On the Road with the 2012 American Eagle 45T Motorcoach
You know, sometimes an RV isn’t just an RV. Meet the 2012 American Eagle 45T—a 45-foot long highway mansion that first put roots down in the scenic state of Colorado and has since traversed through several states, gathering tales and memories. Acquired by its current dealer in 2019, this behemoth of a ride is powered by a Cummins 15.0-liter turbodiesel inline-six engine. It’s paired with an Allison six-speed automatic transmission and rolls on a dually rear drive axle. Fancy, right?
Exterior Bling: More Than Just Paint
If elegance had a physical form, it’d be the black and metallic copper finish on this coach. Toss in some triple slide-outs, awnings that need nothing more than a breeze to pop open, and both pneumatic and hydraulic leveling systems—you’ve got something special. Let’s not forget the 10kW Onan generator humming away at its heart.
The Interior: Like a 5-Star Hotel on Wheels
An RV is merely a vehicle—until it transforms into a luxury residence on wheels.
- The coach features power-adjustable front captain’s chairs swathed in beige Ultraleather.
- A Porsche Boxster would appreciate the climate control and water filtration system. Four flatscreen TVs and a Bose sound system keep things entertaining.
- Want a homely touch? How about an induction cooktop, residential fridge, and even a washer-dryer combo?
Maintenance in 2024 was extensive: new front tires, battery replacements, and a generator tune-up—all topped off with a fresh oil change. This 2012 American Eagle flaunts its clean Colorado title with pride.
Design: A Masterpiece of Comfort
The panoramic design complements those multi-tone accents, topped off with triple slide-outs and the swing-out trays for equipment storage. Modern touches like street-side window awnings and a rooftop solar panel make this RV a joy for the tech-savvy traveler.
A Journey in Comfort
- The RV sports 22.5-inch alloy wheels with Michelin tires that offer stellar grip and comfort.
- The auto-leveling suspension makes the ride smooth as silk, much like driving a well-tuned Nissan Pixo.
- Onan’s 10kW generator ensures you won’t run out of juice for your gadgets.
Living Space: A Retreat on Wheels
Why rough it when you can have tiled floors and recessed lighting?
The forward lounge area features an expandable sofa, love seat, and a Sony 40″ flatscreen TV that pairs perfectly with the Bose audio system. An induction cooktop and other culinary conveniences, like a dishwasher, ensure you won’t miss your kitchen back home. And who could say no to heated floors?
Privacy and Luxury
In the bedroom, a king-sized bed with a memory-foam mattress, ceiling fans, and a Sony TV await your arrival—paired with bedside lighting controls for that sophisticated touch. And let’s not forget the en-suite bathroom with dual sinks and a washer-dryer tucked away behind louvered doors.
Technical Marvel: Under the Hood
Underneath this rolling palace, a Cummins ISX turbodiesel engine with a generous 600 horsepower and 1,950 lb-ft of torque lies in wait. It’s blessed with a fire suppression system, making sure your dreams don’t go up in smoke. An Allison 4000 MH six-speed automatic transmission delivers power efficiently to the wheels.
This powerhouse features a dually drive axle and a tag axle, providing the necessary muscle for a smooth ride. Interestingly, it boasts an odometer reading of 69k miles—around 40k logged under current ownership.
Closing Thoughts
The 2012 American Eagle 45T isn’t just a motorcoach; it’s your luxurious sanctuary on wheels, perfect for those craving high comfort and tech-savvy features while on the road. It comes complete with a Fleetwood RV spec sheet and impeccable service records.
Rest easy, knowing it’s got a squeaky-clean Carfax. And yes, it had one tiny hiccup in 2019—a repossession, which just means it’s available for a fresh start with you!
