			MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
			     OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
			       RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
			       ---------------------


Quarter Ended October 31, 1995 vs.
	Quarter Ended October 31, 1994
- --------------------------------------

Net sales for the first quarter totaled $151,519,204, up 8.9% from $139,169,855 
in the same period last year.  Income before income taxes was $7,468,908 
compared to $9,448,317 in the same period last year.  This decline was 
primarily due to very competitive pricing in a soft recreational vehicle 
market.

Recreational vehicle revenues of $124,833,168 were 6.7% higher than last year 
and were 82.4% of total company revenues compared to 84.1% last year.  Bus 
revenues of $26,686,036 were 20.3% higher than last year and were 17.6% of 
total company revenues compared to 15.9% last year. 

Manufacturing gross profit decreased to 11.0% of sales from 14.0% last year.  
This decrease in gross profit was due primarily to very competitive pricing 
in a soft recreational vehicle market. 

Operating income totaled $7,427,845 down 21.3% from $9,433,479 in the same 
period last year.  Selling and administrative expenses decreased to 
$9,207,441, 6.1% of sales, from $10,002,149, 7.2% of sales.

Interest income increased by $75,795 and interest expense increased by 
$58,544.  This increase interest expense was due primarily to higher than 
normal chassis inventory.

The combined income tax rate was 40.9% compared to 38.8% last year.  Last
year's rates reflect favorable utilization of foreign tax credits.


Financial Condition and Liquidity
- ---------------------------------

As of October 31, 1995, Thor had $5,675,073 in cash and cash equivalents, 
compared to $6,820,796 on July 31, 1995.

Working capital at October 31, 1995 was $69,629,963 compared to $65,151,234 at 
July 31, 1995.  Inventory valued at current cost at October 31, 1995 exceeded 
the LIFO inventory by $2,549,597.

The Company currently has a $25,000,000 revolving line of credit with Harris 
Trust and Savings Bank and Bank One.  The amount borrowed under this line as 
of October 31, 1995 was $6,400,000.  The loan agreement contains certain 
covenants, including restrictions on additional indebtedness, and the Company 
must maintain certain financial ratios.  The line of credit bears interest at 
negotiated rates below prime and expires on November 29, 1996.  The Company 
had no long term debt as of October 31, 1995.  Amortization of intangibles 
increased from $670,320 at October 31, 1994, to $716,375 at October 31, 1995
due to acquistions in fiscal 1995.

On March 1, 1995, the Company purchased for cash certain assets and liabilities 
of Skamper Corporation, and on March 27, 1995, the Company purchased for cash 
certain assets of Lake Capital Corporation, doing business as Komfort 
Trailers.  The total cash price of both acquisitions was approximately 
$5,124,000.  The revenues and operating result of each entity is reflected in 
the consolidated statements of income of Thor Industries from time of 
acquisition forward. 

The Company believes that internally generated funds and the revolving credit 
agreement already in place will be sufficient to meet current operating needs 
and anticipated capital requirements.  

During the first quarter of fiscal 1996, Thor purchased 15,000 shares of its 
common stock, increasing treasury stock by $263,409.
