First time poster. Just picked up my first rv over the weekend. Starting this to keep track of needed repairs and to get the rv ready for travel. Looking forward to gathering info from this site.

Nice looking Eagle!
We have quite a few members that own vintage Eagles, Dreams and Traditions that are willing to share their knowledge when you have questions.
It would be great if you would add additional information to your signature. Rig details and location being the most important.
Welcome to the Forum!

Was able to rearrange the garage and fit the rv inside over the weekend. Spent quite a bit of time cleaning the interior and learning how everything works. Removed the couch and dinette chairs and replaced them. Ordered all new interior bulbs to convert to led. Next up will be changing fluids and servicing the generator

Nice. I really like the interior without all the mirrors they put in like my '99. Your interior shot has confirmed I need to start removing mine this spring.

Meames1, I agree the mirrors were nice in the beginning, but now they must go. They are so hard to keep clean especially around the stove area.

Maik, I just picked up her twin last month. Mine needs a bunch more work than yours, so I am interested in what you have in store. We still have the original interior and I have the basement rust out that Meames1 did such a great job repairing.

Welcome, CB, and congrats on the American Coach! There's quite a few of us "vintage" AC owners on here, so you're amongst friends. Keep us posted on your repairs and upgrades, and enjoy the MH life - it's the best!

Nice! I’m curious what couch you used? And did you replace the opposite side also? If so, with what? And how does the clearance feel? Did you lose any walkway space? Thanks!

Found a small leak in the radiator. Removal only took a few hours and was not terrible. Next will be painting some of the removed parts while waiting on repair/replacement.

Not too sure on the brand. It was from a previous rv and I can't find my paperwork on it. It had similar dimensions to the existing couch, walkway space is about the same. On the other side i kept the 2 original chairs that swivel.
