that year Eagle is a pretty bodystyle,,, I'm kinda preduice on that...buying over the phone is not too good,,, if it is an entertainer... that probably means it has bunk beds on one side or the other, they are usualy kinda cheap homemade conversions, the Eagles had rust issues , suggest you talk to a man at Ok. jefferson bus in Ok city he can tell where the bus spent it's life if you get the serial number from the owner of the bus.... it depends 'where the bus peent it;s liiiife, if it was in the nothest.... they use salt on the roads, they use salt and they have rust issues ....... jefferson bus....800-818-93279327//// not sure about the phone number ,I have vision problems....... |

You may want o first talk to Gary Labombard and check his very informative Eagle rust site out first, before buying OVER the Phone!
here is a link to his site:

James, If you are 6'1" its gonna be real close on head room with you in the center of the coach unless the roof has been raised. It will have to be center isle. |
