                                    PART I

Item 1.         Business.
                --------  
      On February  22,  1996 The CIT Group  Securitization  Corporation  II (the
"Company") sold $236,250,000  aggregate  principal amount of Class A 5.40% Asset
Backed Notes (the "Notes") and $13,750,000  aggregate  principal amount of 5.85%
Asset Backed Certificates (the Certificates"). The Certificates have the benefit
of a Cash  Collateral  Account  funded  from the  proceeds of a loan made by The
Dai-Ichi Kangyo Bank, Limited.  The Notes and Certificates were offered for sale
to  the  public   pursuant  to  a  prospectus   dated  February  15,  1996  (the
"Prospectus").

      The Certificates represent an ownership interest in the CIT RV Owner Trust
1996-A (the "Trust") and the Notes represent obligations of the Trust. The Trust
was created,  and the Certificates  were issued,  pursuant to a Trust Agreement,
dated as of February 1, 1996 (the  "Trust  Agreement"),  between the Company and
The Bank of New York  (Delaware),  as owner trustee (the "Owner  Trustee").  The
Notes were issued  pursuant to an  Indenture,  dated as of February 1, 1996 (the
"Indenture"),  between the Trust and Harris Trust and Savings Bank, as Indenture
Trustee (the "Indenture Trustee").

      The  Trust's  only  business  is to act as a  passive  conduit  to  permit
investment in a pool of retail consumer receivables.


Item 2.         Properties.
                ----------  
      The  property of the Trust  consists of a pool of simple  interest  retail
installment  sale contracts  secured by the new and used  recreational  vehicles
financed thereby (the "Contracts").

      All of the Contracts were acquired by the Company from The CIT Group/Sales
Financing,  Inc. ("CITSF") pursuant to the terms of a Purchase Agreement,  dated
as of February 1, 1996,  and sold by the Company to the Trust pursuant to a Sale
and Servicing  Agreement,  dated as of February 1, 1996 (the "Sale and Servicing
Agreement"), among the Company, as seller, CITSF, as servicer, and the Trust.


      Information  related to the payment on the Contracts by the obligors under
the  Contracts  is set  forth in the 1996  Annual  Statement  of Trust  filed as
Exhibit 99.1 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.



Item 3.         Legal Proceedings.
                -----------------  
      In June,  1995,  a suit,  Harvey  Travis  et al.  v. The CIT  Group  Sales
Financing,  Inc.,  et al.,  Civil  Action No.  CV-95-P-1544-S,  was filed in the
United  States  District  Court for the  Northern  District of Alabama,  against
CITSF, its force-placed insurance carrier and another lender. Plaintiffs in this
action allege  primarily that  force-placed  insurance  coverage on manufactured
homes was placed by  defendants  in a manner which caused  plaintiffs  and other
borrowers  to be charged or assessed for  excessive  premiums and that there was
inadequate  disclosure  regarding certain fees charged and commissions earned in
connection therewith. In their complaint,  plaintiffs ask that a class action be
certified,  with the class to be comprised of individuals  against whom monetary
charges  alleged to be excessive  have been assessed  and/or  collected by CITSF
and/or the other  defendants  for the  purchase  of  force-placed  insurance  in
connection with consumer  installment  transactions  with CITSF and/or the other
defendants.

      The class allegations in the Travis suit have been dismissed.  Mr. and
Mrs. Travis subsequently brought the same suit as individuals.  This case has
been settled.

      The registrant knows of no other material  pending legal  proceedings with
respect to the Trust or involving the Trust,  the Owner  Trustee,  the Indenture
Trustee, the Company or CITSF.


Item 4.         Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
                ---------------------------------------------------  
      No matter was submitted to a vote of Certificateholders  during the fiscal
year covered by this report.

Notes are held and  delivered in book-entry  form through the  facilities of The
Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the
provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

      As of January 2, 1997,  100% of the Notes were held in the nominee name of
Cede & Co.  for 55  beneficial  owners.  As of  January  2,  1997  98.9%  of the
Certificates  were held in the nominee name of Cede & Co. for 1 beneficial owner
and 1.1% of the Certificates  were held in the form of a definitive  Certificate
by an affiliate of the Company.
