Re: EricbSC 1973 05 Eagle
Congratulations my friend. You have certainly been an inspiration to me as I came into the Eagle fold. I appreciate your friendship & willingness to help me out or even lend an ear when things weren't going the way I wanted. I wish you well & no problems on this first outing. May there be many many more to come.

Charleston SC? I LOVE it! My husband and I were in Charleston this time last year on our honeymoon. It's so beautiful there! I can't wait for the opportunity to go back but this time we're taking the bus!

Re: EricbSC 1973 05 Eagle
As with a lot of bosses, she dosen't pay a lot of attention to busses the way we do. She didn't see all the windows and ask me what the interior looked like. I told her it was beautiful with a king size bed with slideout Granite ETC. Said it would be very similar to the 05. She said so where are the pics? When she saw the seated interior is when the LARGE CONVERSATION BEGAN!!!

Re: EricbSC 1973 05 Eagle
Finally finished the overhead console.I didn't want a lot of clutter up there, so it is simple. Storage in the corners for maps etc. and an umbrella in the center. The orig. build plate is built into the frame.
