Introductory Statement.

    Pursuant  to Rule  13d-2 of the  General  Rules  and  Regulations  under the
Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), the Schedule 13D,
as  heretofore  amended  (the  "Schedule  13-D"),  previously  filed by Barry B.
Donnell (the "Reporting  Person") is hereby amended as described herein.  Except
as amended hereby, the Schedule 13-D as previously filed shall remain in effect.

Item 1. Security and Issuer.

     This  Amendment  No. 11 to  Schedule  13D  relates  to the shares of common
stock,  par value $0.10 per share (the "Common Stock") of Cavalier  Homes,  Inc.
(the "Company").  The principal  executive offices of the Company are located at
Highway 41 North & Cavalier Road, Addison, Alabama, 35540.


Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

    Item 3 of the Schedule  13D, as  heretofore  amended,  is hereby  amended as
follows:

    On October 16, 1996, the Reporting Person gifted 15,000 shares (adjusted for
the November 15, 1996 five for four stock  split)to  the Donnell  Foundation  of
which the Reporting Person is co-trustee.

    On January 17, 1997, the Reporting  Person was granted an option to purchase
125,000  shares  of  Common  Stock at an  exercise  price of  $10.625  per share
pursuant to the Cavalier Homes, Inc. 1996 Key Employee Stock Incentive Plan. The
options will become available for exercise on July 17, 1997.


Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

    Item 5 of the Schedule  13D, as  heretofore  amended,  is hereby  amended as
follows:

    For purposes of computing the percentage of shares beneficially owned by the
Reporting  Person,  shares which the  Reporting  Person has the right to acquire
within sixty days of this filing are deemed to be  outstanding as of the date of
this filing.  Therefore,  the percentage of Shares  beneficially  owned has been
computed on the basis of 12,533,132  shares of Common Stock  outstanding on July
17, 1997, based upon information  provided by the Company.  The number of shares
outstanding  and the  number of shares  reported  as  beneficially  owned by the
Reporting  Person  have been  adjusted  to reflect a  five-for-four  stock split
effected by the Company on November 15, 1996.

     (a) The  Reporting  Person is the  beneficial  owner of  813,515  shares of
Common  Stock owned  directly by him,  and 15,000  shares of Common  Stock owned
indirectly by him,  constituting 6.6% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding,
as determined  above.  On October 16, 1996,  the Reporting  Person gifted 15,000
shares(adjusted  for the  November 15, 1996 five for four stock split) of Common
Stock to the Donnell Foundation of which the Reporting Person is co-trustee.  On
January 17, 1997, the Reporting Person was granted an option to purchase 125,000
shares of Common Stock,  at an exercise price of $10.625 per share,  pursuant to
the Company's 1996 Key Employee Stock Incentive Plan. The shares of Common Stock
to be  acquired  upon  the  exercise  of such  options  are  being  reported  as
beneficially  owned by the Reporting  Person,  as they are exercisable as of the
date hereof or within 60 days thereafter.

     (b) The Reporting  Person has the sole power to vote or direct the vote and
the sole power to dispose or direct the  disposition  of the  813,515  shares of
Common Stock held directly by him. The Reporting Person has shared power to vote
or direct the vote and shared power to dispose or direct the  disposition of the
15,000  shares of Common  Stock  held by the  Donnell  Foundation,  of which the
Reporting Person is co-trustee.

     (c)  Since the filing of Amendment No. 10 to Schedule 13D, the Reporting
Person has effected the following transactions in the Common Stock:


                                No. of            Type of              Price
          Date                  Shares          Transaction          Per Share

          October 16, 1996       15,000*        Gift of Stock           N/A

          January 17, 1997      125,000         Grant of Stock          N/A
                                                Option under
                                                the 1996 Key
                                                Employee Stock
                                                Incentive Plan
