Looking to upgrade my Fleetwood, Looking at American Dream\Eagle.
I have had a 93 Pace Arrow Diesel Pusher on an Oshkosh chassis for going on 10+ years. 8.3l 250HP Cummins 8.3 with the Allison World 3060 transmission, Leaf spring with Hydraulic disc on all four corners.
Did all the work myself from a head swap to new rubber roof.
Getting ready to full time & it's time to upgrade the coach. The wife & I are looking for a newer 2000 to 2007 range. REALLY been eyeballing the American Dream line of coaches. Looking for a 3+ slide and King bed but not sure what floorplan has the King bed.
I do know that the American Dream was Fleetwood's luxury coach. I really like the look, style & full paint jobs on these rigs.
I believe it will be easy for me to adjust to newer Fleetwood model. Will also be moving up to a heavier coach with Airbags & brakes.
I'd like to hear from other American Dream owners. I'll be going over what ever coach we purchase with a fine tooth comb, checking the roofline seals/calking, Interior walls & such for leaks, delam & such. Will be looking forward to inspecting the underneath as well. As you can see from my Prior coach I had the Cummins/Allison combo. Man that 8.3 mechanical Cummins with the Allison 3060 was one SWEET combo. I was getting 10MPG avarage (even towing 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee!). It's going to be REAL HARD letting go of my 93 Pace Diesel! Been a real good rig that still has a LONG way to go before retirement! LOL
Thanks All
Looking forward to the emails.
