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 information
technology systems, which can impact the Company's day-to-day
operations; changing government regulations, such as those covering
accounting standards, environmental matters or product warranties and
recalls, which may affect costs of operations, revenues, product
acceptance and profitability; 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; the impact of economic uncertainty on high-cost discretionary
product purchases; and also on the state of the recreational vehicle and
modular housing and building 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 industry, the housing and building 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.  For further discussion of the elements involved in the
Report, see the Company's most recent Annual Report or Form 10-K.

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated balance sheet data at December 31, 2000 was derived
from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures
required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States.

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,
2001 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: Recreational Vehicles, including related
parts and supplies, and Modular Housing and Building. 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, 2001 and 2000:

4.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by
the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing
net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common
stock outstanding plus the dilutive effect of stock options and stock
awards.  The dilutive effect of stock options and awards did not enter
into the computation of diluted earnings per share for the nine months
ended September 30, 2001, because their inclusion would have been
antidilutive.

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.  COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Other comprehensive loss represents unrealized depreciation of
available-for-sale securities, net of deferred income taxes.  Other
comprehensive income (loss) was $382 and $(824) for the 2001 third
quarter and nine months, respectively. There was no other comprehensive
income recorded for the quarter or nine months ended September 30,
2000.   Total comprehensive income (loss) combines reported net income
(loss) and other comprehensive loss.  Total comprehensive income (loss)
for the quarters ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 was $1,387 and
$2,273, respectively, and $(3,335) and $10,003 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

6.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company was contingently liable at September 30, 2001 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.  Historically, the Company has not
experienced significant losses under these agreements.  However, in the
fourth quarter of 2000 and continuing to a lesser extent through the
third quarter of 2001, as a result of business conditions affecting the
recreational vehicle industry, the Company experienced losses under
repurchase agreements.  Accordingly, the Company is recording an
accrual for estimated losses under repurchase agreements.  The Company
is involved in various legal proceedings which are ordinary disputes
incidental to the industry and many of which are covered in whole or in
part by insurance.  Management believes that the ultimate outcome of
these matters and any liabilities in excess of insurance coverage and
self-insurance accruals will not have a material adverse impact on the
Company's consolidated financial position or on its future business
operations.

7.  ACQUISITION OF A BUSINESS

On February 12, 2001, the Company acquired all of the issued and
outstanding shares of capital stock of Kan Build, Inc. ("Kan Build"),
a manufacturer of modular buildings.  The purchase price aggregated
$21.6 million and consisted of $8.9 million cash paid at closing and
the assumption of $12.7 million of liabilities.  The excess of
purchase price over fair value of assets acquired ("goodwill"), which
approximated $3.7 million, is being amortized on a straight-line basis
over 20 years.  The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and
the operating results of Kan Build are included in the Company's
consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

When acquired, Kan Build had facilities in Osage City, Kansas;
Loveland, Colorado; and a new plant under construction in Millikin,
Colorado.  During the second quarter of 2001, all manufacturing
operations in the Loveland, Colorado facility were relocated to the
newly constructed facility in Millikin, Colorado.  The lease on the
Loveland, Colorado facility was subsequently terminated.

Unaudited pro forma financial information as if this acquisition had
occurred at the beginning of each period is as follows:

       Diluted                               (.15)       .71

8.  NEW AND PENDING ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted two new accounting
pronouncements of the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") of the
Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB").  EITF 00-10,
"Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs," requires
freight billed to customers to be considered as sales revenue.
Previously, the Company netted freight billed to customers against
delivery expenses.  EITF 00-22, "Accounting for Points and Certain
Time or Volume-Based Sales Incentive Offers...," requires certain
volume-based sales rebates to be netted against sales revenue.
Previously, the Company included such rebates in selling expenses.
Net sales, delivery expenses and selling expenses for prior periods
have been restated to conform with the current presentation.  The
adoption of these two new EITF pronouncements had no impact on net
income. In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 141, "Business
Combinations" and Statement No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets."  Statement No. 141 eliminates the pooling of interests method
of accounting for business acquisitions and Statement No. 142 eliminates
the amortization of goodwill and requires the Company to evaluate
goodwill for impairment on an annual basis.  Any impairment of goodwill
must be recognized currently as a charge to earnings in the financial
statements.  The Company will be required to apply the provisions of the
Statements to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001.
For goodwill and intangible assets arising from business combinations
completed before July 1, 2001, the Company will be required to apply the
provisions of Statement No. 142 beginning on January 1, 2002.
Application of the nonamortization provisions of the Statement in the
year ending 2002 is expected to reduce intangibles amortization by
approximately $1.2 million and increase net earnings by approximately
$.4 million ($.03 per diluted share).  During 2002, the Company will
perform the initial impairment tests of goodwill and indefinite lived
intangible assets as of January 1, 2002.  The Company has not yet
determined what effect these tests will have on its consolidated results
of operations or financial position.

NET SALES

Consolidated net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 were
$149.6 million, a decrease of 20.6% from the $188.5 million reported for
the corresponding quarter last year.  Net sales for the nine months were
$464.9 million, representing a decrease of 20.5% from the $584.4 million
reported for the same period in 2000.  The Company's recreational
vehicle segment experienced a net sales decrease of 43.9% for the
quarter and a decrease of 38.2% for the nine months.  Both the motorized
and towable products had decreases in the number of units and sales
dollars from the 2000 periods reflecting a continuing industry-wide
softness in the recreational vehicle industry during the three and nine
month comparable periods. After adjustments for sold or discontinued RV
operations, sales for 2000 were $128.6 million for the third quarter and
$412.2 million for the first nine months of the year.  The Company's
modular housing and building segment experienced a net sales increase
for the 2001 quarter of 46.8% and 39.9% for the nine months.  This
increase was principally attributable to net sales of acquired
businesses during the past twelve month period.

COST OF SALES

Cost of sales decreased 23.5% or $37.8 million for the three months
and 20.5% or $102.0 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2001. The decrease for the quarter is greater than the decrease in net
sales while the decrease for the nine months approximates the decrease
in net sales for the corresponding period.  As a percentage of sales,
cost of sales decreased 3.1 percentage points and .1 percentage points
for the quarter and nine months, respectively, from the comparable prior
year periods.  The most recent quarter was favorably impacted by
continued cost cutting efforts including the improved utilization of the
recreational vehicle manufacturing facilities resulting from the
consolidations that took place earlier in the year.  Margin improvements
were also affected by the increased influence of the modular housing and
building segment to overall sales of the Corporation.

OPERATING EXPENSES

As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses, which include
delivery, selling, general and administrative expenses, were 16.0% and
15.5% for the 2001 quarter and nine months compared to 13.4% and 12.7%
for the quarter and nine months of 2000. As a percentage of net sales,
delivery expenses increased by 1.2 percentage points for the three
months and 1.0 percentage points for the nine months compared to the
prior year three and nine month periods.  This increase was mainly
attributable to higher fuel costs and fuel surcharges from outside
carriers.  In addition, as a result of lower sales volume in the current
periods, there was less efficient utilization of Company-owned
transportation equipment.  Selling expenses, at 5.3% of net sales for
the quarter ended September 30, 2001, were .4% higher than the
comparable quarter of the previous year.  This was mainly attributable
to increased sales promotions in the recreational vehicle segment
necessitated by the challenging sales environment.  For the nine month
period, selling expenses in 2001, as a percentage of net sales of 4.7%,
were .3 percentage points higher than the 4.4% in 2000.  While total
dollars spent were down 13.8% for the nine month period, revenue
declined 20.5%.  General and administrative expenses were 5.4% of net
sales for the third quarter compared to 4.4% for the 2000 corresponding
quarter and 5.5% of net sales for the nine month period compared to 4.1%
for 2000.  These increases in both the quarter and nine month periods
were primarily the result of goodwill amortization for companies
acquired during the past twelve month period, which were not included in
last year's results for the first nine months.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense was $711 and $2,662 for the three and nine month
periods in 2001 compared to $545 and $1,600 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 cash value
of the insurance policies are partially offset by the increases in cash
surrender values.  The increase in interest expense is primarily the
result of Industrial Revenue Bonds assumed in the acquisitions of
Mod-U-Kraf Homes, Inc. and Miller Building Systems, Inc. during 2000.

INVESTMENT INCOME (LOSS)

There was an investment loss of $117 for the quarter ended September 30,
2001 compared to investment income of $569 for the third quarter of
2000.  For the nine month period, investment loss in 2001 was $6
compared to investment income of $830 the previous year.  This decrease
is principally attributable to realized losses incurred from the sale
of preferred stocks of certain utility companies as well as a reduction
of interest income resulting from lower interest rates during the 2001
periods.

GAIN ON THE SALE OF PROPERTIES, NET

There was a net gain on the sale of properties for the third quarter of
2001 of $147 compared with a gain of $1,216 in the same quarter of 2000.
The net gain on the sale of properties for the first nine months of 2001
and 2000 was $209 and $1,252, respectively.  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 the sale, which was primarily
attributable to the sale of real property, approximated $1.2 million.
This current year gain represents the net result of the amount of gain
or loss recognized upon the disposition of various small properties.

OTHER INCOME, NET

Other income, net, represents income of $76 for the third quarter of
2001 and an expense of $143 for the nine months compared to income of
$119 and $506 for the 2000 third quarter and nine months, respectively.
The most significant item of expense for the 2001 nine month period was
a $400 charge to write-down the carrying value of property held for sale
that was subsequently sold.

INCOME TAXES

For the third quarter ended September 30, 2001, the effective tax rate
was 37.5% and a year-to-date rate of 36.2% compared with a 2000 third
quarter  and year-to-date rate of 30.6% and 32.6%, 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 amount of
nontaxable dividend income on investments.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company generally relies on funds from operations as its primary
source of liquidity.  In addition, the Company maintains a $30 million
secured bank line of credit to meet its seasonal working capital
needs. The loan agreement contains covenants whereby the Company must
maintain certain financial ratios.  At September 30, 2001, there were no
borrowings against this line of credit.  This agreement was amended on
November 5, 2001 to modify available borrowings to $30 million from $50
million, to provide certain collateral to the bank and to modify certain
financial covenants to reflect current business conditions.  For the
nine months ended September 30, 2001, the major source of cash was from
operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities
aggregated $42,591 and $24,445 for the nine months ended September 30,
2001 and 2000, respectively.  The significant items in operating
activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 were
depreciation, a decrease in trade accounts receivable, a decrease in
inventories and increases in trade accounts payable and accrued
expenses.  The positive cash flow from these items was partially offset
by the net loss and a decrease in deferred income taxes.  The cash used
in investing activities included the purchase of Kan Build and the
acquisition of property and equipment.  The cash used in financing
activities consisted of cash dividends paid and the repayment of long-
term debt.

At September 30, 2001, working capital decreased to $104.9 million from
the $116.2 million at December 31, 2000.  The $8.0 million increase in
current assets at September 30, 2001 versus December 31, 2000, was
primarily due to increases in cash and marketable securities of $23.1
million during the nine month period.  This was mostly offset by
decreases in trade accounts receivable and inventories.  The increase in
current liabilities of $19.3 million was primarily due to increases in
accounts payable, customer deposits and accrued expenses.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

There have been no material changes from the information provided in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2000.
