              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                        Three Months Ended July 31, 1995



NOTE 1.

In the opinion of management,  the accompanying unaudited 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 July 31, 1995,  and the
results of operations for the three month periods ended July 31, 1994, and 1995.

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 motor homes
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.

PART I.
ITEM 2

                     CRUISE AMERICA, INC., AND SUBSIDIARIES

              Management's Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated
                 Financial Condition and Results of Operations
                        Three Months ended July 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 and fourth fiscal quarters. Due to the seasonality of rental and sales
operations, certain accounts fluctuate from quarter to quarter.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of July 31, 1995,  the Company had current  liabilities  in excess of current
assets in the amount of $9,600,000. 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  estimates that if these assets were  classified as current  assets,
the Company would not have a working capital deficit.

The Company believes that,  during the next year, cash generated from operations
and financing  available  from banks and other  financial  institutions  will be
sufficient for its capital and operating needs.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 1995 AS COMPARED WITH
THREE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 1994

Rental Revenue for the quarter ended July 31, 1995, was $19,408,000  compared to
15,738,000  reported for the quarter ended July 31, 1994.  This  improvement was
due to a 34%  increase  in  revenue  days  offset in part by an 8%  decrease  in
revenue per day.

Sales  for the  quarter  ended  July 31,  1995,  were  $9,148,000,  compared  to
$10,082,000, for the same period a year ago. The Company limited wholesale sales
in the quarter as the need to dispose of older fleet vehicles has diminished.

Cost of Rentals as a percentage of Rental  Revenue was 31% in 1995,  compared to
33% in 1994. The improvement in the current year is due to the Company operating
its fleet at higher  utilization  levels,  which has had the impact of  reducing
costs as a percentage of revenue.

Cost of Sales as a  percentage  of Sales was 84% for the quarter  ended July 31,
1995,  compared to 83% in 1994.  This  increase is due to a slight change in the
mix of vehicles sold toward lower margin new vehicle sales.

Interest Expense for the quarter ended July 31, 1995, was $1,770,000 compared to
$1,432,000 in 1994. This increase is due primarily to increased average interest
rates.

Selling,  General  and  Administrative  Expenses  were  $6,202,000  in the first
quarter  compared to  $5,836,000 a year ago.  This  increase is due to increased
expenses incurred in order to meet the Company's increased rental demand.
