It looks like the engine is offset.  Does it have a drop box?  Wonder what the rear end ratio is?

Very cool looking.

There was a guy at the rally in Brownsville back in 2007 that had a 1996 35' single axle eagle.  He bought new as a shell from Eagle in 96.  It was a 102".  He gave me a full tour, and I was really impressed that the loss of 5' was not really that noticeable.  Seems to me he was somewhere in Missouri.  It was really a great looking coach.  I think I could like a 35' eagle. ;)

Yes, indeed.  It was a sweet coach.  Isn't he from Kansas City?

I tried to find a picture of that coach from the rally but could not locate it.  I did find the one of the coach that had no rivets.  It was a beautiful coach.   I think this owner was from Michigan.  He also had 4 point leveling jacks.  He could get all the wheels off the ground.  Sweet
