Beautiful 1991 Eagle Bus
Conversion Motor Home
With Custom Car Compartment , and a Custom
Mini Modified 1972 Honda car too..
EAGLE’S
NEST
The EAGLE’S NEST IS A 40
FT EAGLE BUS, ORIGINALLY OWNED BY TRAIL WAYS CORP.
THE CONVERSION BEGAN WITH THE “REMOVAL” OF ALL THE SKINS, WINDOWS, WALLS,
FLOORS, RUNNING GEAR,
ENGINE, TRANSMISSION, ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS AND THE ENTIRE INTERIOR.
IT IS NOT A
PRODUCTION-LINE PRODUCT. RATHER, IT WAS INDIVIDUALLY DESIGNED AND
CUSTOM MADE.
THE PROFESSIONAL CONVERSION WAS COMPLETED IN 1990.
ITS’ MANY INNOVATIVE
FEATURES AND AWARD-WINNING PRESENTATION HAVE ATTRACTED THE ATTENTION OF
NEWSPAPER &
MAGAZINE WRITERS IN SEVERAL CITIES, WHO HAVE WRITTEN ABOUT IT. IT ALSO HAS BEEN
SELECTED AS “PEOPLES CHOICE”
AT RV RALLIES AND WITH EAGLET) HAS BEEN REQUESTED TO PARTICIPATE IN PARADES.
IT
IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, ALWAYS GARAGED, OWNED BY NON-SMOKERS, AND TRULY A
“ONE OF A KIND” CLASSIC.

PREVENTION. THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WAS

AUXILIARY TRANSPORTATION
IN ITS’- LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT, EAGLE’S NEST CARRIES A CUSTOMIZED
(ONE-0F-A KIND)1972
“LICENSED STREET-LEGAL” HONDA 600, WHICH HAS BEEN SHORTENED AND CONVERTED INTO A
CONVERTIBLE.
IT IS HOUSED IN ONE OF THE LUGGAGE COMPARTMENTS OF THE
BUS. IT’S INGRESS AND EGRESS IS PROVIDED BY A REMOTELY-CONTROLLED ELECTRICAL
WINCH.
PURCHASE PRICE OF THIS ACCESSORY IS $10,000 (IF PURCHASED WITH
THE BUS). OTHERWISE, NOT AVAILABLE.
EAGLET
EAGLET IS A “MODIFIED”
1972 HONDA 600. IT IS LICENSED AND “STREET LEGAL”
AND IS" GARAGED” IN THE FORWARD LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT OF THE BUS. ITS’
INGRESS AND EGRESS ARE VIA A REMOTELY-CONTROLLED ELECTRICALLY OPERATED
WINCH. ($10.000)
There is no rust anywhere on the coach. All skins were removed down to the
frame and any rust
found on the frame was removed & corrected.
Torsion bars are also rust-free. They were professionally encapsulated at
Southern Oregon
Diesel in Roseburg, OR. The Green Grabber Brakes were also installed at that
facility.
The little Honda car was modified in such a way that the Windshield "plugs in
and out." After it is
removed and stored in a compartment in the automobile bay, the car is driven up
on ramps and
attached to a winch, which is remotely controlled. It just slowly goes into
it's garage and is secured
for travel. You can imagine what kind of crowds that draws!
Please let me know if you have additional questions.
