                      COACHMEN INDUSTRIES, INC.
         CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   The consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 1995 was
     derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all
     disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.

2.   In the opinion of management, the information furnished herein
     includes all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature necessary
     to reflect a fair statement of the interim periods reported.  The
     results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996
     are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
     full year.

3.  Inventories consist of the following:

                                   March 31,           December 31,
                                     1996                  1995

    Raw material                 $ 17,382,957          $ 16,580,013
    Work in-process                 7,388,602             7,268,705
    Finished goods                 32,068,341            31,585,779

      Total inventories          $ 56,839,900          $ 55,434,497

4.  Effective January 1, 1996, the Company changed its method of
    accounting for its investment in life insurance contracts which were
    purchased to fund liabilities under deferred compensation agreements
    with executives and other key employees.  Prior to January 1, 1996,
    the Company accounted for its investments in life insurance contracts by
    capitalizing premiums under the ratable charge method (a method of
    accounting which was acceptable when the insurance contracts were
    originally acquired and continued to be acceptable for contracts acquired
    prior to November 14, 1985).  Effective January 1, 1996, the Company
    changed to the cash surrender value method of accounting which is the
    preferred method under generally accepted accounting principles, as this
    method more accurately reflects the economic value of the contracts.

    On January 1, 1996, the Company recorded a $2.3 million noncash credit
    for the cumulative effect of this accounting change.  This change also
    increased net income for the three months ended March 31, 1996 by
    $223,232 or $.03 per share.  On a pro forma basis, net income and net
    income per share for the three months ended March 31, 1995 would have 
    been $3,389,312 and $.46, respectively, if this accounting change had 
    been made prior to 1995.

5.  The Company was contingently liable at March 31, 1996 to banks and
    other financial institutions on repurchase agreements in connection
    with financing provided by such institutions to most of the
    Company's independent dealers in connection with their purchase of
    the Company's recreational vehicle products.  These agreements
    provide for the Company to repurchase its products from the
    financing institution in the event that they have repossessed them
    upon a dealer's default.  The risk of loss resulting from these
    agreements is spread over the Company's numerous dealers and is

                                Page 7
<PAGE>

    further reduced by the resale value of the products repurchased.
    The Company is involved in various legal proceedings which are
    ordinary litigations incidental to the industry and which are
    covered in whole or in part by insurance. Management believes that
    any liability which may result from these proceedings will not be
    significant.

NET SALES

Consolidated net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 were
$148,640,023, an increase of 12.8% over the $131,770,379 reported for the
corresponding quarter last year. The Company's vehicle segment, which
includes the parts and supply group of companies, experienced a net sales
increase of 13.8% and the Company's housing segment had a net sales increase
of 5.7%.  Vehicles experienced increases in both unit sales and unit sales
prices, as well as increases in market share.  Housing experienced an increase
in sales prices but a small decrease in unit sales due to shipments being
hampered by severe weather conditions and the resulting lack of foundations
to place homes on.

COST OF GOODS SOLD

Cost of goods sold increased 12.4% or $14,280,236 for the first quarter of
1996 over 1995.  This increase is generally in line with the increase in net
sales.  The slight decrease in cost of goods sold as a percentage of net 
sales is principally attributable to the product mix for the quarter.

SELLING AND DELIVERY EXPENSES

As a percentage of net sales, selling and delivery expenses were 5.1% and
4.9% for 1996 and 1995, respectively.  There was a .2% decrease in selling
expense as a percentage of net sales, primarily as the result of increased
demand for the Company's products, while delivery expenses increased .4%.
The recent expansion of the Company's housing segment into North Carolina and
Tennessee required the formation of new delivery and setting crews to cover
these geographical sales areas.  These crews include inexperienced personnel
who should return this expense category to a more historical percentage after
completion of a learning curve.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

General and administrative expenses were $5,599,626 or 3.8% of net sales for
the 1996 three months compared to $4,627,614 or 3.5% for the corresponding
1995 three months.  The most significant portion of the increase was due to
increased incentive compensation earned at an earlier point in the year as a
result of increased profits.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense was $440,089 in 1996 compared to $728,332 the prior year.
The decrease is primarily the result of a change to the cash surrender value
method of accounting for the Company's investment in life insurance
contracts.  These life insurance contracts were purchased to fund liabilities
under deferred compensation agreements with executives and other key
employees.  The interest costs associated with deferred compensation 
obligations and with the borrowings against the cash value of the insurance
policies are now partially offset by the increases in cash surrender values
each accounting period.  Previously, the increases in cash surrender values
were not recognized, since the investment in life insurance contracts
consisted only of the capitalized insurance premiums.

INTEREST INCOME

Interest income increased $62,909 for the 1996 quarter compared to 1995. The
amount is indicative of the increase in cash and temporary cash investments
in 1996 over the 1995 quarter. This increase in cash and temporary cash
investments was basically generated from operating activities throughout 1995.

GAIN ON THE SALE OF PROPERTIES, NET

The net gain on sale of properties for the first quarter of 1996 was $21,880
lower than in 1995.  This variance was the result of the disposition of
miscellaneous small properties.  Assets are continually analyzed and every
effort is made to sell or dispose of property that is idle or determined to
be unproductive.

OTHER, NET

Other income, net, represented income in the amount of $341,330 and $172,793
for the first three months of 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The increase over
1995 is primarily attributable to the receipt of key-man life insurance
proceeds in the first quarter of 1996.

INCOME TAXES

During the first quarter of 1996, the effective income tax rate was 35.4%
compared to an effective income tax rate of 37.0% for the same quarter in
1995. The decrease in the for 1996 is due to the amount of nontaxable income
recognized during the quarter.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company generally relies on funds from operations as its primary source
of liquidity. In addition, the Company maintains an unsecured committed line
of credit, which totaled $30 million at March 31, 1996, to meet its seasonal
working capital needs.  At March 31, 1996, there were no borrowings against
this line of credit. For the quarter, the major source of cash was from
operating activities.  The most significant items in this category were net
income and depreciation.  Significant increases in receivables and
inventories were basically offset by increases in accounts payable and
accrued expenses, including income taxes.  Investing activities reflected a
net use of cash of $2,226,126.  The principal use of cash in investing
activities was the investment in property and equipment.  The negative cash
flow for financing activities was primarily from cash dividends and payments
of long-term debt.  At March 31, 1996, the working capital increased $.9
million from December 31, 1995 to $61.5 million.

We are providing this letter to you for inclusion as an exhibit to your
Form 10-Q filing pursuant to Item 601 of Regulation S-K.

We have read management's justification for the change in accounting for
insurance contracts, from capitalizing premiums paid to the cash surrender
value method, contained in the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
March 31, 1996.  Based on our reading of the data  and discussions with
Company officials of the business judgment and business planning factors
relating to the change, we believe management's justification to be
reasonable.  Accordingly, we concur that the newly adopted accounting 
principle described above is preferable in the Company's circumstances to
the method previously applied.

We have not audited any financial statements of Coachmen Industries, Inc. as
of any date or for any period subsequent to December 31, 1995, nor have we
audited the application of the change in accounting principle disclosed in
Form 10-Q of Coachmen Industries, Inc. for the three months ended March 31,
1996; accordingly, our comments are subject to revision on completion of an
audit of the financial statements that include the accounting change.
