I don't....but I do know that it needs 6 more lugs on the front right! :)

JPJ I am surprised you do not know.

As the cost of an H-3 shell is approaching 450,000, and IMO they have chosen the WRONG new power plant, it is motivating the competition to go after a piece of that motor home market.

Dale just a minor oversight on their part.

Must be the cold weather, can't get Smugmug to show the pictures.

Anyone else have that problem?

Smugmug, that's a new one. No Lew, came right up for me.

Yes Jon you win the coveted attaboy and pat on the back award.

Mango tend to agree with you. If I had to guess I'll betcha the lights front and rear get improved but the cabinet makers have got to love the straight walls. Interior height is taller it comes with a C-15 Cat and it has electric bay doors I thought are cool.

Sorry for the distraction. You can all go back to your MPD;)

I went looking after the source of the picture and went through the entire Eagle site.

Apart from being rather unappealing to me, I was convinced the guys that are trying to restart Eagle production are up to their butts in alligators. They don't even know what they don't know.

There is nothing to show the drivetrain, systems, dash, slides or how they will market their product. My guess is they think the Eagle will be sold to the entertainer and motorhome market. I cannot imagine them capable of breaking back into the seated coach market. I would be very surprised if they are around in two years.

BTW, they have gone one step further than Mango and JDUB....they don't have incandescent side marker and clearance lights, they don't have LED lights, they have the new invisible lights on the side of the coach.

Before anyone gets their undies in a bundle, the Eagle offering reminds one of the Indian motorcycle idea. Tradition, a nifty name and, well, let's put it this way, "Good luck fellas."

It looks to me like a prototype. I'm not sure that Coach would comply with Federal and state requirements at this point. If they could add some character to the Coach, they might have something. The wheel wells seem to be not finished to me.

Eagle may have a better chance with this design.
