Nicest Bus Conversion I Have Ever Seen!!

- UPDATE!!! Phil and Rhea Crook are the VERY VERY Proud Owners of the beautiful 1983 Silver Eagle!!!
This video found me back at Premium Coach Group in Glibert, Arizona. I was doing a 3rd party inspection on a rare and pristine 1997 American Carriage bus conversion that will be for sale.
On some level the inspection was a waste of time because I hardly found anything wrong with it.
Even though my RV walk thru videos don't get too many views, I found myself so impressed I had to make a video showing it to the world.
Hopefully you can make it to the end of my "fanboy" love letter to the coach owner and builder.

I painted that bus down in Bakersfield, Ca. for Mark Fetchner of American Carriage, in Tehachapi! Good to see it looking so nice after 23-24 years!
Wow. Was it a one-of, or did they make more of it? Your name... do you have Norwegian heritage?

@@per-erikfskerud5425 I painted a few Eagle buses for him, and then he started converting Prevost shells into motor homes. American Carriage I did some of them too. We are from Swedish ancestry. Thanks for commenting.
You are " The Man " !
👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
The paintwork looks fantastic. We are in the process of buying the coach. The video that James did was great. We have not actually seen the coach yet.....just the video/pictures and sales pitch. But we really like this classic look. We are down sizing from a H3 Prevost Marathon. Well done again Paul on the paintwork.....very professional. Phil& Rhea
I’ve never seen a mechanic fall in love with a coach before. Your excitement was what sold it. A beautifully kept vehicle.
Thankyou.
Wow, thank you!
I would have to say that is one beautiful coach but as I have not heard the mileage yet and yes it's a 97 but I can say one thing for sure if it's kept inside in an environment that's made to keep stuff nice and it hasn't been driven well of course it's going to be perfect! Anything will stay in mint condition as long as it's in the right environment with the right people looking after it I mean come on I've seen 1982 motorcycles with no mileage on them on showroom floors in mint condition the reason being they don't get used. And I'm willing to bet this is really suspect of the same thing although it is a beautiful coach I only wish the guy that owned my 96 Silverado would have took care of the body like that as a 96 Silverado everything works on it perfectly but the body wow they didn't take care of it anyway enough rambling thank you so much for sharing this video you can appreciate mint mint stuff like this. The other commenter was right it should be in a Smithsonian because it is that perfect
I'm a mechanic who has spent the last 2 years doing a bus conversion and my wife keeps telling me just get it done and stop being such a perfectionist, now I can show her how far from a perfectionist I am, thank you this coach is simply beautiful and gives me vision for what I do even though I know I will never match it
that is serious dedication. I hope you make a video showing it when you're done
@@AZExpert maybe, I'm a bit introverted about my project's
When I watch videos on home-built aircraft, I wonder what percentage of projects started are completed & flown, and what percentage of guys are still married to the same woman as at the start ?

The new owners what did it sell for? Thanks.
I have virtually no interest in RVs but this just piqued my curiosity - and I'm so glad I watched it! Truly magnificent!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Back then things were built to last...quality workmanship
I cannot argue that
The excitement in your face when talking about this bus is the best part of this video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
yes
@@AZExpert enjoyed very much, thank you!
That bus is flowing with flawless in it through out the entirety of the whole coach I can really really see that how much you appreciate at talking about it and especially showing everything in it from top to bottom to bumper to bumper I could just live in it off the grid and as much I would hate to say it I wouldn't want to drive it down the road strictly because of how much it is absolutely Insane and Immaculate it is for a 97 model that is a Perrrfect home on wheels and very very nice even without slides I'll take it in a heartbeat she is a fine Beauty 🙏😎💯👍👍👍👍👍
My dad is a mechanic, your excitement reminds me so much of him. It was really fun watching you enjoy yourself. Thank you so much.😊
You are so welcome!
Most classic cars are maintained to this level and considering it’s at the scale of a house is pretty impressive.
Thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it
A Gorgeous bus, best looking and maintained to perfection. I would be proud to own this 97. Thanks for the tour 👍👍
I used to drive in American eagle back in my days, they were an awesome coach and the owner of this vehicle should be so proud of the upkeep and how pristine it is from when it was born to the date of when you inspected it. Actually this coach should be in the Smithsonian institute without question even though it is a conversion RV. I give it a 10-star rating. Thank you for sharing your inspection and video of this immaculate piece of machinery
Thank you for sharing. I think it should be on display too!
Awesome! I am partial to the American Silver Eagle (ASE). I retired March 2018, after 36 YEARS of professionally driving, School, Coaches and public transportation services. I drove the stars and employees at Opryland Hotel. This is my favorite video, because it being an ASE and my favorite color is green.
Well said!
Ok, I didn’t get it at first, I felt like i was listening to a man on a date, but as the review went on, I could see why he was so excited. this bus is so pristine and well done.
Fair enough!
I was born in 1997 and this bus is better off than me.
@@AZExpert LOL, to you I'm sure this was like RV porn! But I get this was something special.
Does5 even look used, bought it, hauled it home on an18 wheeler flatbed and parked it.
That bus was somebody’s baby!
Thank you for showing the monitoring gizmos, explaining how somethings worked n such, and zooming in so we can see the details, pointing out things that you as a tech don’t see very often - in the state of condition.
Awesome tour, really neat bus. 👍🏼 cheers 🍻
Glad you liked it!
More engineers and mechanics should be salesman
Someday somebody is going to inherent that beautiful machine, and I really hope they appreciate it just the way it is... perfect.
I figure as far as cleaning and care... they had "people to do that."
I realize how late I am, but I still have to say thanks for the tour. A lot of people throw around words like "immaculate" and "pristine" but they truly do describe this beautiful coach. I have seen much newer examples that don't even come close to the condition seen here. The phenomenal layout and build are also worth mention in my opinion. The 1990's vibe certainly isn't my favourite and any shade of green is my least favourite, but the condition of everything is such that I couldn't bring myself to change anything. Just an outstanding specimen.
It really is outstanding
Chad, as a camper and wisher for an RV since I was 9 months old, I am excited to see how joyful you are about this coach. Thanks for the tour!
Awesome! Thank you!
I've watched this 6 times and each time I am almost without words. This is a work of art - should be a travelling museum . Somehow that coach seems to have more richness than todays multi million dollar buses. It is different, elegant, classic, comfortable, very well thought out, meticulous. There is a simple elegance that is warm and cozy, inviting. timeless. In a nutshell, inpsiring and longing for more of that kind today.
The sheer excitement in your voice draws me in. It was genuine, almost lost for words.. What a true gem and godsend!. You sure show it with enthusiasm and love. The entire video is like watching a feel good movie. We feel fabulous at the end. A dream. thanks.
Dave
It’s like limos. Back in the day there was a specific quality you’d expect.
Museum is the correct description. Like a BP cuff, the diesel pump monitor! Central vac, that’s livin the life!😎 Club lights! In bedroom🤣🤣

No doubt!!! I am coveting this awesome 🚎 BUS! He did an amazing job with the tour! His face lighting up with all the gadgets, features, and bunkhouse!😂
"It belongs in a museum!"
Excellent review. Loved it.
Edit: I called for the price. Asking $99,000.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Cheap, but I still can't afford. :/
If I had 99,000 I would buy that in a heartbeat
Unbelievable they would ask so little. I would have thought way more then that! Amazing!
"SO DO YOU!" ( Hopefully I'm getting the Indiana Jones reference correct lol)
I wouldn't have realised how impressive this vehicle is without a keen technical eye for detail like yourself.
Your knowledge for your craft is clearly evident because you notice everything else that is done to perfection other than the obvious stuff.Like the inside panelling of access and servicing doors to the roof and how it is mint condition.
Your a credit to your industry and those RV's at your workshop are in great hands and will be well looked after no doubt after watching this video.
I too have a soft spot for this well presented coach from a previous era still holding its own effortlessly.It has a presence about it that will always get my attention.
Really appreciate the video.
Thank you so much for sharing!👍👍
The 'love affair' was clearly displayed and was beautiful. Thank you.
Hey, Thanks for watching! :)
I know this comment is old but you've got to tell us what this coach sold for. Old, but new and really nice. The thing that impressed me the most was cleanliness, the sound of all the doors including the basement doors when closed and the "hidden away" bunk house. Thank you for sharing.
I am in love with this coach. Talk about a time capsule! Having ridden in enough Continental Trailways buses back in the day, that Golden Eagle chassis was immediately familiar to me.
I'm right there with you on the slides and I think I've mentioned that in your posts before.
That basement/bunkhouse is way, way cool! Amazing detail!
Great vid James. Thanks for sharing.
I'm really glad you enjoyed it. There is a real elegance to the chassis. Doing this video had me do some research and the Eagle chassis could be a very interesting documentary along with American Carriage.
@@AZExpert I would love to see a documentary about the story of the Eagle buses. Maybe even the story of Trailways vs Greyhound back in the day.
I grew up under the hood with my dad from the age of 4 or 5. I'm 56 and female. I completely understand your appreciation for how well that bus was maintained. I've never seen an engine (that had actually been run) look that clean. Are you sure the owner EVER drove the mansion? ☺️
I never met the owner, but I think it was used semi regularly, just for short trips
Totally love this video. This is how I grew up my dad would leave all the plastic on the radio and the leather seat care tags in his trucks. He would almost over engineer everything he owned, wash it everyday even in the rain, and wax every weekend. Even when on vacation lol. Makes me feel like he is still around that is for the great video!
Thank you for that. I'm glad the video brought you some joy.
Love love love this. It gives me the feel of my parents home they bought in '88, especially the colors and built in vacuum system. This coach is awesome. Thank you.
You're welcome!
Nothing like someone who has pride and love for taking care of his possessions. That is one unbelievable coach/bus. Words do not describe it. Beautiful.
I agree
This may just very well be my favorite conversion video. I loved how the technician brought enthusiasm and passion. And it was actually quite contagious; it made me want to watch every minute of this video.
job well done thank you so much
Wow, thanks!
That is pure artwork - top to bottom, front to back and side to side. Loved seeing what's possible when enough love is applied!
Couldn't agree more!
So they camped in there own yard! How manys miles 50? They couldnt pay $5 a gal gas, you said the dealer went broke, maybe never sold it! They still sell stero's with remotes. Why dont u buy it?
Things used to be crafted to last a lifetime, and then some. That is something I had all but forgotten, but this beauty reminded me of it.
Thank you for posting this. That is by far the best maintained and built bus I have ever seen on the internet. That is a masterpiece. Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I got this excited about a lady 40 years ago and I married her. The maintenance cost has been very expensive but she has been worth it!
:)
Pride of ownership to the max. Very impressive coach! Thanks for the great tour!
Super Nice....I personally wouldn't change a thing....it's a time capsule. Someone took a lot of pride in that bus...I can really appreciate that... And your enthusiasm and appreciation of that bus is great to see as well. Great video👍 Too bad Andrew missed out on this one 😆
It was difficult for me to stop praising it, I really do hope not to find problems when I inspect a RV and this was very satisfying!
I also appreciate how meticulously maintained the bus is. Immaculate! Of course, like boats it takes a healthy wallet to buy it and keep it that way. 💲💲💲
They do require attention for sure.
That coach is the most affordable you can find. No electronic crap on it all manual. You could work on it yourself. I think you could buy a Model 10 shell for 125,000.00 new. Another good coach is Prevost XL if you can find one.
$99 000 IS peanuts....new coaches all run around $1 000 000 and higher
Magic of depreciation. The 12 year old Wanderlodge (1995 model, purchased used in 2007), cost me $120K out the door. List price (when new) was $525K. Used bus conversions (when done well) can be a very good deal. Even if the manufacturer has gone out of business, most of the stuff is standard parts available in the RV or Bus industry. (e.g. Even windshields are available for most coaches -- and the Blue Bird school bus parts were able to provide a replacement tie-rod end for my coach when one was needed.)
That coach is beyond insane I have never seen anything like it ,you're exactly right if it came off the factory floor today it wouldn't look any better! WOW!
that is why I was so excited
Right? Like... that generator! It's really a credit to the owner.
@@AZExpert I’m gonna share this with a friend. Her husband is a mechanic and he’s always complaining about the shoddy work he sees and how filthy that some folks bring their cars into him for service. He says, “would they go to the doctors dirty?, gross”. Lol
The best part of this video is you being excited about the vehicle being so clean. It makes me wonder what you normally see! I love your enthusiasm!
Even brand new motorhomes, travel 1500 miles and get dirty, so this is a very rare condition. You'd also be shocked by how some $2 million coaches are treated. Thanks
Amazing insight into this very beautiful bus. Best bus layout I have seen. Love the whole set up. Thank you for this. I would take that as it is.
Same here.
Extraordinarily well maintained, if it weren’t for the stains in the bed’s storage area I would not believe it ever left the garage never mind the yard!
I saw that too. It must have had some condensation that was absorbed, but changing out that carpet and fixing any damage would be the easiest thing you could hope to have to do on most any 97 RV. Lol
What a great review ! on such a wonderful conversion bus ,
Im sure that one will be gone by tomorrow , it was just a pleasure
listening to your review , thank you so much!
Glad you enjoyed it
I had a 72’ and a 83’ model eagle. I absolutely love eagle coach’s and the ride is like no other bus on the road.
That's great to hear, I would have wondered about the ride without air bags.
Better than Provost? Have either of you seen those BOSE seats?
75 mph is as fast as you can go in a Prevost, the ride really deteriorates over 70. Eagle's are the opposite, the faster you go the better it gets. When you were leaning forward you knew you moving.
Drove those Eagles in the 1970s. Nothing rode or handled like and Eagle. Especially running the PA tpke at night with less traffic. Cornering using both lanes passengers didn't even know you were in a curve. Four speed tranny required double clutch shifts. Really fun to drive downshifting on steep grades. Those were the days left lane and hammer down.
@@catliftresearch that’s what Phil is saying right now... drives like a dream and smoother as speed increases... what an awesome coach! Soooo blessed!
That's beautiful. So wish my Dad was still around, cause that's the kind of bus I'd enjoy. So puts today's coaches to shame. Thanks for sharing.
I understand
I really enjoyed you taking me through this superb converted bus, at times it felt like it was the inside of Super Yacht.⛵️
Glad you enjoyed it
I share your enthusiasm for this coach. Absolutely awesome.
I appreciate that!
OMG! I felt like I was back in the first home in owned in the late 1980’s! That carpet, the valance fabric, even the countertop, I had them all. 😂 What a well loved coach. 😁
It reminds me of when I was starting my life too. It's still seems like the year 2000 was 8 years ago
I am like, show me the engine, show me the engine an BOOM. It's prefect. I own a nice (old) coach and I know I bragged on it before. This is nuts. Mine don't hold a candle. Your impression of this coach is something I never seen before. Incredible
It's a very rare thing to see a clean diesel engine compartment, so of course I have to show that!
@@AZExpert got another question. What is the safest way to run a wire through the body. It’s all steel.
I was waiting for you to start crying any second. After all it IS beautiful!
thanks
You did an excellent job showing this magnificent bus conversion. Thank you so much my friend. Keep on doing what you do. Again...thank you! Regards, Myk
Thank you very much!
Wow! Unbelievable who keeps an RV like this! Great to see! Why would you change anything? Priceless in time!
I think even more impressive, is how your channel has taken off! Keep the content coming my friend! Enjoy watching... that bus is a dream! Cheers!
Thank you very much! I've been enjoying your channel too!
Had to be stored inside most of it's life. Amazing coach !
I think so too!
I absolutely love your enthusiasm for this wonderful bus. There are just three things that I would change.
1). Upgrade the TVs
2). Upgrade the radio
3). Change the title into my name
And that's all.
I like the last item!
Craftsmanship and attention in the build quality of the coach are impressive, the care that the coach has received is immaculate/perfectionism.
Right?
Time travel back to the 90's, thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it
wow, I am a diesel fitter myself, I can see why your excited, thanks for a great story, good to see there is still pride in ownership, cheers from OZ
Thanks for watching!
I was a Mechanic at Greyhound based in Brisbane..We had a fleet of these. They are made in Belgium using using American Detroit 8V71 Diesels and Spicer gearbox..The frame was all Boxing NO Chassis Rails.. They are known as SILVER EAGLES..
Nice video! Those Eagle Bus was one of the best passenger coaches. I remember riding on an Eagle Bus as an Tour Conductor/Guide in the early 90's. It had an excellent ride quality.
Very cool!
Since I was a child I've said I'd much rather have something older that's quality, than newer junk; whether it be clothing, furniture, an old farmhouse, vehicles etc!!
I am impressed with your professionalism sir!! The fact you were concerned 'not' to walk on the carpet and donned your booties, says it all!! Good video. Loved the unit. Wish it were in our drive!!
I appreciate that!
It was a pleasure to watch you express your appreciation for this bus/rv
Thank you, and thanks for watching!
I’m mid process on a bus conversion and seeing this 25 year old coach makes me want to completely start over! Thanks for sharing
It's really gorgeous!
No wondering about your big smile, this was unique 🤗🇳🇴❤️
Thank you! 😃
I had to watch this again because it is so beautiful. I just can't believe the condition of this magnificent Beauty!
Someone really loved this bus!
Not even any mice damage! And you did such a great job of presenting this beautiful piece of art. Thank you again James! Regards, Myk
Wow, thank you! That's why I wanted to share it
The magic of the randomness of RUclips, I just discovered this video. Truly a beautiful bus conversion that, after more than 20 years is in incredible shape. (The previous owner(s) must have been fanatical at maintenance.) In 2007, I purchased a 1995 Blue Bird Wanderlodge --- that was in "good" condition, but (even at only 12 years old) showed a LOT more wear and tear. (I was probably the third or forth owner, and the immediately previous owner had been full-timing in it for a few years.) The features were quite similar to this coach (no slide outs) and the Wanderlodge was quite well made. I was given advice to "hold out" $10K (today I'd say more like $20K) to pay for upgrades and modifications --- and unexpected repairs. Indeed, after getting it home from Texas, I found a tendency for the engine to "run hot." (Not good -- a rebuild on the DD Series 60 would cost a fortune.) I found a radiator shop that had a contract with our local transit district (familiar with busses) -- that found the radiator, outside the area swept by the fan, was completely closed up with oily dust. (Eventually, I noticed that oil fumes venting from the engine, were pulled back through the radiator whenever the coach was stopped at idle.) Expensive, but I replaced the radiator core with a newer design (that was being used on the transit busses) that was more efficient and coolant never went near redline ever again. (I also had the radiator steam cleaned every couple of years.) I note that the radiator was behind the charge air cooler (from the outside) and was heavily shrouded (for fan efficiency) from the inside -- so actually LOOKING at the radiator was very hard to do. Whomever purchases this coach will certainly have a beauty!
There is one thing that I will say for certain. If I ever own an RV and it needs worked on I would do my best to find you and have you work on it. Your passion in this video for the RVs at hand is stellar
thank you!
Welcome 😊
Love that ride! Amazing craftsmanship on everything including the paint and finishes.
Couldn't agree more!
That was just a fun tour of a bus I’ll never be in the position to own. But I really enjoyed your presentation. Thank you.
thank you
@@AZExpert What did this bus sell for? How difficult is it to get parts for something this old when something does need replacing? Great tour! Love your enthusiasm for what you do!
To quote Gene Berg "Buy the best and cry once". This is a perfect example.
Totally sweet sweet ride !!!
Happy Motoring 40 yrs coast to coast that's jus 1 sweet ride !!!

Thanks for watching!
That “bunkhouse” is where they keep the jewels.
lol
hahah
LoL 🤣 Well, as I recall back in a days ago there were movie called "Lethal weapon" Mel Gibson was starred in. In that movie there was one scenes that he sneaks out from custom built secret exit that he had on his trailer . That was one coolest features for anybody who had R.V. motorhome., etc at that era . I believe that was designer for this bus where he got his idea from. Yeah 80s 90s was the jewel... LoL 😉
Now that's how one takes care of a Coach! Seeing the remote controls in order got me excited a perfect example of why O.C.D is good.....Drives my wife nuts...lol Thanks for the tour brother awesome!
that was my favorite part and why I made the video. Thank you!
I'm feeling the same love my friend. Grinnin from ear to ear.
I have never seen anyone smile from start to finish before. Thanks for the video.
thank you. I really made this video because it was so enjoyable when I inspected it.
That is an amazing coach! The subtle eagle in the paint is a nice touch too
you notice everything! Thanks!
I was perplexed by the Eagle (decal/sticker) on the frige door though...?
Plot twist, this is actually a time machine, and it's from the past, the day it was finished. That's why it looks new... lol
Beautiful coach. I can see why you were so excited 👍🏼.
Very!
That is the most beautiful museum worthy American Bus Mobile Home that I have ever seen in my 40 years of automotive and truck restoration, this 1997 is in NEW CONDITION..... It is an absolute joy to take this extremely good and informative video. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful piece of bus history and it is just stunning.
Wow
I’ve heard of train spotters..now I’m aware of bus spotters too..never before, have I heard sooo much excitement over a bus..well deserved though..it’s an awesome bus ! 😂😂👍
Thanks for watching! :)
The "bunk house" looks like a safe room.
Yeah, I was thinking “Panic Room” too, or maybe a safe. I bet there is more hidden storage spots in that coach. It would have been convenient for a serial killer to have this too. No ones gonna see the tied up person in that basement storage.
Looked like the closet to me. Also a great escape if someone comes on board with a K9. Looks like a bus a dealer would own.
It almost looks like a entertainers bus the way it is set up and the colors as well. I love it
It's a tour bus.
As a mechanic for 40 years. This coach is well thought out. Also a mechanic dream to work on. 👍👍👍
Yes, the service access was very nice too.
Just look how happy he is just sharing this he truly enjoys this bus and I do too . Thanks man sincerely.
Glad you enjoy it!
Thank you so much for sharing your skill set and these beautiful class A’s. I hope RUclips is paying you well.
You are spot on, this is amazing 👏
I love that classic style, and it looks like a back to the future coach.....
I think so too!
Yeah, I wouldn't change a thing, but might add a couple of items in a way they would blend and not be obtrusive to the overall look.
If this were to have been donated to a museum from the factory they couldn’t have kept it in this good a condition, this was someone’s “precious”.
I agree completely
Wowowowowowoow!!! This coach is insane! I thought I was in love with my 94 Navigator but this is next level and then some 😳😳😳 Thank you so much for sharing!!
Glad you liked it!
I love your passion. The only RV walkthrough I didn’t skip through.
Awesome! Thank you!
Wow. Finally a guy after my own heart. Thank you for the complete walk through. Amazing build for sure. I would definitely buy this bus.
This reminds me a lot of a coach a customer of mine has. Its a 99' 44ft (I believe, might be a 42 or even a 40 but around that size) marathon coach that he had custom built for him in 99. He also had a 24' car trailer built that matched the coach perfectly! Even the same height. He installed a lift in the trailer that was a solid floor, rather than just two runners to stack cars in the trailer, and he hauled two motorcycles on the lift along with storage for all of their riding gear. They haul their BMW in the trailer when they would go on cross country trips so they had a way to get around when they would stop for a night or longer. Anyway, their coach today, 21 years later, still looks like it's brand new! It has like 190,000 miles on it because they do a really long trip every year, anywhere from 5000-10000 miles over a 2-3 month period. Once they get done with their trip they have the coach fully serviced then detailed inside and out, then it is stored inside their hangar till they want to use it again. Other than some updating here and there like the sound system, the TV's, the bed and a new driver seat, everything is original and everything works just as it should. Oh a couple other things they did was install a large solar panel system on the roof along with a large battery bank so they don't have to run the generator very often because they will stay at one location for a week or more before driving to their next stop and they don't always stay somewhere with full hookups. They also installed an auto tracking satellite dish w/ high speed internet so they have internet wherever they are. They did this because they can do wifi calling with their phone provider (t-mobile) so even if they have zero cell coverage they can connect to the satellite wifi in the coach and use their phones as normal. Sweet video man. 👍'ed!!
Thank you so much for sharing the information and watching the video.
it is a beautiful coach. I love the underground bunker.
I do too
Wow I absolutely love how you have to go in I love the mid in tree that is freaking awesome, WOW One of the best laid out buses I have ever seen very unique I absolutely love it
Glad you enjoyed it
American Eagles are iconic and with very good reason. Built like the proverbial brick Sh**house, they were the epitome of quality in every aspect. If you were a country singer in the "old days", lol, this was the statement that said you'd arrived at the top. There aren't too many tour buses mentioned specifically by brand in song, but American Eagle found their way into lyrics for decades in the country music genre for a reason. And they also placed prominently in a ton of country music videos. The number of legendary singers that championed their love affair with American Eagle coaches reads like a list of country music royalty. I'd like to know what it sells for, it's worth every penny, I guarantee that.
A prime example of good craftsmanship over a test of time. Thank you
This is incredible! Beautiful presentation! Just how unique is that basement space? That has got to be the most awesome thing I have ever seen! Thank you so much! Instant subscriber!
14:08 Trademark is ULTRASUEDE, a polyester velour. Only (4) fabric mills in the world make it, the highest quality of which is in Japan.
That's a good eye. Thanks!
That's some forensic textile knowledge!
Thank you dude, I have really bad insomnia & watching a professional give a guided tour at 3am of a top shelf retro motor home was really pleasing to watch. I guess I was classed as a proper adult in the 90's, so all that gear is very familiar to me, thanks for the tour.
Thanks for watching!
Polished Aluminum and paint Scheme is Absolutely Stunning 🚎
Extremely well maintained coach. The access panels at the back and sides for access to alternator are unique. That is the cleanest generator space I have ever seen. Granite flooring and custom kitchen were close to flawless. Beautiful floor layout & no signs of roof leaks.
Well said!
Great Job on the Detailed Tour, - You get an A Plus!!

WOW! That is an amazingly beautiful and unique bus! I agree, it should be in a museum. So much respect to whoever took great care of it. Please let us know if it’s for sale and price if you find out.
