INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

Coachmen is filing this Form 10-Q/A for the quarterly period ended September
30, 1999 to restate the nine-month financial information as a result of a
change in the Company's method of accounting for costs associated with its
self-insured group medical plan and a related restatement of the previous
quarter's financial statements. The restatement had the effect of decreasing
pretax income by $1,000,000 and net income by $655,000, or $0.04 per common
share (basic and diluted), for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999.
At September 30, 1999 the restatement increased current deferred income tax
assets by $937,000, increased accrued insurance by $2,718,000 and decreased
retained earnings by $1,781,000. The December 31, 1998 consolidated balance
sheet amounts were also restated for the effect of the change on prior years'
financial statements, i.e., an increase in accrued insurance of $1,718,000,
an increase in current deferred tax assets by $592,000 and a decrease in
retained earnings by $1,126,000. See Note 2 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements.

This Form 10-Q contains certain statements that are "forward-
looking" statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended.  These forward looking statements involve risks and
uncertainties, and are dependent on factors which may include, but are
not limited to, the availability of gasoline, which can impact sales of
recreational vehicles; availability of chassis, which are used in the
production of many of the Company's recreational vehicle products;
interest rates, which affect the affordability of the Company's
products; government laws and regulations, particularly related to
safety, distribution and franchising, which may affect the way
business is conducted; and also on the state of the recreational vehicle
and modular housing industries in the United States.  Other factors
affecting forward-looking statements include competition in these
industries and the Company's ability to maintain or increase gross
margins which are critical to profitability whether there are or are
not increased sales; and the Company's ability to implement its new
enterprise-wide technology system or make its software and equipment
Year 2000 compliant.
At times, the Company's actual performance differs from its
projections and estimates regarding the economy, the recreational
vehicle and housing industries and other key performance indicators.
Readers of this Report are cautioned that reliance on any forward-
looking statements involves risks and uncertainties.  Although the
Company believes that the assumptions on which the forward-looking
statements contained herein are reasonable, any of those assumptions
could prove to be inaccurate given the inherent uncertainties as to the
occurrence or nonoccurrence of future events.  There can be no assurance
that the forward-looking statements contained in this Report will prove
to be accurate.  The inclusion of a forward-looking statement herein
should not be regarded as a representation by the Company that the
Company's objectives will be achieved.

         NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  The consolidated balance sheet data at December 31, 1998 was
    derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all
    disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.

2.  In the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company changed its method of
    accounting for costs associated with its self-insured group medical
    plan. Previously, the Company accounted for costs associated with its
    self-insured group medical plan on a "pay-as-you-go" basis and
    capitalized advances to the medical trust when additional Company
    contributions were required to fund claims in excess of expected levels.
    This accounting method was not in accordance with generally accepted
    accounting principles ("GAAP"), although the variance from GAAP was not
    material to the Company's consolidated financial statements. With the
    issuance of Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff Accounting
    Bulletin No. 99 on materiality, the Company elected to change its
    accounting method to conform with GAAP. In connection with this
    accounting change, the Company restated retained earnings as of
    January 1, 1998, and the effect of the adjustment was to decrease
    retained earnings by $1,126,000. The restatement had no significant
    effect on previously reported results of operations or cash flows for
    the year ended December 31, 1998, since the unrecorded accrual for
    incurred but not reported claims and the amount advanced to the medical
    trust had remained relatively constant in 1998. The accounting change
    also results in a restatement of the Company's second and third quarter
    consolidated financial statements to expense a $1,000,000 contribution
    to the medical trust in the second quarter which was capitalized under
    the previous accounting method. The effect of the restatement for the
    nine-month period ended September 30, 1999 was to recognize $1,000,000
    of insurance expense (increase cost of goods sold - $700,000, increase
    selling and delivery expense - $200,000 and increase general and
    administrative expense - $100,000), decrease income taxes by $345,000
    and decrease net income by $655,000. The following summarizes the
    impact of the restatement on the assets, liabilities and shareholders'
    equity at September 30, 1999 and on the results of operations for the

3.  In the opinion of management, the information furnished herein
    includes all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature necessary
    to reflect a fair statement of the interim periods reported. The
    results of operations for the three and nine months ended
    September 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results to
    be expected for the full year.

5.  The Company was contingently liable at September 30, 1999 to banks
    and other financial institutions on repurchase agreements in
    connection with financing provided by such institutions to most of
    the Company's independent dealers in connection with their purchase
    of the Company's recreational vehicle products. These agreements
    provide for the Company to repurchase its products from the
    financing institution in the event that they have repossessed them
    upon a dealer's default. The risk of loss resulting from these
    agreements is spread over the Company's numerous dealers and is
    further reduced by the resale value of the products repurchased.
    The Company is involved in various legal proceedings which are
    ordinary litigations incidental to the industry and which are
    covered in whole or in part by insurance. Management believes that
    any liability which may result from these proceedings will not be
    significant.

6.  In 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about
    Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." The Company
    has determined that its reportable segments are those that are based
    on the Company's method of internal reporting, which disaggregates
    its business by product category. The Company's two reportable


<PAGE> 9
    segments are: Vehicles (recreational, vans and specialized),
    including related parts and supplies, and Housing (modular). The
    Company evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates
    resources to them based on pretax income. Differences between
    reported segment amounts and corresponding consolidated totals
    represent corporate expenses for administrative functions and costs
    or expenses relating to property and equipment that are not
    allocated to segments.

    The table below presents information about segments used by the
    chief operating decision maker of the Company for the nine months
    ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 (in thousands):

7.  Change in Accounting Principle

    Effective January 1, 1999, the Company adopted SOP 98-1, Accounting
    for Costs of Computer Software. For years beginning after December
    15, 1998, SOP 98-1 requires internal and external costs incurred to
    develop internal-use computer software during the application
    development stage to be capitalized and amortized over the
    software's useful life. During the quarter and nine months ended
    September 30, 1999, the Company capitalized $609,000 and $2,272,000,
    respectively, of internal costs which previously would have been
    expensed under generally accepted accounting principles. These
    capitalized internal costs are related to the Company's new
    enterprise-wide technology system which is currently being
    implemented. The effect of this change in accounting principle for
    the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1999 was to increase
    net income by approximately $394,000 and $1,493,000, respectively,
    or $.02 per share (basic and diluted) for the quarter and $.09 per
    share (basic and diluted) for the nine months.

NET SALES

Consolidated net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 were
$226.1 million, an increase of 11.6% over the $202.6 million reported
for the corresponding quarter last year.  Net sales for the nine months
were $640.3 million, representing an increase of 10.5% over the $579.3
million reported for the same period in 1998. The Company's vehicle
segment experienced a net sales increase of 9.9% for the quarter and a
net sales increase of 8.5% for the nine months. The net sales increase
for the third quarter reflects a number of unit sales that were delayed
from the second quarter due to problems with the implementation of a new
enterprise-wide technology system in several of the Company's operations
and other unrelated supplier problems. The increase in net sales for the
nine months is attributed to the overall increases in the recreational
vehicle market. The Company's housing segment had a net sales increase
for the 1999 quarter of 19.7% and 20.8% for the nine months with growing
demand for the Company's modular housing products and also as the result
of increased capacity.

COST OF GOODS SOLD

Cost of goods sold increased 13.7% or $23.4 million for the three
months and 11.9% or $58.9 million for the nine months ended September
30, 1999.  The increase for both periods is higher than the increase in
net sales. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold increased
1.6% and 1.1% for the quarter and nine months, respectively, from the
comparable prior year periods.  While the housing segment experienced a
decrease in the percentage of cost of goods sold to net sales, the
overall percentage increases are attributable to the RV segment. These
percentages reflect the impact of a sales mix with increased motorized
products, which has a higher cost of goods sold percentage due to the
chassis and also due to implementation related costs and inefficiencies
associated with the Company's investment in new enterprise-wide
technology and operating systems, as well as, the costs associated with
the start-up of a new Class A production facility in Indiana.

OPERATING EXPENSES

As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses, which include selling,
delivery, general and administrative expenses, were 7.2% for the 1999
quarter and 7.8% for the nine months while for the comparable periods
they were 7.9% for the 1998 quarter and 8.4% for the 1998 nine months.
Selling and delivery expenses, as a percentage of net sales, decreased
by .2% for the quarter with no change for the 1999 and 1998 nine months.
The change for the quarter is primarily due to a slight decrease in
selling expenses. General and administrative expenses were 2.6% of net
sales for the third quarter compared to 3.2% for the 1998 corresponding
quarter and 3.1% of net sales for the nine-month period compared to 3.7%
for 1998.  These decreases in both the quarter and nine-month periods
primarily reflect the capitalization of compensation and related costs
with the implementation the new enterprise-wide technology systems. (see
Note 6 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements regarding
Change in Accounting Principle).

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense was $531,000 and $1,508,000 for the three and nine-
month periods in 1999 compared to $641,000 and $1,444,000 in the same
periods last year. Interest expense varies with the amount of long-term
debt and the increase in cash surrender value for the Company's
investment in life insurance contracts.  These life insurance contracts

<PAGE> 12
were purchased to fund obligations under deferred compensation
agreements with executives and other key employees.  The interest costs
associated with deferred compensation obligations and with the
borrowings against the cash value of the insurance policies are
partially offset by the increases in cash surrender values.

INVESTMENT INCOME

Investment income decreased $933,000 and $2,082,000 respectively, for
the 1999 three and nine-month periods. This decrease in investment
income is principally due to the reduction in interest income as the
result of less funds being invested in the 1999 periods.

GAIN (LOSS) ON THE SALE OF PROPERTIES, NET

There was a net gain on the sale of properties for the third quarter of
1999 of $37,000 compared with a loss of $11,000 in the same quarter
of 1998.  The net gain (loss) on the sale of properties was $1,432,000
and $(55,000) for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. The gain for the 1999 nine months was substantially due to
the sale of real estate in Indiana, including the corporate
administrative building. Assets are continually analyzed and every
effort is made to sell or dispose of properties that are determined to
be unproductive.

OTHER INCOME, NET

Other income, net, represents income of $81,000 for the third quarter
and $1,130,000 for the nine months compared to income of $192,000 and
$1,127,000 for the 1998 third quarter and nine months, respectively. The
most significant item of income for the nine months was from the sale of
a Company-owned dealership in the state of Georgia. The principal amount
in the 1998 nine months is attributed to the receipt of nontaxable
income realized from corporate owned life insurance proceeds.

INCOME TAXES

For the third quarter ended September 30, 1999, the effective tax rate
was 35.3% and a year-to-date rate of 34.3% compared with a 1998 third
quarter and year-to-date effective tax rate of 34.9% and 33.9%,
respectively. The Company's effective tax rate fluctuates based upon the
states where sales occur, with the level of export sales and also with
the level of nontaxable income recognized from investing activities.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company generally relies on funds from operations as its primary
source of liquidity.  In addition, the Company maintains an unsecured
committed line of credit, which totaled $30 million at September 30,
1999, to meet its seasonal working capital needs.  At September 30,
1999, there were no borrowings against this line of credit. For the nine
months ended September 30, 1999, the major source of cash was from
operating activities. The significant items in operating activities
which generated positive cash flow were net income, depreciation and an
increase in trade accounts payable. The positive cash flow from these
items was partially offset by increases in trade receivables and
inventories. Investing activities reflected a net cash use of $18.9
million. The principal use of cash in investing activities was the
acquisition of property and equipment, including the acquisition of a
new corporate administration facility in Indiana, a new addition and
remodeling costs at an RV manufacturing facility in Georgia and the

<PAGE> 13
acquisition of machinery and equipment for the Company's parts &
supply group. Software and additional hardware requirements in connection
with the Company's implementation of its new enterprise-wide technology
system were also significant uses of cash for investing activities. The
negative cash flow from financing activities was primarily for purchases of
common shares for the treasury, cash dividends and repayment of long-term debt.

At September 30, 1999, there was a slight decrease in working capital,
to $137.2 million from $138.6 million at December 31, 1998. The $25.5
million increase in current assets at September 30, 1999 versus December
31, 1998, was primarily due to increased trade receivables and
inventories. The $26.9 million increase in current liabilities was
principally attributable to increased trade accounts payable. The
increases in trade receivables, inventories and trade accounts payable
are directly related to the increased sales activity and in part are
attributable to the implementation of the new enterprise-wide technology
system, i.e. the system has temporarily impacted the process for billing
and collecting receivables, as well as, monitoring inventory levels.

Year 2000

The Year 2000 issue relates to the way computer systems, software and
some equipment define calendar dates; they could fail or make
miscalculations due to interpreting a date including "00" to mean 1900,
not 2000. In 1997, the Company determined that certain of its computer
software was originally programmed using two digits rather than four to
define the applicable year. As a result, this software could have been
unable to process transactions beyond December 31, 1999. If correction
or replacement of the software was not completed in a timely manner, the
Year 2000 issue could have a material impact on the Company's operations
and could result in an interruption in, or failure of, certain normal
business activities or operations.

The assessment phase of the Company's software, systems and equipment
began in 1997. It was initially determined that the systems most likely
to be affected by the Year 2000 issue were the general accounting
systems and payroll. To remedy the Year 2000 issue with regard to
these areas, the Company began devoting significant resources to replace
the affected software with a new enterprise-wide technology system. As
of September 30, 1999, the implementation status of general accounting
systems and payroll is 100% complete for the entire Company. The
implementation of the manufacturing and distribution portions of the
enterprise-wide technology system is complete for four divisions of the
RV segment. One additional division from this segment will be complete
for manufacturing and distribution systems as of November 1, 1999. The
implementation of these systems for the remaining divisions in the RV
and Housing segments will be halted or delayed until the year 2000. For
those divisions that will not be transferred to the new manufacturing
and distribution systems in 1999, the Company's existing software is
being reprogrammed to be Year 2000 compliant. The Company estimates that
this process is 80% complete at September 30, 1999. Testing and
implementation of the new enterprise-wide technology system and
reprogrammed legacy systems of the Company is occurring on an ongoing
basis throughout 1999 and is expected to be complete in adequate time to
enable proper processing of transactions throughout the Company before
January 1, 2000.

The Company also initiated a senior management focus team in 1998 to
identify and review other possible business system failures that could
occur and to assess the need for contingency plans.  The focus team has

<PAGE> 14
determined that the Company's equipment with embedded systems is Year
2000 compliant. The focus team does not believe the Company's equipment
is, for the most part, calendar-date sensitive.

The Company believes the key risk factors associated with Year 2000 are
those from outside the Company that it cannot directly control, such as
the readiness of its key material suppliers, dealers, customers,
financial institutions and public infrastructure suppliers. The Company
relies on third parties to provide goods and services necessary for the
manufacture and distribution of its products. The focus team has
prioritized and communicated with third-party suppliers about the status
of their compliance with Year 2000 issues. The Company has been assured
by 100% of its high priority mission critical suppliers that they are
Year 2000 compliant. The Company sells its products to numerous
independent dealers. Management believes the risk associated with Year
2000 compliance by the dealers is minimized since the risk is spread
among the dealers. Despite their assurances, due to the uncertainty of
the Year 2000 readiness of third parties, the Company is unable to
determine whether the consequences of Year 2000 failures of third
parties will have a material impact on the Company's operations. The
worst case scenario could include halting of production due to the
inability of a single source supplier to deliver critical product or
component. The largest exposure appears to be the Company's interface
with chassis manufacturers for order processing. The Company believes
these order processing systems to be Year 2000 compliant based on
statements from representatives of the companies involved. The chassis
suppliers have also advised the Company that the chassis are Year 2000
compliant. While the Company has obtained assurance from its mission
critical third parties that they will be compliant, there can be no
assurance that the systems of any third party on which the Company's
operations rely will be timely compliant. Nevertheless, based on their
assurances, the Company does not anticipate a material impact on its
operations from direct interfaces with third parties.

The Company believes the worst case scenario for Year 2000 issues would
be the disruption or unavailability of utility services. This could
hinder or stop the performance of normal business functions, such as
manufacturing and selling, and might disrupt retail demand. However, due
to the multiple business locations of the Company, its manufacturing
facilities, and its owned and independent retail outlets, normal
business functions could continue at those locations where utility
disruptions or unavailability did not occur. If they do occur, it is
expected they will be temporary, and some utility services may be
available from remote locations, as through electric grids.

The focus team has developed contingency plans to protect the Company's
facilities from damage due to the disruption or unavailability of
utility services, from interruptions of the supply of components
critical to ongoing production, and to protect the electronic
information it relies upon to conduct its business. Steps necessary to
implement those plans are being taken and the Company believes that the
plans will be ready for implementation if necessary, before December 31,
1999.

Based on a review of its products by segment, vehicles and housing, the
Company has determined that the products it has sold and will continue
to sell should not require remediation to be Year 2000 compliant.
Accordingly, the Company does not believe that the Year 2000 presents a
material exposure as it relates to the Company's products.

The objective of the Company and each of its operating subsidiaries is

<PAGE> 15
to have all of their significant business systems, including those that
affect facilities and manufacturing activities, functioning properly
with respect to Year 2000, before January 1, 2000. At September 30,
1999, the total cost is currently estimated to be in excess of $11.9
million, exclusive of some uncapitalized internal labor costs.
Approximately $9.8 million has been incurred as of September 30, 1999.
Of the amount incurred, $1.9 million has been expensed and $7.9 million
has been capitalized for new systems and equipment. In addition, the
Company estimates it has incurred approximately $2.1 million in
