Pretty Eagle for sale Asheville, NC

[Scott & Heather]

Stumbled on this since we are in Murphy for the week. Pretty coach. Only weird thing is why the curbside drive wheel is steel and the rest are all aluminum? And why the window in the luggage bay? Is that another bed area down there

The window in the luggage bay is clearly for the downstairs bedroom.

You know it is funny because down in Key West all of the tour bus drivers sleep in the baggage bays while their passengers are out walking the town.

The window in the luggage bay is clearly for the downstairs bedroom. ...

     I've seen that on tour buses/coaches in Britain and Europe.  I don't know how common it is - maybe Jeremy can tell us more.

I doubt that being a bedroom the bays on a Eagle are 58 inches and that is a half bay the drivers side has the same but skinned over probably a pet room it having 2 doors

Bedroom for little people?

[luvrbus]

People that install what we call a basement for the kids the only entrance is through the inside of the bus the doors don't open on the ones I know of

Is it just me or is there a LOT of rust on that engine?

I put serious odds that is a Bobby Easter bus. Doesn't mean much, except that the roof airs won't be installed properly.

Several reasons why it looks like an Easter Bus Sales bus (which again, I do not recommend dealing with them directly, unless you are a very experienced bus person, buyer beware). The window panning looks like his, the roof AC's are the style he sells, and the generator is set in the bay, on a slide rollout. That is exactly what all of his, that he skinned, looked like.

Cheers,

John

 The steel wheel could be the result of backing the alloy one over a curb, and replaced with steel.>>>Dan

That is a strange little piece of aluminum siding underneath the deadbolt lock.  I wonder why that is there 

[luvrbus]

That piece of siding is probably hiding a crack those raised doors are bad about breaking where the dead bolt goes through the door if not braced and reinforced proper

Here are a couple of photos of purpose-made sleeping compartments on European buses for off-duty drivers. Notice not only the lights and heater in the top photo (which seems dangerously close to the driver's body to me) - but also the intercom so (according to the photo caption) the off-duty driver can talk to the on-duty driver.

It's fair to say to say as well that modern long-distance coaches typically have baggage bays that are much taller than 'our' buses have, which lend themselves to bedroom use much more.

Our laws here prohibit drivers sleeping in the bays on a moving bus here you never see 2 drivers on a bus it would prevent a few accidents IMO if they ran 2 drivers,the term Joey bed I under stand came from that concept

Contacted the seller and this is what he said:
1. The wheel is a steel wheel, but I have three aluminum wheels that will go with the bus.

2. The window was just the way it was built, we use it for storage.

3. Only has one tank for fresh water (50 gal) and the gray water tank is also (50 gal). The toilet tank is about 12-15 gallons.

4. 45ft long with raised roof and is 102" wide.

5. Very little rust.
