     5.   SEVERABILITY.  If any provision of this Note is invalid by operation

end the provisions of this Note are declared to be severable.

     6.   GOVERNING LAW.  This Note shall be governed by and construed in

     8.   FORBEARANCE NOT A WAIVER.  No delay or omission on the part of the
          ------------------------
Holder in exercising any rights under this Note, on default by Holiday RV, shall

by written notice to the Holder.  Any notice to the Holder shall be given by
personal delivery or by mailing such notice by first class or certified mail,
return receipt requested, to the Holder at the address stated in the first

     10.  OPTIONAL CONVERSION OF NOTE. This Note, including principal and
          ---------------------------
interest, may be converted, in part or in whole, at the Holder's option, into
fully paid Common Stock at any time after two (2) years from the date of this
Note.  The number of shares of Common Stock into which this Note may be
converted (the "Conversion Shares") shall be determined by dividing the
                -----------------
aggregate principal amount by the Conversion Price (as set forth below) in
effect at the time of such conversion.  At the time of any conversion, all
accumulated and unpaid interest on the principal amount converted will be paid
to the Holder.  The Conversion Price shall be SEVEN AND 50/100THS DOLLARS
($7.50) per share.

          10.1 Conversion Procedure; Notice of Conversion.  Before the Holder
               ------------------------------------------
shall be entitled to convert this Note into shares of the Common Stock, it shall
surrender this Note at the office of Holiday RV and shall give written notice by
mail, postage prepaid, to Holiday RV at its principal corporate office, of the
election to convert the same.  Holiday RV shall, as soon as practicable
thereafter,

                                       2
<PAGE>

issue and deliver by mail to the Holder a certificate or certificates for the
number of shares of the Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled as
aforesaid (bearing such legends as are required by applicable state and federal
securities laws in the opinion of counsel to Holiday RV), together with any
other securities to which the Holder is entitled upon such conversion under the
terms of this Note, including a check payable to the Holder for any cash amounts
payable as described in Section 10.3. Such conversion shall be deemed to have
                        ------------
been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such
surrender of this Note, and the Holder shall be treated for all purposes as the
record holder or holders of such shares of the Common Stock as of such date.
Holiday RV will forthwith reissue a new Note to the Holder for the balance of
the Note not converted, if any. In connection therewith, the Holder will execute
an Investment Agreement provided by Holiday RV to assure Holiday RV's compliance
with State and Federal securities laws.

          10.2 Delivery of Stock Certificates.  As promptly as practicable after
               ------------------------------
the conversion of this Note, Holiday RV at its expense will issue and deliver to
the Holder a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common
Stock issuable upon such conversion.

          10.3 Mechanics and Effect of Conversion.  No fractional shares of the
               ----------------------------------
Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of this Note.  In lieu of Holiday
RV issuing any fractional shares to the Holder upon the conversion of this Note,
Holiday RV shall pay to the Holder the amount of outstanding principal that is
not so converted because of a fractional share, such payment to be in the form
as provided below.  Upon the conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section
                                                                      -------
10, the Holder shall surrender this Note, duly endorsed, at the principal office
--
of Holiday RV.  At its expense, Holiday RV shall, as soon as practicable
thereafter, issue and deliver to such Holder by mail a certificate or
certificates for the number of shares of the Common Stock to which the Holder
shall be entitled upon such conversion.  Upon conversion of this Note, Holiday
RV shall be forever released from all of its obligations and liabilities under
this Note (or the portion thereof converted if less than the entire principal
amount is converted), except that Holiday RV shall be obligated to pay the
Holder, within ten (10) days after the date of such conversion, any interest
accrued and unpaid or unconverted to and including the date of such conversion,
and will reissue a new Note to the Holder in the same form as this Note to
represent the portion of this Note not so converted by the Holder, or to pay the
balance of the Note in cash at the option of Holiday RV.

          10.4 Conversion Price Adjustments.
               ----------------------------

               10.4.1    Adjustment for Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, and Sub-
                         -----------------------------------------------------
divisions.  In the event Holiday RV should at any time, or from time to time
---------
after the date of issuance hereof, fix a record date for the effectuation of a
split or subdivision of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock or the
determination of holders of the Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or
other distribution payable in additional shares of the Common Stock, or other
securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to
receive directly or indirectly additional shares of the Common Stock
(hereinafter referred to as the "Common Stock Equivalents") without payment of
any consideration by such holder for the additional shares of the Common Stock
(or the Common Stock Equivalents issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof)
then, as of such record date (or the date of such dividend distribution, split
or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the Conversion Price shall be
appropriately

                                       3
<PAGE>

decreased so that the number of shares of the Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of this Note shall be increased in proportion to such increase of
outstanding shares.

               10.4.2    Adjustments for Reverse Stock Splits.  If the number of
                         ------------------------------------
shares of the Common Stock outstanding at any time after the date hereof is
decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock then,
following the record date of such combination, the Conversion Price shall be
appropriately increased so that the number of shares of the Common Stock
issuable on conversion hereof shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease
in outstanding shares.

               10.4.3    Notices of Record Date, Etc.  In the event of:
                         ----------------------------

                         (a)  Any taking by Holiday RV of a record of the
     holders of any class of securities of Holiday RV for the purpose of
     determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend
     (other than a cash dividend payable out of earned surplus at the same rate
     as that of the last such cash dividend theretofore paid) or other
     distribution, or any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire
     any shares of stock of any class of any other securities or property, or to
     receive any other right; or

                         (b)  Any voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
     liquidation or winding up of Holiday RV.

     Holiday RV will mail to the Holder at least ten (10) days prior to the
     earliest date specified therein, a notice specifying:

                              (i)   The date on which any such record is to be
     taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and the
     amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right; and

                              (ii)  The date on which any such reorganization,
     reclassification, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation
     or winding up is expected to become effective and the record date for
     determining shareholders entitled to vote thereon.

          10.5 Reservation of Stock Issuable Under Conversion.  Holiday RV shall
               ----------------------------------------------
at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued
shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of
this Note, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall, from time to
time, be sufficient to effect the conversion of this Note; and if at any time
the number of authorized but unissued shares of the Common Stock, for issuance
on conversion of such Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the
conversion of the entire outstanding principal amount of this Note, in addition
to such other remedies as shall be available to the holder of this Note, Holiday
RV will use its best efforts to take such corporate actions as may, in the
opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued
shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such
purposes.
