Commission in connection with the Company's offer to purchase (the "Offer")

up to 11,400,000 shares of Common stock of the Company, par value $1.00 per

share (the "Shares") (including the associated Series A Junior Participating

Preferred Stock Purchase Rights (the "Rights") issued pursuant to the Rights

Agreement dated as of November 10, 1988, between the Company and The First

National Bank of Boston, as Rights Agent), at a price, net to the sellers in

cash, without interest thereon, not greater than $31.00 nor less than $27.00

per Share, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the

Offer to Purchase dated May 31, 1996 and the related Letter of Transmittal,

7,731,783 Shares were validly tendered and not withdrawn, including Shares

                      FLEETWOOD ANNOUNCES RESULTS OF

                        DUTCH AUCTION TENDER OFFER


      RIVERSIDE, Calif., July 11, 1996 -- Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc., the

nation's leading producer of manufactured housing and recreational vehicles,

announced today that based on a preliminary count by the depositary for its

Dutch Auction tender offer, the Company expects to purchase approximately

7,826,000 shares of its Common stock, par value $1.00 per share, from its

stockholders at a price of $31.00 per share in accordance with the terms of

the offer.  The tender offer expired at 12:00 midnight (Eastern time) on

Wednesday, July 10, 1996.


      Under the terms of the tender offer, which commenced on May 31, 1996,

the Company had offered to purchase for cash up to 11,400,000 shares, or

approximately 25 percent, of its issued and outstanding Common stock at a

purchase price not greater than $31.00 nor less than $27.00 per share, net

to the seller in cash, without interest thereon.  Because fewer than

11,400,000 shares were tendered, the Company will purchase all of the shares

validly tendered in the offer.  The exact number of shares to be purchased

will be determined upon final review of the validity of all tender

documentation, which is expected to be completed in approximately one week.


      Payment for shares properly tendered and accepted will be made as

promptly as practicable, and, in the case of shares tendered by guaranteed

delivery procedures, promptly after timely delivery of shares and required

documentation.


      On May 29, 1996, the last full New York Stock Exchange trading day

prior to announcement of the tender offer, the closing price of the Common

stock was $27.625 per share.  The closing price of the Company's Common

stock on July 10, 1996, the last full New York Stock Exchange trading day

prior to expiration of the tender offer, was $30.75 per share.


      The shares that the Company expects to purchase in the tender offer

represent approximately 17 percent of the 45,640,442 shares outstanding

immediately prior to the commencement of the offer.  After the purchase of

the shares pursuant to the tender offer, the Company will have approximately

37,800,000 shares of Common stock outstanding.


      PaineWebber Incorporated acted as the financial advisor and dealer

manager for the tender offer.
