                                 PART I

Item 1.  Business.

       Not Applicable.


Item 2.  Properties.

      The Fleetwood Credit 1997-A Grantor Trust (the "Trust") was formed
      and its asset backed certificates (the "Certificates") were issued
      pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of March
      1, 1997 (the "Agreement"), between Fleetwood Credit Receivables
      Corp., a California corporation, as Seller (the "Seller"), and
      Fleetwood Credit Corp., a California corporation, as Servicer (the
      "Servicer") and The First National Bank of Chicago, as Trustee of the
      Trust (the "Trustee").  The Certificates consist of one class of senior
      certificates, (the "Class A Certificates") and one class of
      subordinated certificates, (the "Class B Certificates").  The Class A
      Certificates represent an undivided ownership interest of ninety-six
      point five percent (96.5%) of the Trust and the Class B Certificates
      represent an undivided ownership interest of three point five percent
      (3.5%) the Trust. The Class B Certificates are subordinate to the
      Class A Certificates in regard to the right to receive payments in
      the event of delinquency or default on the Receivables (as defined
      below).  Capitalized terms herein, unless otherwise defined herein,
      shall have the meanings specified in the Agreement.

      The property of the Trust includes a pool of simple interest retail
      installment sale contracts (the "Receivables") between dealers (the
      "Dealers") in new and used recreational vehicles, manufactured
      primarily by subsidiaries of Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc., and retail
      purchasers (the "Obligors"), and all payments due thereunder on or
      after March 1, 1997 (the "Cutoff Date") other than accrued
      interest owing on Receivables prior to the Cutoff Date.  The
      Receivables were originated by Dealers and subsequently assigned to
      the Servicer, and are serviced by the Servicer and evidence the
      indirect financing made available by the Servicer to the Obligors.
      The property of the Trust also includes:  (i) such amounts as from
      time to time may be held in an interest bearing trust account
      established and maintained by the Seller with the Trustee pursuant to
      the Agreement (the Subordinated Reserve Fund), and the proceeds
      thereof;  (ii) security interests in the financed vehicles and any
      accessions thereto;  (iii) benefits under the subordination of the
      Class B Certificates and the Servicer Letter of Credit; (iv) any
      recourse rights of the Seller against Dealers; and (v) the right to
      proceeds of physical damage, credit life, and disability insurance
      policies covering the financed vehicles or the Obligors.

      As of March 1, 1997, the Receivables included in the pool
      consisted of 5,710 contracts with an aggregate value of
      $183,011,151.56.



      As of December 31, 1997, the end of the year of the Trust for which
      this Form 10-K Annual Report is being filed, there were 4,806
      contracts with an aggregate value of $145,388,747.74 outstanding.

      The change in the aggregate principal balance of the Receivables
      between March 1, 1997, and December 31, 1997, was due to:
      (i) scheduled principal payments, made by or on behalf of the
      Obligors on the Receivables; and (ii) payment in full of 63
      Receivables.  There were no repurchases of defaulted Receivables
      pursuant to the Reserve Fund.  The net loss on Receivables for the
      period from March 1, 1997, through December 31, 1997, was
      $252,106.85.  The aggregate amount recovered from sales of
      repossessed vehicles during the period was $271,707.03.

      At December 31, 1997, there were fourteen (14) accounts with an
      aggregate principal balance of $334,999.28 that were 30-59 days
      delinquent, zero (0) accounts with an aggregate principal balance
      of $0.00 that were 60-89 days delinquent, and zero (0) account with
      an aggregate principal balance of $0.00 that was 90 or more days
      delinquent.  The foregoing delinquent balances represent 0.23%,
      0.00%, 0.00% respectively, of the outstanding pool balance as of
      December 31, 1997 (0.187% in total).


Item 3.   Legal Proceedings.

       The Registrant knows of no material legal proceedings with respect
       to the Trust, involving the Trust, the Trustee or the Company, as
       Servicer of the Receivables, other than ordinary routine litigation
       incidental to the Trustee's or the Company's servicing duties under
       the Agreement.


Item 4.   Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

       No matter was submitted during the period covered by this report to
       a vote of the Certificateholders.
