Poor Results Force Fleetwood RV Management Changes

31 July 2000

    RIVERSIDE, Calif. - Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc., the nation's leading 
manufacturer of recreational vehicles and a leading producer and retailer 
of manufactured housing, announced  Friday management changes within its 
recreational vehicle group.

    Richard E. Parks, Senior Vice President - Recreational Vehicle Group, and
John R. Weiss, Vice President - Motor Homes, have stepped down from their
positions effective immediately.

    Fleetwood President Nelson W. Potter said, "These changes stem from recent
RV group operating performance which has not measured up to our expectations.
In particular, the performance of our motor home division in recent quarters
has fallen well short of our objectives.  We appreciate the many contributions
made by Mr. Parks and Mr. Weiss during their lengthy Fleetwood careers.
However, we believe that a change in leadership and direction for the RV group
is necessary in order to get things back on track with our longer-term
objectives."

    Potter indicated that decisions have not yet been made regarding
replacements for these executives.  Announcements will be made later on as
these positions are filled.
