Hi Randy - welcome to our forum.

There are no commercial hitches for Eagle buses that I am aware of. Most of us build our own or have someone fabricate one for us.

There is a good thread on the subject here: http://eagles-international.net/forums/ ... ?f=5&t=350. That is a older thread and I had to rebuild the photo links from some old files. I think it is in pretty good shape now.

Most any welding shop that is familiar with fabricating trailer hitches should be able to build a good hitch for you if they follow the suggestions in the above thread.

I think you might have a DDEC engine. If that is the case, be sure to have the person doing the welding disconnect the wire connections on the ECM.

After you look over the referenced thread, let us know if you have any questions.

Jim

Randy, I forgot to address your question about bus rallies on the east coast. There are no Eagle rallies scheduled in that area. However, there is a great rally in Arcadia, FL the last of December: http://arcadiarally.com/.

It has been a few years since I attended, but it is a great rally with lots of buses (including quite a few Eagles in the past years).
