Really nice Eagle M-15 listed on RVTraders in Fresno.  Original Country Coach conversion, one of the few Marathon and CC's.  Everything you could option back then, 173,00 miles, 75K.  Many pictures, I see no sign of rust anywhere and very good care.  FYI

Very nice condition and obviously well cared for. Not nitpicking but like all vintage conversions, many features are dated at best, practically obsolete. One would need to spend some coins upgrading things like the VCR, cassette tape, mini tube TV, etc.


Surprised that over 400 pictures showed so little mechanics and underside pics. Not any mention of service history; again, really important stuff for serious buyers.


Would love to follow through sale and final guestimate of sale price.

Yeah on the $50 or $60. Heck I've shopped mine out there,  97,000 mile, Prevost maintained,  1991 XL for $52,000 and only have tire kickers.

That is the trademark of that PopRV outfit, they never provide mechanical details because they haven't a clue. They copy someone else's listing and take a cut if they ever sell it. They are still the only outfit on eBay I have seen with a negative feedback rating. This might be a great Eagle at the right price, but PopRV leaves a lot to be desired.  ???

10-4 on the poprv outfit.  I poured over all those pictures a few times and that looks like a real nice bus to me, although Country Coach went kinda overboard in those days.  She's standing up nice and straight though. Wonder if anyone rolled in rods and mains yet.

If that were available when we downsize our primary ponderosa I'd nail it! Nice rig. Dated but were in a 53 for 40 years now! Didn't think I'd ever say anything like that... I've always liked bald eagles & GMC buses - wow what a thought...

There was only 3 big name converters for the Eagle Marathon,Monaco and Country Coach the three bought Eagles when Prevost was on strike.my friend Buck has a good looking nice  Monaco conversion,Eagle would not floor plan their buses like Prevost, when the bus left Brownsville they wanted their money, fwiw there are some nice looking MCI's out there by Marathon before they changed to Prevost

Larry Jones still owns his model 15 Country Coach,Rogers son owned a Country Coach he sold 3 years back and the one listed are the only 3 Country Coach conversions I know of, the 4 Marathon conversions last I heard were a alive and well in Tenn.I lost track of the Eagles they were changing hands so fast,lol if I knew Roger was selling his Monoco so cheap I would be driving a Eagle instead of the CC Magna. Man  when Roger down sized he did from a 40 ft Eagle to a M/B Sprinter
