              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                       Nine Months Ended October 31, 1995

NOTE 1.
- ------

In the opinion of management,  the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial  statements  contain all the  adjustments  (principally  consisting of
normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position of
Cruise America,  Inc. and Subsidiaries  (the Company) as of October 31, 1995 and
the  results  of  operations  for the three  month and six month  periods  ended
October 31, 1995 and 1994.

Certain items in the prior year financial  statements have been  reclassified to
conform with the current period presentations.

Effective May 1, 1995,  the Company began  allocating the cost of new motorhomes
between the chassis and house  components  and is  depreciating  the  components
using the  straight-line and mileage methods over 9 year lives with residuals of
10% to 25%.  The  impact  of this  change  is not  expected  to be  material  to
operating results for the year.

                     CRUISE AMERICA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

              Management's Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated
                 Financial Condition and Results of Operations
                       Six Months Ended October 31, 1995

SEASONALITY
- -----------

The Company's business is seasonal. In the first and second fiscal quarters, the
Company  historically  records profits.  In the third and fourth  quarters,  the
Company  historically  records losses. The Company's purchases of motorhomes for
the rental fleet are also seasonal, with the majority of purchases being made in
the first fiscal quarter. Due to the seasonality of rental and sales operations,
certain accounts fluctuate from quarter to quarter.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

As of  October  31,  1995,  the  Company  had  working  capital in the amount of
$469,000.  The Company's working capital,  as presented,  includes a significant
portion of rental vehicle  financing.  The Company's  working  capital does not,
however,  include  any  portion of the related  assets - rental  vehicles,  even
though a  significant  portion of these  vehicles are expected to be sold during
the year through the Company's normal fleet rotation. The Company believes that,
during the next year,  cash  generated from  operations  and existing  financing
available from banks and other financial institutions will be sufficient for its
capital and operating  needs. At October 31, 1995, the Company believes it is in
compliance  with all  debt  covenants  associated  with  its  various  financing
agreements.

SIX MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1995 AS COMPARED WITH
- --------------------------------------------------
SIX MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1994
- ---------------------------------

Rental  Revenue  for the six  months  ended  October  31,  1995 was  $38,057,000
compared to $30,136,000  for the six months ended October 31, 1994. This was due
primarily to a 31% increase in revenue days,  which was offset  slightly by a 4%
decline in revenue per day.

Sales for the six months  ended  October 31, 1995 were  $24,166,000  compared to
$30,647,000  for the same period a year ago. Sales revenue  declined for several
reasons.  Fewer  rental  vehicles  were  available  for sale  due to high  fleet
utilization rates; the number of RV sales facilities operated by the Company has
been  reduced;  and new vehicle  sales have been  affected  by an  industry-wide
slowdown in demand.

Cost of Rentals as a  percentage  of Rental  Revenue  was 36% for the six months
ended  October  31,  1995  compared  to 38% in 1994.  This  improvement  was due
primarily to an increase in vehicle utilization to 68% in 1995 from 58% in 1994.

Cost of Sales as a percentage  of Sales  decreased  slightly to 89% in 1995 from
90% in 1994.  This increase in  profitability  was a result of a slight shift in
the mix of sales toward higher margin used vehicle sales.

Interest  expense  for the six months  ended  October  31,  1995 was  $3,778,000
compared to $2,775,000 in 1994. The increase was due primarily to an increase in
average interest rates as well as slightly higher average borrowings.

Selling,  general,  and  administrative  expenses  increased  slightly to 20% of
revenue in 1995 from 18% in 1994.  This increase is due to incremental  expenses
incurred in order to meet the  Company's  increased  rental  demand as well as a
shift in revenue mix toward  more rental  revenue.  More  personnel  expense and
administrative  expenses are required  for the rental  portion of the  Company's
operations.

THREE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1995 AS COMPARED WITH
- ----------------------------------------------------
THREE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1994
- -----------------------------------

Rental Revenue for the quarter ended October 31, 1995 was  $18,649,000  compared
to  $14,398,000  reported for the quarter ended October 31, 1994.  This increase
was due to a 30% increase in revenue days.

Sales for the  quarter  ended  October  31,  1995 were  $15,018,000  compared to
$20,565,000 for the same period a year ago. High rental fleet utilization, fewer
sales facilities, and an industry-wide slowdown in new vehicle sales caused this
decrease in sales.

Cost of Rentals as a percentage  of Rental  Revenue was 41% in 1995  compared to
43% in 1994. This improvement was the result of higher utilization of the rental
fleet.

Cost of Sales as a  percentage  of Sales  decreased  to 92% in 1995  from 94% in
1994.  This  decrease  was  primarily  due to an increase in higher  margin used
vehicle sales as a percentage of total sales.

Selling,  general,  and  administrative  expenses increased to 18% of revenue in
1995 from 15% of revenue in 1994.  This increase is due to expenses  relating to
the Company's  increased  rental demand as well as a shift in revenue mix toward
rental revenue.
