We sold our 2008 Eagle in 2015 after traveling throughout North and Central America with it. We loved that little camper, but selling it helped us get started in our new hometown of Grand Junction, Colorado. The Eagle took one for the team!

We still have the Tundra, and acquired a 2005 Casita trailer 2 years ago. This year it never left the driveway. All of our camping this year was done in a tent with the Tundra. That Tundra just won't quit! We are thinking it may be time to admit the Casita does not go where we want to go, and sell it to fund another used Eagle. The Tundra/Eagle combo has been our favorite and most reliable rig to date.

If you know of an Eagle that might be coming up for sale....please let us know. We are open to other models, but the Eagle was such a great fit on our 2002 Tundra. It kept us narrow and able to drive tight roads without ripping the sides off.

Thank you!

Maybe an ATC Bobcat would serve your needs.

Bobcat only 6" wider then Eagle.

Our Bobcat is on a 2002 Tundra works great

Although a Bobcat might be as hard to find as an Eagle.

Thanks Frank, we would definitely consider an ATC if one became available. So far, haven't seen any. That said...we really liked the fact that our Eagle sat flush with the Tundra bedrails. We drove through some really tight spots.

Actually the Bobcat doesn't stick out past the bed side.No problems

with that and you get a little extra width.Helps a little inside.

The Bobcat doesn't stick out past the body so you don't need extra wide mirrors.

Keep your eyes open and watch this site.Be quick if you see one.

A new member just ordered a new Bobcat delivery is next June.Yuck.

Thanks again for the advice Frank. After giving it some thought, and considering the recent Bobcat listed here for sale....we have decided to stick with our Eagle search. We hope to find one with the 6'4" interior too. Need to figure out what year that became standard interior height so we can narrow our search.
