, one of the world's largest motor home manufacturers, announced a
new licensing agreement that will further the Company's goal of expanding the

great outdoors. Designed to fit all trucks from mini to full size, each truck
camper features an overhead bed, couch/bed with table and full galley. A
bathroom with toilet, sink and shower is also available on select models.

Sun-Lite, Inc.," said Winnebago Industries' Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer Bruce Hertzke. "As a leader in the truck camper market, Sun-Lite, Inc.
has demonstrated the same high quality values that Winnebago Industries has
developed a reputation for with our motor homes. It is also a progression in
Winnebago Industries' recent efforts to expand within the recreation vehicle
industry through the licensed promotion of the company's well known Winnebago
name."
