HERE is your best response of all. I own a Monaco DP and would take the Eagle over the Diplomat all day long, IF it is the floor plan you want.

The Eagle was the flagship of the American Coach/Fleetwood DP line-up in 97.
Only the best available materials and components were used, they are basically "overbuilt" and designed to be very easy to operate. They are one big "Easy Button" to own, operate and maintain.
At 101K the engine is just broken in, tranmission the same. If the house items show no wear that is a prime indicator of being well looked after IMHO.
The pantograph cargo doors, excellent thermal and acoustical insulation on the Eagles are a plus. Most Eagles came with upgraded furniture, sliding cargo trays etc.
The mechanical Cummins C8.3 engine is an excellent powerplant.
Check the Eagle's ball-joints and it should basically pass muster as a rust free and leak free coach.
As a vintage Eagle owner I am not objective....just been real pleased with our first and last coach.
