Eagles International Forum

My name is Pete and my wifes name is Jean, we purchased our bus in November of 1998.It was an entertainers coach, we were told it was used first by Trisha Yearwood, Charlie Daniels and it was used last by the Statler Brothers and then we purchased it.

The bus had 12 bunks and a front and rear lounge, a small bathroom with a mini sink and toilet, the kitchen was a microwave and an ice box. We stripped it from the rear to the middle,we did all the converting in the back half and had it usable the first year. The second year we did the front half and it was still usable, it was always usable while we were converting it. Then we jumped around from the bathroom to the front, we always had a bathroom, shower. All the woodwork was done piece by piece by my son, all the cabinets are made out of birch. While working on the inside we still had to do things on the outside, new tires, new shocks, motor and other things, (I forgot to mention its a 6v-92). It depended on the weather if we worked on the inside or outside.

A lot of other things had to be done, losing a lot of sleep figuring out where things were going to go and if they were going to fit where we wanted them.
As of today we are still living with a temporary living area, we need a new couch, tables and chair, but it works for now. Maybe I can explain more later.

By the way we did all the work ourselves, except for the motor it was done by
Diesel Exchange in Springfield, Mo.

I hope I can explain more later on, as you all know there is a lot involved.

Hi Pete,

Glad to see you finally started your very own project thread!

I will try and start posting your pictures tonight or tomorrow and then you can add your descriptions..

Way to go Pete!

Thanks Pete for sharing. That helps us to get to know you and your Eagle.

Thank You wayne

Hey Pete. Glad to see you finally made it in here. If your bus used to belong to Charlie, I may be able to get a bit of the history on it. Charlie is a good friend of mine. I found out some info last year on an old SceniCruiser he used to own for some people who were interested. I remember Charlie's MCIs and Prevosts. I don't remember an Eagle but he's been around a lot of years so I'm sure there were others I don't remember. Let me know if you want me to ask.

Looking forward to seeing the pictures!

Here is how Pete and Jeans Eagle looks.
