     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                            (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - GENERAL

     In the opinion of National  R.V.  Holdings,  Inc.  (collectively,  with its

the "Company"),  the accompanying  unaudited  consolidated  financial statements
contain  all  adjustments,  consisting  only of  normal  recurring  adjustments,

PART 1, ITEM 2

         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

   At  September  30,  1998,  the Company had working  capital of $53.8  million
compared to $39.3  million at December 31, 1997.  Net cash provided by operating
activities  was $11.3  million for the nine months  ended  September  30,  1998,
compared to $3.8 million for the same period in 1997. An increase in net income,
accounts  payable  and  accrued  expenses  was offset by an increase in accounts
receivable, inventories and deferred income taxes.

   Cash used by investing  activities was $3.6 million  compared to $7.6 million
for the comparable period last year.

   Cash used by financing  activities was $1.0 million compared to cash provided
by financing activities of $3.1 million for the comparable period last year. The
change was  primarily due to a $5.3 million  reduction in long-term  debt offset
somewhat by proceeds from the issuance of common stock.

   The Company  believes that the  combination  of internally  generated  funds,
existing capital and funds available from its existing credit facility,  will be
sufficient to meet the Company's  planned capital and  operational  requirements
for at least the next 24 months.

Results of Operations
---------------------

   Net sales for the third  quarter of 1998  increased by $19.6 million or 25.6%
from the  comparable  period last year.  For the first nine months of 1998,  the
Company  reported  sales of $267.6  million,  30.8%  higher than sales of $204.6
million  for the first nine months of last year.  The  Company's  Country  Coach
subsidiary  shipped 419 Class A motorhomes for the nine months ending  September
30,1998  compared  to 352 for the same time period  last year.  The  National RV
subsidiary  shipped 2,334 Class A motorhomes and 297  fifth-wheel  units for the
nine months ending September  30,1998  compared to 1,856 and 184,  respectively,
for the same  time  period  last  year.  The  average  sales  price  for Class A
motorhomes at the National RV subsidiary  increased  5.2% to $70,819  reflecting
strong demand for  higher-priced  motorhomes with slide-out  rooms.  The average
sales price for Class A motorhomes  at the Country  Coach  subsidiary  increased
1.6% to $213,685.

   Cost of goods sold of $81.1 million for the third quarter of 1998 resulted in
a gross margin of 15.8%  compared to a gross margin of 14.4% for the same period
last year.  Cost of goods sold of $225.6  million  for the first nine  months of
1998 resulted in a gross margin of 15.7% compared to a gross margin of 13.6% for
the same  period last year.  The gross  margin  increase  was due  primarily  to
manufacturing  efficiencies  at  the  Company's  National  RV  subsidiary  which
operated at a 19.9% higher rate of production than last year.

   Selling  expense for the third  quarter of 1998  increased to $2.8 million or
2.9% of net sales,  compared  to $2.5  million or 3.3% of net sales for the same
period last year. Selling expense for the first nine months of 1998 increased to
$8.1 million or 3.0% of net sales, compared to $6.7 million or 3.3% of net sales
for the same period last year.  The increase  was due  primarily to higher sales
volume. NATIONAL R.V. HOLDINGS, INC. PART 1, ITEM 2

         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

   General and administrative expense for the third quarter of 1998 increased to
$1.7 million or 1.7% of net sales, compared to $1.5 million or 2.0% of net sales
for the same period last year. General and administrative  expense for the first
nine months of 1998 increased to $4.7 million or 1.8% of net sales,  compared to
$4.3 million or 2.1% of net sales for the same period last year.

   As a result of the foregoing,  operating income for the third quarter of 1998
increased 53.9% to $10.7 million or 11.0% of net sales, compared to $6.9 million
or 9.0% of net sales for the same  period  last year.  Operating  income for the
first  nine  months of 1998  increased  75.7% to $28.8  million  or 10.8% of net
sales,  compared to $16.4  million or 8.0% of net sales for the same period last
year.

   Net interest  expense and other  financing  related  costs for the first nine
months of 1998 decreased $141,000.

   As a result  of the  foregoing,  income  before  income  taxes  for the third
quarter of 1998  increased to $10.7  million or 11.1% of net sales,  compared to
$6.8 million or 8.9% of net sales for the same period last year.  Income  before
income  taxes for the first nine months of 1998  increased  to $28.7  million or
10.7% of net sales,  compared to $16.2 million or 7.9% of net sales for the same
period last year.

   Provision  for income  taxes for the third  quarter  of fiscal  1998 was $4.1
million  compared to $2.7 million for the same period last year.  Provision  for
income  taxes for the first nine  months of 1998 was $11.4  million  compared to
$6.5 million for the same period last year. The effective tax rate for the first
nine  months of 1998 was 39.7%  compared to 40.4% for the same period last year.
The decrease was due mainly to apportioning sales to states with lower tax rates
and a tax refund in the state of Oregon.

   As a result  of the  foregoing,  net  income  for the third  quarter  of 1998
increased to $6.6 million or 6.8% of net sales, compared to $4.1 million or 5.4%
of net sales for the same period last year. Net income for the first nine months
of 1998  increased  to $17.3  million  or 6.5% of net  sales,  compared  to $9.7
million or 4.7% of net sales for the same period last year.

         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Year 2000 Date Conversion
-------------------------

   An issue affecting the Company and most other  companies is whether  computer
systems and  applications  will  recognize and process the year 2000 and beyond.
The Company is in the process of assessing and  implementing  necessary  changes
for all areas of the Company's  business which could be impacted;  these include
such  areas as  business  computer  systems,  dealership  systems,  plant  floor
equipment, end-user computing, financial institutions and suppliers.
   Based on assessments  completed to date and compliance plans in process,  the
Company does not expect that the year 2000 issue will have a material  effect on
its  business  operations,  consolidated  financial  condition,  cash flows,  or
results of operations. However, if appropriate modifications are not made by the
Company's  suppliers or dealers on a timely basis,  or if the  Company's  actual
costs or timing for the year 2000 date  conversion  differ  materially  from its
present  estimates,  the Company's  operations  and  financial  results could be
significantly adversely affected.

Disclosure Regarding Forward Looking Statements
-----------------------------------------------

   Statements  contained  in this  Quarterly  Report  on Form  10-Q that are not
historical  facts are  forward-looking  statements  within  the  meaning  of the
Private Securities  Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Investors are cautioned that
forward-looking  statements are inherently  uncertain.  Actual  performance  and
results may differ  materially  from that  projected or suggested  herein due to
certain risks and  uncertainties  including,  without  limitation,  the cyclical
nature  of  the  recreational   vehicle  industry;   seasonality  and  potential
fluctuations in the Company's  operating  results;  the Company's  dependence on
chassis suppliers; the integration by the Company of acquired businesses and the
management  of  growth;   potential  liabilities  under  repurchase  agreements;
competition;   government  regulation;  product  liability;  dependence  on  key
personnel and  dependence  on certain  dealers and  concentration  of dealers in
certain   regions.   Additional   information   concerning   certain  risks  and
uncertainties  that could cause actual  results to differ  materially  from that
projected  or suggested  may be  identified  from time to time in the  Company's

Exhibit 99.1

                 Disclosure Regarding Forward Looking Statements

         Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not
historical  facts are  forward-looking  statements  within  the  meaning  of the
Private Securities  Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Investors are cautioned that
forward-looking  statements are inherently  uncertain.  Actual  performance  and
results may differ  materially  from that  projected or suggested  herein due to
certain risks and uncertainties including, without limitation, the following:

                  Cyclical Nature of the RV Industry,  Seasonality and Potential
Fluctuations in Operating  Results.  The RV industry has been  characterized  by
cycles of growth and  contraction  in  consumer  demand,  reflecting  prevailing
economic conditions which affect disposable income for leisure-time  activities.
Concerns  about the  availability  and price of gasoline,  decreases in consumer
confidence,  increases in interest rates and  reductions in available  financing
have had,  and may in the  future  have,  an  adverse  impact  on RV  sales.  In
addition, because of the relatively high selling price of the Company's Highline
motorhomes,  a small  variation in the number of motorhomes  sold in any quarter
could have a significant effect on sales and operating results for that quarter.
Seasonal factors,  over which the Company has no control, also have an effect on
the demand for the Company's  products.  Demand in the RV industry declines over
the winter  season,  while  sales are  generally  highest  during the spring and
summer months.

                  Integration of Acquired Businesses;  Management of Growth. One
of the  Company's  objectives  is to acquire  businesses  in the RV  industry or
related  areas.  Successfully  accomplishing  this goal depends upon a number of
factors,   including  the  Company's   ability  to  find  suitable   acquisition
candidates,  negotiate acquisitions on acceptable terms, retain key personnel of
the acquired entities,  hire and train other competent managers, and effectively
and  profitably  integrate the  operations of the acquired  businesses  into the
Company's existing  operations.  The process of integrating acquired businesses,
including  Country  Coach,  may require a  significant  amount of resources  and
management   attention  which  will  temporarily   detract  attention  from  the
day-to-day  business of the Company.  The Company's ability to manage its growth
effectively  will require it to continue to improve its  operational,  financial
and  management  information  systems  and  controls,  and to  attract,  retain,
motivate and manage employees effectively.  The failure of the Company to manage
growth in its business  effectively  could have a material adverse effect on the
financial condition and results of operations of the Company.

                  Expansion of Manufacturing  Facilities. In 1997, the Company's
National  RV  subsidiary  expanded  its current  production  capacity of 200,000
square feet  through the  construction  of a 154,000  square foot  manufacturing
facility on its  property in Perris,  California.  In  addition,  the  Company's
Country Coach subsidiary  recently  expanded its Junction City, Oregon location.
There can be no assurance that such facilities or future  additional  facilities
will be able to meet the manufacturing  needs of the Company or that the Company
will be  able  to  attract  and  retain  qualified  technical,  supervisory  and
manufacturing  personnel  required  in  order to  operate  such  facility  in an
effective and efficient manner.

                  Dependence  on  Key  Personnel.   The  Company's   growth  and
continued  success depend to a substantial  degree on Wayne M. Mertes, a founder
of  National RV and  President,  Chief  Executive  Officer and a director of the
Company,  Robert B. Lee, a founder and Chief Executive  Officer of Country Coach
and a  director  of the  Company  and  other  key  personnel.  The  Company  has
employment  agreements  which expire in October 1998 and November  1999 with Mr.
Mertes and Mr. Lee, respectively.  In addition, the Company has obtained key-man
insurance on the life of Mr.  Mertes and Mr. Lee in the amounts of $2.0 and $3.0
million,  respectively.  The loss to the Company of the services of Mr.  Mertes,
Mr. Lee or any of its other key personnel  could have a material  adverse effect
on the business of the Company.

                  Dependence  on Certain  Dealers;  Concentration  of Dealers in
Certain  Regions.  Although  no one  dealer  accounted  for more than 10% of the
Company's net sales during the year ended  December 31, 1997 and the nine months
ended  September  30,  1998,  the  Company's  top  ten  dealers   accounted  for
approximately  44.7% and 44.4% of the  Company's  sales  during  the year  ended
December 31, 1997 and the nine months ended  September  30, 1998,  respectively.
The loss by the  Company of one or more of these  dealers  could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's  financial  condition and results of operations.
In addition,  as is typical in the RV  industry,  a  significant  portion of the
Company's  sales are from  dealers  located in states in the western part of the
United States.  Consequently,  the Company's sales could be materially adversely
affected by a general  downturn in economic  conditions or other material events
in such region.

                  Dependence  on  Chassis   Suppliers.   One  of  the  principal
components  used in the  manufacture  of motorhomes  and bus  conversions is the
chassis and bus shell,  respectively,  which include the engine, drive train and
other operating components.  Although Country Coach manufactures chassis used in
certain of its products,  the Company  obtains the required  chassis for most of
its Class A motorhomes from a limited number of  manufacturers  and the required
bus shells from Prevost  Corporation.  Prevost is the only  manufacturer  of bus
shells  used in the  Company's  bus  conversions  and  there is only  one  other
manufacturer  of bus shells in North  America.  As is standard in the  industry,
arrangements  with such suppliers  permit them to terminate  their  relationship
with the Company at any time. Lead times for the delivery of chassis  frequently
exceed  five  weeks,  and the RV  industry  as a  whole  has  from  time to time
experienced  temporary  shortages of chassis.  If any of the Company's suppliers
were to discontinue  the  manufacture of chassis  utilized by the Company in the
manufacture of its Class A motorhomes,  materially reduce their  availability to
the RV  industry  in general or limit or  terminate  their  availability  to the
Company in particular, the business and financial condition of the Company could
be materially and adversely affected.

                  Potential  Liabilities  Under  Repurchase  Agreements.  As  is
common in the industry,  the Company enters into repurchase  agreements with the
financing  institutions  used by its dealers to finance their  purchases.  These
agreements  obligate the Company to purchase a dealer's  inventory under certain
circumstances in the event of a default by the dealer to its lender. The risk of
loss,  however, is spread over many dealers and is further reduced by the resale
value of the RVs that the  Company  would be required  to  repurchase.  Although
losses under these  agreements  have not been  significant  in the past,  if the

<PAGE>

Company were obligated to repurchase a significant  number of RVs in the future,
it could  result in  losses  and a  reduction  in new RV  sales.  The  Company's
contingent  obligations  under repurchase  agreements vary from period to period
and totalled approximately $74.5 million as of December 31, 1997.

                  Competition. The Company competes with numerous manufacturers,
many  of  which  have  multiple  product  lines  of RVs,  are  larger  and  have
substantially greater financial and other resources than the Company.  According
to an  industry  source,  the two  largest  motorhome  manufacturers  had  sales
aggregating 45.0% and 44.3% of total industry-wide  retail unit sales of Class A
motorhomes  for the years ended  December  31, 1997 and 1996,  respectively.  In
addition, sales of used RVs provide competition to RV manufacturers.

                  Government   Regulation.   The   Company  is  subject  to  the
provisions  of the  National  Traffic and Motor  Vehicle  Safety Act (the "Motor
Vehicle Act") and the safety  standards for RVs and  components  which have been
promulgated  thereunder by the Department of  Transportation.  The Motor Vehicle
Act authorizes the National Highway Traffic Safety  Administration  ("NHTSA") to
require a  manufacturer  to recall and repair  vehicles  which  contain  certain
hazards or  defects.  The  Company  has from time to time  instituted  voluntary
recalls of certain  motorhome units, none of which had a material adverse effect
on the  Company.  The  Company  is  also  subject  to  numerous  state  consumer
protection  laws and  regulations  relating to the operation of motor  vehicles,
including so-called "Lemon Laws."

                  The  Company's  manufacturing  operations  are  subject  to  a
variety of federal  and state  environmental  regulations  relating  to the use,
generation,  storage,  treatment,  emissions, and disposal of hazardous material
sand wastes and noise  pollution.  Such laws and  regulations  are becoming more
stringent,  and it is  likely  that  future  amendments  to these  environmental
statutes and additional regulations promulgated thereunder will be applicable to
the Company,  its manufacturing  operations and its products in the future.  The
failure of the Company to comply with present or future regulations could result
in fines being imposed on the Company,  potential civil and criminal  liability,
suspension of production or operations, alterations to the manufacturing process
or costly cleanup or capital expenditures.

                  Product  Liability.  The Company  maintains  product liability
insurance with coverage in amounts which management  believes is reasonable.  To
date, the Company has been successful in obtaining product  liability  insurance
on terms the Company considers acceptable. The Company's current policy provides
coverage  against claims based on occurrences  within the policy periods up to a
maximum of $11  million.  Given the nature of the  Company's  business,  product
liability in excess of the Company's insurance coverage, if incurred, could have
a material adverse effect on the Company.

                  Control by  Affiliates.  As of October 1, 1998,  affiliates of
Siegler,  Collery & Co., a New York-based  investment firm ("Siegler  Collery"),
beneficially  owned  approximately  12.9% of the  outstanding  shares  of Common
Stock.  Gary N.  Siegler,  Chairman of the Board and a director of the  Company,
controls  each of these  affiliates.  In  addition,  as of October 1, 1998,  the
executive  officers  and  directors of the Company as a group  beneficially  own
approximately  27.3% of the  outstanding  shares of Common Stock. As a result of

<PAGE>

such  ownership,  Mr.  Siegler,  individually,  and the  executive  officers and
directors,  as a group, have the ability to exert  significant  influence on the
Company's  policies,  the election of directors and the authorization of certain
transactions that require stockholder approval.

                  Antitakeover  Provisions.  Certain provisions of the Company's
Certificate  of  Incorporation,  as  well  as  Delaware  corporate  law  and the
Company's  Stockholder  Rights Plan (the "Rights  Plan"),  may be deemed to have
anti-takeover  effects and may delay, defer or prevent a takeover attempt that a
stockholder  might  consider  in its best  interest.  Such  provisions  also may
adversely affect prevailing market prices for the Common Stock.  Certain of such
provisions allow the Company's Board of Directors to issue,  without  additional
stockholder  approval,  preferred  stock  having  rights  senior to those of the
Common  Stock.  In  addition,  the  Company  is  subject  to  the  anti-takeover
provisions  of  Section  203 of the  Delaware  General  Corporation  Law,  which
prohibits  the  Company  from  engaging  in a  "business  combination"  with  an
"interested  stockholder"  for a period  of three  years  after  the date of the
transaction  in which the person  became an interested  stockholder,  unless the
business  combination  is approved in a prescribed  matter.  In August 1996, the
Company  adopted the Rights Plan,  pursuant to which holders of the Common Stock
received a distribution of rights to purchase additional shares of Common Stock,
which rights become exercisable upon the occurrence of certain events.
