it!
