Coachmen Industries Announces Completion of Miller Building Systems Merger

               Acquisition Expands Modular Construction Segment

    ELKHART, Ind., Nov. 9 Coachmen Industries, Inc.
("Coachmen") and Miller Building Systems, Inc. ("Miller")
announced today that Coachmen's indirect wholly owned subsidiary, Delaware
Miller Acquisition Corporation, has successfully merged with and into Miller.
The acquisition was effective October 31, 2000.
    Pursuant to the merger, each share of Miller common stock has been
converted into the right to receive $8.40 in cash, plus an additional $.30
subject to certain conditions, other than shares held by Miller or by any of
its subsidiaries, and shares held by Coachmen, COA Housing Group, Inc. (the
parent of Delaware Miller Acquisition Corporation), or any other subsidiary of
COA Housing Group, Inc.  Payment of such amount will be made upon presentation
of certificates representing shares of Miller common stock to the transfer
agent for the merger, together with a properly completed letter of
transmittal.  Miller's transfer agent will forward to shareholders detailed
instructions regarding how to surrender their share certificates in order to
receive the merger consideration.  As a result of the merger, Miller is wholly
owned by COA Housing Group, Inc. and is no longer publicly traded.
    "The addition of Miller furthers our strategic plan to expand our modular
construction segment," said Claire C. Skinner, Chairman, CEO and President of
Coachmen Industries.  "We are pleased to officially welcome the employees at
Miller to the Coachmen team.  With this addition of Miller Building Systems,
Coachmen's important modular segment now spans housing, commercial and the
telecommunications industries."
    Miller, founded in 1982, specializes in commercial modular structures.
The company just reported the best first quarter sales and earnings in its
history. For the quarter ended Sept. 30, net sales were $20.6 million, as
compared to the $16.8 million reported last year for the same period. Much of
Miller's growth is attributable to its leadership in modular structures for
the telecommunications industry and its customers include Nextel, AT&T,
Motorola and Bell Atlantic.
    In addition to its participation in the rapidly growing telecom industry,
Miller is also a leader in commercial modular structures serving a broad
customer base. Miller operates from five manufacturing locations in the
continental United States providing a broad reach in both telecommunications
and commercial applications. Its unique lightweight, non-combustible modular
structures position Miller to capture future growth in the education, assisted
living and health care sectors.
    The acquisition of Miller Building Systems is the second expansion by
Coachmen of its modular business this year. In June Coachmen acquired all of
the outstanding shares of Mod-U-Kraf, Inc., a modular home and special
products manufacturer headquartered in Rocky Mount, Virginia.
