The S10 ,the motor home and the entertainer shells in the model 15 the 35 and 40 footers the 04 was 37 foot with no tag and some have removed the bogies on other models fwiw

The Eagle 10S, which stood for "Suburban." They were commonly used on commuter routes.

Seangie and the Turtles have a 10S, it could have been them. I know you saw it in a Meijers parking lot, but where?

FWIW & HTH. . .

In the parking lot in Charlotte, Michigan.

There are couple of 15's in MI was it smooth sided or the Eagle siding ? I also heard somebody in MI bought one of the model 20 2 axle rig from the guy in Louisiana if it was white I know who it was it's for sale

Wasn't us. We are hiding out in the Pacific Northwest. Would love to see pics though! Ours is a 40 foot 10S with 2 axles. Nice tohave the extra space and not have to index the bogies.

I have a 40ft transit that has only 2 axles. Transits are built stronger then over the road buses. Even with all my junk in the bus, I weigh 32,000lbs-11,000lbs front, 21,000lbs rear. I am 2,000lbs in front and 2,000lbs in rear away from maximum. 2 axles are not to be afraid of. Good Luck, TomC

Transit buses don't even come close on the ride part with the 3 axle buses that includes the 10S Eagle IMO

Your correct on the ride part with Torsilastic suspension. But, for instance, yestersday I stopped on a highly crowned road and was able to level my bus with my air suspension. Can't do that on an Eagle. Good Luck, TomC

One other consideration is only 4 wheel end brakes instead of 6.

TomC · August 14, 2014, 09:47:51 PM

At least with my transit, my brakes are 14.5 x 7 in front and 14.5 x 10 in the back. Very large brakes. Good luck, TomC

I just read the title again and had to laugh

--- Is this a UNI-BUS??

I would think it is hard to balance and steer with just one axle!!!!!
