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 and price 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; the functioning of the Company's enterprise-wide
technology system, which can impact the Company's day-to-day operations;
legislation governing the relationships of the Company with its
recreational vehicle dealers, which may affect the Company's options and
liabilities in the event of a general economic downturn; 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.

At times, the Company's actual performance differs materially 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.

                          (in thousands)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated balance sheet data at December 31, 1999 was
derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all
disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.

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-month periods ended
September 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results to
be expected for the full year.


2. SEGMENT 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 segments are: Vehicles (recreational), 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 three and
nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999:

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during
the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net
income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding plus the dilutive effect of stock options and stock
awards.

The sum of quarterly earnings per share for the three quarters may
not equal year-to-date earnings per share due to rounding and
changes in the diluted potential common shares.

5. ACQUISITION OF A BUSINESS
Effective June 30, 2000, the Company acquired all of the issued and
outstanding capital stock of Mod-U-Kraf Homes, Inc. ("Mod-U-Kraf"),
a manufacturer of modular housing located in Virginia. The purchase
price aggregated $14,975,000 and consisted of $9,700,000 of cash
paid at closing and the assumption of $5,275,000 of liabilities.
The purchase price approximated the fair value of acquired assets.
The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly,
the operating results of Mod-U-Kraf are included in the Company's
consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.
Mod-U-Kraf operates as a separate subsidiary under the Company's
housing segment.

Unaudited pro forma financial information as if this acquisition had
occurred at the beginning of each period is not presented, as it is
not materially different from the Company's historic results.

6. SALE OF A BUSINESS
During the quarter ended September 30, 2000, the Company exited the
furniture business with the sale of the business operations and
assets of its Lux Company subsidiary. The pretax gain on sale, which
was primarily attributable to the sale of real property,
approximated $1.2 million.

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company was contingently liable at September 30, 2000 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
PAGE 7
ordinary litigation 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.

In addition, the Company was contingently liable at September 30,
2000 under guarantees to financial institutions of their loans to
independent dealers for amounts totaling approximately $15.3
million.

On February 3, 2000, the Company entered into Change of Control
Agreements with 25 key executives. Under the terms of these
agreements, in the event of a change in control of the Company, as
defined, the Company would be obligated to pay these key executives
for severance and other benefits aggregating approximately $16
million based on salaries and benefits at September 30, 2000.


Also, on February 3, 2000, the Company established a rabbi trust,
which in the event of a change of control, as defined, will be
funded to cover the Company's obligations under its deferred
compensation plan and the Company's obligation under change of
control agreements. The Company's obligations under the deferred
compensation plan aggregated $7.6 million at September 30, 2000.

On May 4, 2000, shareholders approved the 2000 Omnibus Stock
Incentive Program (the "Stock Incentive  Program") which provides an
additional one million shares be reserved for grant under the
Company's stock options, appreciation rights and award programs.
The Stock Incentive Program also provides that, in the event
of a change in control of the Company, as defined, all outstanding
stock options and stock appreciation rights shall become immediately
exercisable, all stock awards shall immediately vest and all
performance goals shall be deemed fully achieved. The Board of
Directors later amended the Stock Incentive Program to make it clear
that the option price of options cannot be changed after the options
are granted.

8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 6, 2000, the Company entered into a three-year credit
Agreement with Banc One, N.A., as agent. The credit agreement
provides for unsecured borrowings of $155.0 million which borrowings
will bear interest at a floating rate or eurodollar rate.

On October 31, 2000, the Company completed the acquisition of Miller
Building Systems, Inc. ("Miller") for approximately $27 million in
cash plus the assumption of liabilities. Miller designs,
manufactures and markets factory-built buildings for use as
commercial modular buildings and telecommunication shelters. For its
fiscal year ended July 1, 2000, Miller had net sales of $71.0
million. The acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase.

9. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In December 1999, the staff of the Securities and Exchange
Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101,
"Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." SAB No. 101 outlines
the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and
provides guidelines for disclosure related to revenue recognition
PAGE 8


policies. This guidance is required to be implemented in the fourth
quarter of 2000. The Company is currently reviewing the guidance to
determine the impact, if any, on its consolidated financial
statements.

NET SALES

Consolidated net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 were
$182.7 million, a decrease of 19.2% from the $226.1 million reported for
the corresponding quarter last year.  Net sales for the nine months were
$565.8 million, representing a decrease of 11.6% from the $640.3 million
reported for the same period in 1999. The Company's vehicle segment,
which includes the parts & supply business, experienced a net sales
decrease of 24.6% for the quarter and a decrease of 15.6% for the nine
months. For motorized products, both the number of units and sales
dollars reflected decreases from the 1999 periods. There has been an
industry-wide decrease in sales of motorized products during the three
and nine-month comparable periods. For towable products, the number of
units sold by the Company as well as the sales dollars, are down for
both comparable periods. The Company's housing segment reported a net
sales increase for the 2000 quarter of 3.6% and 6.7% for the nine
months. Although there was an increase in sales dollars for both
periods, the number of units sold in both periods decreased.

COST OF SALES

Cost of sales decreased 17.3% or $33.8 million for the three months
and 10.3% or $57.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.
The decrease for both periods is less than the decrease in net sales. As
a percentage of net sales, cost of sales increased 2.0% and 1.2% for the
quarter and nine months, respectively, from the comparable prior year
periods. Both the RV segment and Housing segment experienced an increase
in cost of sales as a percentage of net sales. Gross profit was
adversely impacted by inefficiencies attributable to reduced production
as higher fixed costs are spread over lower production volumes.
Increases in capacity for both the RV segment and Housing segment were
not utilized to the extent anticipated as net sales continued to be
below planned levels.

OPERATING EXPENSES

As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses, which include selling,
delivery, general and administrative expenses, were 10.7% and 9.8% for
the 2000 quarter and nine months compared to 7.2% for the quarter and
7.8% for the nine months of 1999. Selling and delivery expenses as a
percentage of net sales increased by 1.6% for the 2000 quarter and .9%
for the nine months. The increase for both periods is primarily due to
an overall increase in dealer sales incentives, in both the RV and
Housing segments. The Company responded to discounting in the RV
marketplace with strong incentives and marketing programs designed to
stimulate retail sales. General and administrative expenses were 4.5% of
net sales for the third quarter compared to 2.6% for the 1999
corresponding quarter and 4.2% of net sales for the nine-month period
compared to 3.1% for 1999. The increases in the percentages of general
and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales also results from
the fixed nature of the costs being spread over lower sales volumes. In
addition, during 1999 certain compensation and other related costs were
capitalized in connection with the implementation of the new technology
system which decreased 1999 compensation costs. In 2000, these
compensation costs are period costs. along with increased amortization
and depreciation expense associated with the new technology system.
General and administrative expenses for the nine-month period of 2000
also include costs in connection with an unsolicited acquisition
proposal and a related proxy contest.
PAGE 11
INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense was $545,000 and $1,600,000 for the three and nine-
month periods in 2000 compared to $531,000 and $1,508,000 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
are used 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 increased $320,000 for the 2000 three-month period.
This increase is attributable to additional interest income on increased
temporary cash investments and a decrease in unrealized losses on
investment securities from the prior year period. The decrease of
$703,000 in investment income for the 2000 nine-month period is
principally attributable to unrealized losses on open US Treasury bond
futures options, as well as, a reduction of interest and dividend income
resulting from less funds being invested for the comparable period in
1999.

GAIN ON THE SALE OF PROPERTIES, NET

There was a net gain on the sale of properties for the third quarter of
2000 of $1,216,000 compared with a gain of $37,000 in the same quarter
of 1999. The net gain on the sale of properties for the first nine
months of 2000 and 1999 was $1,252,000 and $1,432,000, respectively.
The gains for both the 2000 and 1999 periods were principally related to
the sale of real estate in Indiana. The gain in 2000 included the sale
of the Lux Company's property and the gain in 1999 included the sale of
the former 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 $119,000 for the third quarter
and $506,000 for the nine months compared to income of $81,000 and
$1,130,000 for the 1999 third quarter and nine months, respectively. The
most significant item of income for the 1999 nine-month period was from
the sale of a Company-owned dealership in the state of Georgia and the
receipt of nontaxable income realized from Corporate-owned life
insurance proceeds.

INCOME TAXES

For the third quarter ended September 30, 2000, the effective tax rate
was 30.6% and a year-to-date rate of 32.6% compared with a 1999 third
quarter and year-to-date effective tax rate of 35.3% and 34.3%,
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,
2000, to meet its seasonal working capital needs.  At September 30,
2000, there were no borrowings against this line of credit. As disclosed
in Note 8 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, in
October 2000 the Company entered into a three-year credit agreement
which provides for unsecured borrowings up to $155.0 million. For the
nine months ended September 30, 2000, the major source of cash was from
operating activities. The significant items in operating activities were
net income, depreciation, a decrease in trade accounts receivable and an
increase in trade accounts payable. The positive cash flow from these
items was partially offset by increases in other accrued expenses. The
main source of cash from investing activities represented sales, net of
purchases, of marketable securities and the sale of businesses. The
Company liquidated approximately $10.1 million of its marketable
securities in June 2000 to be used in the acquisition of Mod-U-Kraf.
This acquisition was a major use of cash (see Note 5 of Notes to
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). The remaining use of cash
in investment activities was the acquisition of property and equipment.
The negative cash flow from financing activities was primarily for cash
dividends and repayment of long-term debt.

At September 30, 2000, working capital increased to $137.5 million from
$135.1 million at December 31, 1999. The $1.3 million increase in
current assets at September 30, 2000 versus December 31, 1999, results
from a $21.8 million increase in cash and temporary cash investments,
offset by an $11.1 million decrease in marketable securities, a $4.3
million decrease in trade receivables, a $1.7 million decrease in
inventories and other decreases in current assets. The $1.2 million
decrease in current liabilities was primarily due to a $1.0 million
decrease in current maturities of long-term debt and a $3.3 decrease in
accrued expenses and other liabilities including income taxes, offset by
a $3.2 million increase in trade accounts payable.
