Hi everyone I’ve have just found and bought my eagle rv jeep back after 25 years, its not quite how I sold it but it’s still mine. Can’t stop smiling. I hope that you might be able to help me, I would really be grateful if anyone can point me in the right direction to find a rv build manual, also are there any soft tops and the Metal frame that holds it up still available. Many thanks

Well hallo there, made I see Richard and welcome aboard the forum, .
Well done on tracking down YOUR RV, was I right, the owner had it off road and lost interest? Can't be too bad a condition as it was MoT'ed not long before being SORN.
Soft tops and frames, hmmm, well none made for over 20 years so rare, I am sure one of the RV guys will help with dimensions so you can bend a bit of tubing but a soft top would have to be made. as would doors, hard top etc if missing or damaged.
Just to help anyone else in a similar situation, just how did you track it down?

Please can someone confirm my friend request, thanks Will, do--The Facebook thing resulted from a request from members to have it so I set it up so it basically runs itself, I just do the admin now.

Hi
Congratulations in finding your RV. Got a frame and roof. The hood is damaged and old but will still make a good template. Got to dig them out, but I THINK I know where they are. I don't use them as I have drilled holes and waterproofed the rest of my RV and drive round in the rain regardless as I live in Mid West Wales (it's going to rain).

Richard. Great to see you are attacking the beast and wanting a roof but I was wondering if and when you get a frame and roof you could make some drawings and post them on te forum so anyone wanting to make a frame or get a soft top made would have a pattern

That sounds like a good idea, I will be in the market to buy a hood, or having one made up. I don't need it in a hurry, just planning ahead. So if anything comes up I am interested

Some , many, years ago we tried to get an archive of parts that were hard to get such as hood patterns, frame dimensions and specifications on all screens, windows, and info an parts for conversions. Well it didn't happen apart from the windscreens and the difference in side windows etc but I would love to be able to point owner/builders in the right direction. I am sure if I was still in the UK i would have a barn full of stuff just as patterns but as my wife says, "thank heavens we are not in the UK".
Of course we still have the firm with the SS moulds in Belgium (NOT complete kits though), and no I do not know what happened to the UK TEAK one apart from they went on eBay to Wexford and RV moulds, nope.
But if I can get people, that's you guys and galls, to contribute such info I will be happy to keep it safe, digitally..

Hi Wigs for the delayed response. Yes I'm made up finding the jeep. I would be very interested in borrow/purchasing the hood and frame to have one made, if still available. Regards Sealpup

Hi Sealpup
I have a manual as well (what there is of one, not a lot). I will make a template of the frame, a piece of bent tube, a pain to send. I can ship the hood to you. Where abouts in the country do you live? We possibly could meet up instead.

Great to see some action on the forum Wiggy, that is what it is supposed to be about.
I would urge forum members to amend their profile where necessary to include location. This can b e a great help in such circumstances.

I don't think we will be meeting up, I have just seen you are in Plymouth (oh Union Street) but a good six, seven hours away. Have found the hood, not to bad a shape, certainly good for a pattern, I have boxed it ready and will enclose RV build instructions if you still want any of it? Got to get on and finish the rewire, hope you are getting on well with your shut down!

Hi George, same as Peter, really nice to hear another RV is on the road. There is quite often a long gap between people replying, me included, life getting in the way. Anyway, I have found the hood and boxed it up. Maybe it can do the rounds? I can ship it to you and you can then pass it on to Pedro or Sealpup (hi guys). It is not perfect but is in pretty good condition really. Let me know what you think and others let me know. I will take measurements and photos of the frame as it is not worth the cost of shipping.

Hi wiggy, thanks for your reply, yes I intended to get a new one made up from your pattern, I'm happy to pass it on when I have finished with it. Are you on the Eagle Facebook page? Hard to see yiu there due to different names being used lol. Regards Peter

Great to see the forum come alive, if only on one subject but that is what it is all about, helping each other. Gives me a warm glow to think all these years of toil keeping the thing going is still paying off. Thanks guys, keep it up.

Hi Pedro/Peter
Been called Wiggy since I was 6 or 7 (brother 8 years older than me that can't remember why he called me it) and I'm 53 now, so a bit weird using this but my real name is Jonathan Roberts or Ronathan Joberts to official idiots that have upset me. Please look for me on Facebook, I am sure I am there. Send me a message with your address, I can then ship you the hood and details of the frame.

Hi Wiggy, I'm not sure the Jonathan Roberts i saw with a jeep on Facebook is you lol, If you can text me on 07581083110 I can send you my address by return, also I'm curious of the status of your unregistered rv if you still have it, and what you intend doing with it. I am contemplating changing my body if one ever comes along. Regards Peter.
