It would be nice to have a furnace and possibly a stove although that is not a priority.

Janice, have you thought of adding a propex furnace and other mods to your Eagle shell. We have a RANGER with an Eagle shell, over the last few years I have added a number of cabinets. The first mod was a cabinet by the door which contains a Proper furnace, one burner stove and space for all our cooking gear. We mostly cook outside and can easily grab the two boxes that hold our cooking gear, but if bad weather forces us inside we can do smoke meals on the one burner stove. Just a thought.
I don't think you'll have a problem selling your Eagle if you go that route. Good luck.

Here are photos of the kitchen cabinet open, closed and with the furnace showing, also the propane regulator. The one burner stove runs off a 1 lb propane tank or butane cartridge, can be taken outside. It sits on a removable large flat pan, (cookie sheet size) to catch spills and easy cleanup. The furnace runs off an external 10lb propane tank and is plumbed with a regulator and quick connect. Combustion air and Exhaust is vented thru the floor of the Eagle and then thru the bed of the truck.
I'm in the process of making a change to the way the lid opens and also going to replace the visible wood with birch plywood for a better look, but functionally it will be pretty much the same. I'll document my built on this forum when I finish a couple more things. I keep making minor changes.
I can't access my spare tire with my tail gate in the down position, so I removed it.
Good luck with whatever you decide to do, there are lots of great builds on this forum.
