I bought my American Eagle in March 2024 from the estate of the original owner with 55k miles. It was used almost strictly for tailgate parties at WV Football games. Owner towed a large BBQ/outdoor kitchen in a cargo trailer behind, so it also has supplemental trailer brake controls. It was stored in a special built climate-controlled garage since new. When the owner died in 2010, the family kept it for special occasions and still went to football games. It was rarely used for camping trips other than back to NC for service at the original dealer. It needed new tires and batteries when I got it but everything worked. the original bill of sale was included for $392k in 2003. The quality is superb! All cherry wood interior with beige Ultra leather seating. Since I am a full timer, I expect to upgrade the entertainment systems and already installed a new TV in the exterior compartment. Surprisingly, it also came with a lifetime Sirius Sat Radio which is excellent. I could go on and on about the quality and refinements but what few others have said about support, I want to add now, American Coach has a highly respected owners forum online with photos, facts, and immediate response to questions about issues with the coach. The Aqua-Hot system was new for me to learn about, and the forum was full of info. In Florida with it till March when I will drive to GA for the yearly FMCA Motor Coach events which are another huge support for information about the Eagle. Summers will be spent up north and winters down south. Maybe to Mexico with one of the FMCA owner caravans.

Great motorhome. There is something about a durable, reliable, and fun RV. Hopefully everyone can enjoy the luxury of a vehicle like this someday. Last thing I’ll say is the batteries do need to be replaced every 20,000 miles ish. There are 4 of them and they are 6 volts each. The 12 volt ones won’t fit In the space to be able to have 2 of them.

Home for us 5 to 6 months every year for the summer! Quality and dependability are great. Having central vacuum and washer/drier and convection oven as well as great purified water made it like home! I love the roomy sleeping quarters with a quiet ceiling fan. 9-10 miles to the gallon seems like better than most of my friends with plenty of power from the Cummins turbo! Never a problem towing my car! Had a couple problems with the hydraulic jacks, but solved them. Loved the huge electric Gerrard patio shade with automatic wind sensor which closed it once and surprised me! Very quiet and super smooth ride. Didn’t like that the Bose stereo system wasn’t hooked up to the tv. Was nice to have the 1000 lb super slides in the storage compartment, and the extra freezer/refrigerator in a pull-out storage compartment was nice for fish and extra ice. Had a few electrical problems till I had a new inverter installed, then has worked fine since. We loved the many ceiling lights and changed the bulbs to dim-able LEDs. Didn’t like the window covers or shades, so we had all removed and replaced with window horizontal blinds, which we love and it made all the windows so much bigger to see out of. The quality wood and leather made it so appealing! The storage compartments had electrical locks which I was never able to get working but I loved how the storage doors opened upwards instead of out like most coaches. Cleaning the black and gray tanks was a breeze, with controls to empty and flush clean.

We traveled all over the South East for business so it was ideal. It's in great condition and runs great! You will love it.

Deliberate decision to stay away from DEF ....CAT ENGINE has made a monmouth difference in cost of ownership. Small design features when aggregated make the Eagle decision straightforward. Superior interior wood finish. Hydro-hot a smart option you will not regret. RA

We purchased this RV a year ago from a 2nd owner that never really used it. It sat in a garage for years so the paint is like new. Everything inside is in great shape ie: Refrigerator, stove, washer/dryer, leather couches, ice maker. We are now moving to Texas and have no place to store it so we want someone else to enjoy it. We have purchased extras for it like a new AM/FM stereo and the coach has Bose speakers...new $1000 curtains...flat screen for bedroom...water softener. It tracks very well while driving and towing is hardly noticeable. This coach was $300,000. new so it is made very well and has light wood cabinets with corian counters. We will be adding more pictures of the inside this week. Please let us know what questions you have.
