That's why my bus wasn't in the pics.  Yea, I had to leave Saturday, mid morning.  Kind of intimidating having everyone watch you hook up your toad and chasing your dog back into the bus, being the first to pull out of the parking lot. 

Wish I could have stayed, but the Relay for Life Walk was calling me back home that afternoon.  It was a great rally.

Paul -

Thanks for sharing the link Clifford & Sonja sent you.  Altho I'm a GMC guy, I certainly appreciate the effort folk put into ANY make/model coach.

That little shorty's a cutie (pic #15) - any idea who owns it?

FWIW. . .

The one I like is the two axle job.  Is that 40ft, or a bit shorter?  Good Luck, TomC

TomC,

That is a 35'x102" ordered from the factory as a shell back in the early 90's.  It belongs to a fellow from Kansas City and I can't remember his name.  He and his wife spend about 4 mos/year in the coach. 

I went inside that coach, really nice with a flat floor all the way to the front.  The only thing he gave up compared to my 40' was a chest of drawers and desk and a bit in the bedroom.  His bath, galley, and lounge were basically the same dimensions as mine.  The 102" did feel wider.  I could tell the width difference. 

If I had my choice of any coach at that rally, I liked his the best.  I almost liked it more than mine (biased).  That coach just had really neat proportions in its dimensions.  You should have seen how tight the turning radius was on that bus.

TomC - are you talking about the 35' Eagle suburban? I think I saw it a couple years ago at an Eagle rally in Branson - It was parked next to me - I thought the people were from Springfield Mo. - but I may be mistaken - was a nice coach though -

There is a member of Eagles International on the west coast who has a Suburban and goes to most of the Eagle Rallies and participates in the governing of the club. Unfortunately I can not remember names. The suburban does not have a tag or bogie axle, by the way.

Check out my Avitar. (Hard to tell it is so small) Got a Eagle Suburban that is 40' long and love it.

From what I can see Tom, nice bus.  Peavey Corporation in Meridian, MS has a really nice 35' Suburban single axle that they shuttle employees back and forth to plants as needed.  That thing is SWEEEEEETTTT!

I had to pass it everyday on my way to work.  As I understand it, Eagle didn't make many of those and they are in high demand...

the Eagle in the photo is a model 15 bus built for motor homes it has a flat floor and a air leveling system and is not the same as a model 10 suburban that was built from 1983 to 1988 i understand that less than 12 were built of these buses some with smooth sides or eagle siding and 35 or 40ft  and all were 102in wide and the same type steel as the model 20
