     This Amendment to Employment  Agreement is made and entered into as of this

("Executive").

                                    RECITALS

     A.  Executive  and National  R.V.,  Inc., a  California  corporation  and a
wholly-owned  subsidiary of the Company ("NRV"),  have previously entered into a
series of employment  agreements  and amendments to employment  agreements,  the
most recent being the  Employment  Agreement made and entered into as of January
31, 2000 ("the Current Employment Agreement"),  whereby the Company has employed
Executive  as  President  and Chief  Executive  Officer of the  Company.

     B. The  Executive  and the  Company  wish to amend the  Current  Employment
Agreement to reflect their agreement regarding a change in the Executive's title
and duties.

                                    AGREEMENT

     NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the  mutual  terms,  covenants  and
conditions hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:

     1. Section 1 (Employment) of the Current Employment Agreement is amended to
read: "The Company hereby employs Executive as Co-Chief Executive Officer of the
Company,  to serve in  conjunction  with two other Co-Chief  Executive  Officers
appointed by the Board of Directors of NRVH. In addition,  Executive also agrees
to serve as  interim  President  of  National  R.V.  Inc.  until  such time as a
successor  is duly  approved."  2.  Section  4.1  (Assignment  of Duties) of the
Current  Employment  Agreement  is amended to read:  "Executive  shall have such
duties as are commensurate with his position  described in Section 1 above. Such
duties shall be exercised  subject to the control,  supervision and direction of
the Board of  Directors  of NRVH." 3.  Section  9.5  (Entire  Agreement)  of the
Current  Employment  Agreement wis amended to read: "This Agreement  constitutes
the entire  agreement  and  understanding  of the  parties  with  respect to the
subject  matter  hereof and  supersedes  all prior  oral or written  agreements,
arrangements and understandings with respect thereto,  with the exception of the
Current Employment  Agreement,  which remains in full force and effect except as
expressly amended by this Amendment to Employment Agreement.  No representation,
promises,  inducement,  statement or intention has been made by any party hereto
that is not  embodied  herein,  and no party shall be bound by or liable for any
alleged  representation,  promise,  inducement  or  statement  not so set  forth
herein."

     IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the parties  hereto have  caused  this  Amendment  to
Employment Agreement to be executed as of the date first set forth above.
