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 the
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.

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 six-month periods ended June
   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
   six month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999:

4.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
    The Company was contingently liable at June 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
    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.

    In addition, the Company was contingently liable at June 30, 2000
    under guarantees to financial institutions of their loans to
    independent dealers for amounts totaling approximately $4.8 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 June 30, 2000.

    Also, on February 3, 2000, the Company established a qualified
    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 $6.6 million at June 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.

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 will be included in the
    Company's consolidated financial statements from the date of
    acquisition. Mod-U-Kraf will operate 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.  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
    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 June 30, 2000 were
$187.9 million, a decrease of 7.5% from the $203.2 million reported for
the corresponding quarter last year.  Net sales for the six months were
$383.1 million, representing a decrease of 7.5% from the $414.2 million
reported for the same period in 1999. The Company's vehicle segment,
which includes the parts & supply businesses, experienced a net sales
decrease of 10.9% for the quarter and a decrease of 10.8% for the six
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 six-month comparable periods. The Company's housing segment had a
net sales increase for the 2000 quarter of 6.5% and 8.5% for the six
months. Although there was a second quarter decrease in the number of
units sold, there was an increase in sales dollars.

COST OF GOODS SOLD

Cost of goods sold decreased 6.3% or $11.0 million for the three months
and 6.5% or $23.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. The
decrease for both periods is less than the decrease in net sales. As a
percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold increased 1.2% and .9% for
the quarter and six 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. Increases in capacity
for both the RV segment and Housing segment were not utilized to the
extent anticipated as net sales were below planned levels. The decrease
in production due to the overall decrease in net sales resulted in
higher fixed costs being spread over lower production volumes.

OPERATING EXPENSES

As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses, which include selling,
delivery, general and administrative expenses, were 9.7% and 9.4% for
the 2000 quarter and six months compared to 8.2% for both the quarter
and six months of 1999. Selling and delivery expenses as a percentage
of net sales increased by .7% for the 2000 quarter and .5% for the six
months. The increase for both periods is primarily due to an overall
increase in dealer sales incentives, as well as, increased dealer volume
sales incentives attributable to increased sales in the Housing segment.
General and administrative expenses were 4.2% of net sales for the
second quarter compared to 3.5% for the 1999 corresponding quarter and
4.1% of net sales for the six-month period compared to 3.4% for 1999.
These increases in both the quarter and six-month periods reflect higher
than normal professional fee expenses in connection with an unsolicited
acquisition proposal from Thor Industries, Inc., and related proxy
contest, increase in depreciation expense of the new technology system
and the substantial decrease in capitalization of compensation and
related costs with the implementation of the new technology system.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense was $626,000 and $1,055,000 for the three and six-month
periods in 2000 compared to $543,000 and $977,000 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 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

<PAGE>10
cash value of the insurance policies are partially offset by the
increases in cash surrender values.

INVESTMENT INCOME

Investment income decreased $549,000 and $1,023,000 for the 2000 three
and six-month periods, respectively. This decrease in investment income
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 in the 2000 periods.

GAIN ON THE SALE OF PROPERTIES, NET

There was a net gain on the sale of properties for the second quarter of
2000 of $6,000 compared with a gain of $1,392,000 in the same quarter
of 1999. The net gain on the sale of properties for the first six
months of 2000 and 1999 was $36,000 and $1,395,000, respectively.
The gains for the 1999 periods were principally related to the sale of
Real estate in Indiana, including 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 $105,000 for the second quarter
and $387,000 for the six months compared to income of $717,000 and
$1,049,000 for the 1999 second quarter and six months, respectively. The
most significant item of income for the 1999 quarter was from the sale
of a Company-owned dealership in the state of Georgia. The larger amount
in the 1999 six-month period is principally attributed to the receipt of
nontaxable income realized from Corporate-owned life insurance proceeds.

INCOME TAXES

For the second quarter ended June 30, 2000, the effective tax rate was
30.9% and a year-to-date rate of 33.1% compared with a 1999 second
quarter and year-to-date effective tax rate of 34.5% and 33.7%,
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 June 30, 2000, to
meet its seasonal working capital needs.  At June 30, 2000, there were
no borrowings against this line of credit. For the six months ended June
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 inventories and other accrued expenses. The main
source of cash with investing activities represented sales, net of
purchases, of marketable securities and the sale of a business. The
Company liquidated approximately $10.1 million of its marketable
securities in anticipation of the acquisition of Mod-U-Kraf,which
occurred in June 2000. This acquisition was a major use of cash during
the second quarter (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

<PAGE>11
cash flow from financing activities was primarily for cash dividends and
repayment of long-term debt.

At June 30, 2000, working capital decreased to $134.7 million from
$135.1 million at December 31, 1999. The $3.4 million increase in
current assets at June 30, 2000 versus December 31, 1999, results from a
$9.4 million decrease in trade receivables and other decreases in
current assets, offset by the $16.2 million increase in inventories of
which $3.8 million is attributable to Mod-U-Kraf. The $3.9 million
increase in current liabilities was primarily due to increased trade
accounts payable, which was partially due to the acquisition of Mod-U-
Kraf.
