American Eagles had fiberglass roofs in 1998. The difference between the pre-2001 Eagles and Dreams are as follows.
-Eagles have fiberglass roofs, Dreams were fiberglass in 99.
-Eagles have the genny on a slide-out, makes it very easy to service.
-Eagles have the pantograph cargo doors.
-Eagles have a 25HP higher rated engine than the Dreams
-Eagles are more apt to have upgrades, (real leather furniture, slide-out trays in the storage bays, larger inverter etc).
You can get 2 slides in the Eagle starting in 99, I think the same likely applies to the Dreams.
I am a big fan of late 90's thru 2000 Eagles and Dreams, very well built, designed and convenient use of all systems. Generally "overbuilt" and a dream to drive on the Spartan Mountain Master chassis. Once you get everything dialed in (correct tire pressures, alignment and ride-height set correctly) you will not even feel the truck and bus "bow waves" when they pass. Effortless driving
IMHO.
A 99 or 2000 Eagle are Dream will be well below your budget.
