    The Fleetwood Credit 1997-B Grantor Trust Asset Backed Certificates (the
"Certificates") will consist of one class of senior certificates (the "Class A
Certificates") and one class of subordinated certificates (the "Class B
Certificates"). Principal, and interest to the extent of the Class A
Pass-Through Rate of     % per annum, and the Class B Pass-Through Rate of     %
per annum, will be distributed to the Class A Certificateholders and Class B
Certificateholders, respectively, on the 15th day of each month (or, if such day
is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day), beginning October
15, 1997. The Final Scheduled Distribution Date will be the May 15, 2013
Distribution Date.
    
 
   
    The Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates will respectively
evidence in the aggregate undivided ownership interests of 96.5% and 3.5% of the
Fleetwood Credit 1997-B Grantor Trust (the "Trust"). The Trust will be formed
pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement to be entered into among Fleetwood
Credit Receivables Corp., as Seller (the "Seller"), Fleetwood Credit Corp., as
Servicer ("Fleetwood Credit" or, in its capacity as Servicer, the "Servicer"),
and The Chase Manhattan Bank, as Trustee (the "Trustee"). The rights of the
Class B Certificateholders to receive distributions of interest and principal
will be subordinated to the rights of the Class A Certificateholders to the
limited extent described herein.
    
 
   
    The property of the Trust will primarily include a pool of simple interest
retail installment sale contracts (the "Initial Receivables") secured by new and
used recreational vehicles (the "Initial Financed Vehicles"), certain monies due
under the Initial Receivables on and after September 1, 1997, security interests
in the Initial Financed Vehicles, monies on deposit in a trust account (the
"Pre-Funding Account") to be established with the Trustee and certain other
property, as more fully described herein. From time to time on or before
November 17, 1997, additional simple interest retail installment sale contracts
(the "Subsequent Receivables" and, together with the Initial Receivables, the
"Receivables") secured by new and used recreational vehicles (the "Subsequent
Financed Vehicles" and, together with the Initial Financed Vehicles, the
"Financed Vehicles"), will be purchased by the Trust from the Seller from monies
on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account. In each case, the Receivables, including
the security interests in the Financed Vehicles, will be purchased by the Seller
from Fleetwood Credit concurrently with their conveyance to the Trust. See
"Property of the Trust."
    
                          ---------------------------
    There currently is no market for either Class of Certificates and there is
no assurance that one will develop. The Underwriters expect, but will not be
obligated, to make a market in each Class of Certificates. There is no assurance
that any such market will develop, or if one does develop, that it will continue
or that it will provide sufficient liquidity.
                          ---------------------------
   
 THE CERTIFICATES WILL REPRESENT INTERESTS IN THE TRUST AND WILL NOT REPRESENT
  INTERESTS IN OR OBLIGATIONS OF FLEETWOOD CREDIT RECEIVABLES CORP., FLEETWOOD
CREDIT CORP., ASSOCIATES FIRST CAPITAL CORPORATION, THE TRUSTEE OR ANY OF THEIR
                             RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES.
    
    THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES
           AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION
          NOR HAS THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE

                ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION
                     TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

                             represented by one or more certificates registered
                             in the name of Cede & Co. ("Cede"), as the nominee
                             of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"). No person

                             and, together with the Class A Certificate Owners,
                             the "Certificate Owners") will be entitled to
                             receive a definitive certificate representing such
                             person's interest, except in the event that
                             Definitive Certificates of the related Class are
                             issued under the limited circumstances described
                             herein. Unless and until Certificates of a Class
                             are issued in definitive form, all references
                             herein to distributions, notices, reports and
                             statements to and to actions by and effects upon
                             the related Certificateholders will refer to the
                             same actions and effects with respect to DTC or
                             Cede, as the case may be, for the benefit of the
                             related Certificate Owners in accordance with DTC
                             procedures. See "The Certificates -- General,"

                             Certificates."
 
Class A Pass-Through
Rate......................      % per annum, calculated on the basis of a
                             360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months
                             (the "Class A Pass-Through Rate"), payable monthly.
 
Class B Pass-Through
Rate......................      % per annum, calculated on the basis of a
                             360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months
                             (the "Class B Pass-Through Rate"), payable monthly.
 
The Receivables........... The Receivables arise from simple interest retail
                             installment sale contracts originated by dealers in
                             new and used recreational vehicles (the "Dealers")
                             which are purchased by Fleetwood Credit. All of the
                             Receivables will be selected from the contracts
                             owned by Fleetwood Credit based upon the criteria
                             described under "The Receivables" and "The
                             Certificates -- Sale and Assignment of the
                             Receivables."
 
   
                           On or before the date of initial issuance of the
                             Certificates (the "Closing Date"), Fleetwood Credit
                             will sell the Initial Receivables to the Seller
                             pursuant to a receivables purchase agreement to be
                             dated as of September 1, 1997 (the "Receivables
                             Purchase Agreement"), between the Seller and
                             Fleetwood Credit. The Seller, in turn, will sell
                             the Initial Receivables to the Trust pursuant to
                             the Agreement. As of the Initial Cutoff Date, the
                             Initial Receivables had an aggregate principal
                             balance of $311,845,802.40, a weighted average
                             annual percentage rate (the "APR") of 9.69%, a
                             weighted average original maturity of 154.53 months
                             and a weighted average remaining maturity of 148.86
                             months.
    
 
   
                           From time to time during the Funding Period, pursuant
                             to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, Fleetwood
                             Credit will be obligated to sell, and the Seller
                             will be obligated to purchase, Subsequent
                             Receivables at a purchase price equal to the
                             aggregate principal amount thereof as of a date in
                             the related month of transfer designated by
                             Fleetwood Credit and the Seller (each, a
                             "Subsequent Cutoff Date"). Pursuant to the
                             Agreement and one or more transfer agreements
                             (each, a "Transfer Agreement") among the Seller,
                             the Servicer and the Trustee, and subject to the
                             satisfaction of certain conditions described
                             herein, the Seller will in turn sell the Subsequent
                             Receivables to the Trust at a purchase price
    
                                        4
<PAGE>   6
 
   
                             equal to the amount paid by the Seller to Fleetwood
                             Credit for such Subsequent Receivables, which
                             purchase price shall be paid from monies on deposit
                             in the Pre-Funding Account. The aggregate principal
                             balance of the Subsequent Receivables to be
                             conveyed to the Trust during the Funding Period
                             will not exceed $38,154,197.60 (i.e., 10.9% of the
                             sum of the Original Class A Certificate Balance and
                             the Original Class B Certificate Balance).
                             Subsequent Receivables will be transferred from
                             Fleetwood Credit to the Seller and from the Seller
                             to the Trust on the Business Day specified by
                             Fleetwood Credit and the Seller during the month in
                             which the related Subsequent Cutoff Date occurs
                             (each, a "Subsequent Transfer Date").
    
 
   
The Pre-Funding Account... The Pre-Funding Account will be established by
                             Fleetwood Credit, maintained as a trust account
                             with the Trustee and is designed solely to hold
                             funds to be applied by the Trustee during the
                             Funding Period to pay to the Seller the purchase
                             price for Subsequent Receivables. Monies on deposit
                             in the Pre-Funding Account will not be available to
                             cover losses on or in respect of the Receivables.
    
 
   
                           The Pre-Funding Account will be created with an
                             initial deposit by the Seller of $38,154,197.60
                             (the "Pre-Funded Amount"). The "Funding Period"
                             will be the period from the Closing Date until the
                             earliest to occur of (i) the date on which the
                             remaining Pre-Funded Amount is less than $100,000,
                             (ii) the date on which an Event of Default occurs
                             or (iii) the close of business on the November 17,
                             1997 Distribution Date. During the Funding Period,
                             on one or more Subsequent Transfer Dates, the
                             Trustee will use the Pre-Funded Amount to purchase
                             Subsequent Receivables from the Seller. The Seller
                             expects that the Pre-Funded Amount will be reduced
                             to less than $100,000 by the November 17, 1997
                             Distribution Date, although no assurances can be
                             given in this regard. Any portion of the Pre-Funded
                             Amount remaining on deposit in the Pre-Funding
                             Account at the end of the Funding Period will be
                             payable as principal to Certificateholders in
                             accordance with their respective Class Percentages.
                             See "The Certificates -- General" and "-- The
                             Pre-Funding Account; Mandatory Prepayment of the
                             Certificates."
    
 
   
Interest.................. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee will
                             distribute (i) to holders of the Class A
                             Certificates (the "Class A Certificateholders") of
                             record as of the day immediately preceding such
                             Distribution Date or, if Definitive Certificates
                             are issued, the last day of the immediately
                             preceding calendar month (each such date, a "Record
                             Date"), interest in an amount equal to one-twelfth
                             of the product of the Class A Pass-Through Rate,
                             calculated on the basis of a 360-day year
                             consisting of twelve 30-day months, and the Class A
                             Certificate Balance as of the immediately preceding
                             Distribution Date (after giving effect to
                             distributions of principal made on such immediately
                             preceding Distribution Date), and (ii) to holders
                             of the Class B Certificates (the "Class B
                             Certificateholders" and, together with the Class A
                             Certificateholders, the "Certificateholders") of
                             record as of the related Record Date, interest in
                             an amount equal to one-twelfth of the product of
                             the Class B Pass-Through Rate, calculated on the
                             basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day
                             months, and the Class B Certificate Balance as of
                             the immediately preceding Distribution Date (after
                             giving effect to distributions of principal made on
                             such immediately preceding Distribution Date). In
                             the case of the first Distribution

                             Date, the Trustee will distribute to
                             Certificateholders of record as of the related
                             Record Date interest in an amount equal to (a) the
                             product of (i) the Class A Pass-Through Rate or
                             Class B Pass-Through Rate, as the case may be, (ii)
                             the Original Class A Certificate Balance or
                             Original Class B Certificate Balance, as the case
                             may be, and (iii) the number of days from and
                             including the Closing Date to but excluding such
                             Distribution Date, (b) divided by 360. The rights
                             of the Class B Certificateholders to receive
                             distributions of interest, to the extent of
                             collections on or in respect of the Receivables
                             allocable to interest and certain available amounts
                             on deposit in the Reserve Fund, will be
                             subordinated to the rights of Class A
                             Certificateholders to receive distributions of
                             interest, but will not be subordinated to the
                             rights of Class A Certificateholders to receive
                             distributions of principal, as described herein.
    
 
   
                           The "Class A Certificate Balance" will initially
                             equal $337,750,000.00 (the "Original Class A
                             Certificate Balance") and on any Distribution Date
                             will equal the Original Class A Certificate
                             Balance, reduced by all distributions actually made
                             on or prior to such Distribution Date to Class A
                             Certificateholders. The "Class B Certificate
                             Balance" will initially equal $12,250,000.00 (the
                             "Original Class B Certificate Balance") and on any
                             Distribution Date will equal the Original Class B
                             Certificate Balance, reduced by (i) all
                             distributions actually made on or prior to such
                             Distribution Date to Class B Certificateholders and

                             distribute pro rata (i) to Class A
                             Certificateholders of record as of the related
                             Record Date an amount equal to the Class A
                             Percentage of all payments received by the Servicer
                             during the immediately preceding calendar month
                             (each, a "Collection Period") allocable to
                             principal on or in respect of the Receivables and
                             (ii) to Class B Certificateholders of record as of
                             the related Record Date an amount equal to the
                             Class B Percentage of all payments received by the
                             Servicer during the related Collection Period
                             allocable to principal on or in respect of the
                             Receivables. The rights of the Class B
                             Certificateholders to receive distributions of
                             principal will be subordinated to the rights of the
                             Class A Certificateholders to receive distributions
                             of interest and principal to the limited extent
                             described herein.

                             Distribution Date.
    
 
   
Mandatory Prepayment...... The Certificates will be prepaid in part on the
                             Distribution Date immediately succeeding the date
                             on which the Funding Period ends (or on the
                             Distribution Date on which the Funding Period ends
                             if the Funding Period ends on a Distribution Date)
                             in the event that any portion of the Pre-Funded
                             Amount remains on deposit in the Pre-Funding
                             Account after giving effect to the acquisition by
                             the Seller and sale to the Trust of all Subsequent

                             conveyance on the date on which the Funding Period
                             ends (a "Mandatory Prepayment"). The amount to be

                             in connection with any Mandatory Prepayment will

                             the case may be, multiplied by the remaining
                             Pre-Funded Amount. See "The Certificates -- The

Subordination of the
  Class B Certificates;
  Reserve Fund............ The rights of the Class B Certificateholders to
                             receive distributions with respect to the
                             Receivables will be subordinated to the rights of
                             the Class A Certificateholders to the limited
                             extent described herein. This subordination is
                             intended to enhance the likelihood of timely
                             receipt by Class A Certificateholders of the full
                             amount of interest and principal required to be
                             paid to them, and to afford such Class A
                             Certificateholders limited protection against
                             losses in respect of the Receivables.
 
   
                           No distribution will be made to the Class B
                             Certificateholders on any Distribution Date in
                             respect of (i) interest until the full amount of
                             interest on the Class A Certificates payable on
                             such Distribution Date has been distributed to the
                             Class A Certificateholders and (ii) principal until
                             the full amount of interest on and principal of the
                             Class A Certificates payable on such Distribution
                             Date has been distributed to the Class A
                             Certificateholders. Distributions of interest on
                             the Class B Certificates, to the extent of
                             collections on or in respect of the Receivables
                             allocable to interest and certain available amounts
                             on deposit in the Reserve Fund, will not be
                             subordinated to the payment of principal on the
                             Class A Certificates.
    
 
                           The protection afforded to the Class A
                             Certificateholders by the subordination feature
                             described above will be effected both by the
                             preferential right of the Class A
                             Certificateholders to receive, to the extent
                             described herein, current distributions from
                             collections on or in respect of the Receivables and
                             by the establishment of a segregated trust account
                             held by the Trustee for the benefit of the
                             Certificateholders (the "Reserve Fund"). The
                             Reserve Fund will not be part of the Trust.
 
   
                           The Reserve Fund will be funded by the Seller on the
                             Closing Date in an amount equal to $2,625,000 plus
                             an amount attributable to the maximum aggregate
                             Negative Carry Amount. Thereafter, on each
                             Distribution Date all Excess Amounts, if any, will
                             be deposited from time to time in the Reserve Fund
                             to the extent necessary to maintain the Reserve
                             Fund at an amount to be specified in the Agreement
                             (the "Specified Reserve Fund Balance"). "Excess
                             Amounts" in respect of a Distribution Date will be
                             all interest collections on or in respect of the
                             Receivables on deposit in the Certificate Account
                             in respect of such Distribution Date, after the
                             Servicer has been reimbursed for any outstanding
                             Advances and has been paid the Servicing Fee
                             (including any unpaid Servicing Fees with respect
                             to one or more prior Collection Periods) and after
                             giving effect to all distributions of interest and
                             principal required to be made to the Class A and
                             Class B Certificateholders on such Distribution
                             Date. The Specified Reserve Fund Balance for the
                             first Distribution Date will be $2,625,000 plus an
                             amount attributable to the maximum aggregate
                             Negative Carry Amount and on any Distribution Date
                             thereafter will be calculated as described under
                             "The Certificates -- Subordination of the Class B
                             Certificates; Reserve Fund." On each Distribution
                             Date, funds will be withdrawn from the Reserve Fund
                             for distribution, first, to Class A

                             Certificateholders to the extent of shortfalls in
                             the amounts available to make required
                             distributions of interest on the Class A
                             Certificates, second, to Class B Certificateholders
                             to the extent of shortfalls in the amounts
                             available to make required distributions of
                             interest on the Class B Certificates, third, to
                             Class A Certificateholders to the extent of
                             shortfalls in the amounts available to make
                             required distributions of principal on the Class A
                             Certificates and fourth, to Class B
                             Certificateholders to the extent of shortfalls in
                             the amounts available to make required
                             distributions of principal on the Class B
                             Certificates. In addition, on each Distribution
                             Date relating to the Funding Period, the Negative
                             Carry Amount, if any, will be withdrawn from the
                             Reserve Fund and deposited into the Certificate
                             Account.
    
 
   
                           On each Distribution Date, after giving effect to all
                             distributions made on such Distribution Date, any
                             amounts in the Reserve Fund in excess of the
                             Specified Reserve Fund Balance will be distributed
                             to the Seller and upon such distribution the
                             Certificateholders will have no further rights in,
                             or claims to, such amounts. Notwithstanding the
                             foregoing, during the Funding Period, all Excess
                             Amounts will be deposited into the Reserve Fund and
                             will not be paid to the Seller until the
                             Distribution Date immediately succeeding the date
                             on which the Funding Period ends (or on the
                             Distribution Date on which the Funding Period ends
                             if the Funding Period ends on a Distribution Date).
                             See "The Certificates -- Subordination of the Class
                             B Certificates; Reserve Fund."
    
 
   
Advances.................. On the Business Day immediately preceding each
                             Distribution Date, the Servicer will advance, in
                             respect of each Receivable, an amount equal to all
                             interest at the related APR which accrued in
                             respect of such Receivable from the last day upon
                             which a payment was made on such Receivable through
                             the last day of the related Collection Period. The
                             Servicer will be required to make an Advance only
                             to the extent it determines, in its reasonable
                             judgment, such Advance will be recoverable from
                             future payments and collections on or in respect of
                             the Receivables or otherwise. See "The Certificates
                             -- Certain Payments by the Servicer."
    
 
Servicing Fee............. The Servicer will receive a monthly fee, payable on
                             each Distribution Date, equal to one-twelfth of the
                             product of 1.0% (the "Servicing Fee Rate") and the
                             Pool Balance as of the first day of the related
                             Collection Period. The Servicer will be entitled to
                             receive additional servicing compensation in the
                             form of certain late fees, prepayment charges and
                             other administrative fees or similar charges. See
                             "The Certificates -- Servicing Compensation."
 
   
Termination............... The Seller and the Servicer, or any successor to the
                             Servicer, will each have the option to purchase
                             from the Trust all Receivables then outstanding and
                             all other property in the Trust on any Distribution
                             Date following the last day of a Collection Period
                             as of which the Pool Balance is less than 10% of
                             the sum of the Pool Balance as of the Initial
                             Cutoff Date (the "Original Pool Balance") and the
                             aggregate principal balance of all Subsequent
                             Receivables conveyed to the Trust as of the related
                             Subsequent Cutoff Dates at a purchase price
                             determined as described under "The
                             Certificates -- Termination."

                           If neither the Seller nor the Servicer exercises its
                             optional termination right within 90 days after the
                             last day of the Collection Period as of which such
                             right can first be exercised, the Trustee shall
                             solicit bids for the purchase of all Receivables
                             remaining in the Trust. In the event that
                             satisfactory bids are received as described in "The
                             Certificates -- Termination," the sale proceeds
                             will be distributed to Certificateholders on the
                             second Distribution Date succeeding the last day of
                             such Collection Period. If satisfactory bids are
                             not received, the Trustee shall decline to sell the
                             Receivables and shall not be under any obligation
                             to solicit any further bids or otherwise negotiate
                             any further sale of the Receivables. See "The
                             Certificates -- Termination."
    
 
   
Ratings................... It is a condition to the issuance of the Certificates
                             that the Class A Certificates be rated Aaa by
                             Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's") and AAA
                             by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services ("Standard &
                             Poor's" and, together with Moody's, the "Rating
                             Agencies") and the Class B Certificates be rated
                             Baa2 by Moody's and A by Standard & Poor's. The
                             ratings of each Class of Certificates will be based
                             primarily on the value of the Initial Receivables,
                             the Pre-Funding Account, the terms of the
                             Certificates and the Reserve Fund. The foregoing
                             ratings do not address the likelihood that the
                             Certificates will be retired following the sale of
                             the Receivables by the Trustee as described above
                             under "Termination."
    
 
                           There is no assurance that any rating will not be
                             lowered or withdrawn by the assigning Rating Agency
                             if, in its judgment, circumstances so warrant. In
                             the event that the rating initially assigned to the
                             Class A Certificates or the Class B Certificates is
                             subsequently lowered or withdrawn for any reason,
                             no person or entity will be obligated to provide
                             any additional credit enhancement with respect to
                             such Certificates. There can be no assurance
                             whether any other rating agency will rate the Class
                             A Certificates or the Class B Certificates, or if
                             one does, what rating would be assigned by any such
                             other rating agency. A security rating is not a
                             recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities.
 
Tax Status................ In the opinion of special federal tax counsel to the
                             Seller, the Trust will be classified as a grantor
                             trust for federal income tax purposes and not as an
                             association taxable as a corporation. For federal
                             income tax purposes, the Certificateholders will be
                             considered to own interests in stripped bonds and
                             stripped coupons. See "Certain Federal Income Tax
                             Consequences." Certificateholders should consult
                             their own tax advisors as to the proper treatment
                             of original issue discount with respect to the
                             Receivables and the application of the stripped
                             bond rules.
 
ERISA Considerations...... Subject to the conditions described herein, the Class
                             A Certificates may be purchased by employee benefit
                             plans that are subject to the Employee Retirement
                             Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA").
                             SINCE THE CLASS B CERTIFICATES WILL BE SUBORDINATED
                             TO THE CLASS A CERTIFICATES, EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
                             SUBJECT TO ERISA WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE TO PURCHASE
                             CLASS B CERTIFICATES. Any benefit plan fiduciary
                             considering purchase of the Certificates should,
                             among other things, consult with its counsel in
                             determining whether all required conditions have
                             been satisfied. See "ERISA Considerations."

                             FORMATION OF THE TRUST
 
     The Seller will establish the Trust by selling and assigning the property
of the Trust to the Trustee in exchange for the Certificates. The Servicer will
service the Receivables pursuant to the Agreement and will be compensated for
acting as such. To facilitate servicing and to minimize administrative burden
and expense, the Servicer will be appointed custodian for the Receivables by the
Trustee, but will not stamp the Receivables to reflect the sale and assignment
of the Receivables to the Trust, amend the certificates of title of the Financed
Vehicles or execute any transfer instrument (including, among other instruments,
UCC-3 assignments) relating to any Financed Vehicles. Consequently, in some
states, in the absence of such amendments and actions, the Trustee will have
certain risks with respect to its security interests in the Financed Vehicles.
See "Certain Legal Aspects of the Receivables."
 
     If the protection provided to (i) the Class A Certificateholders by the
subordination of the Class B Certificates and by the Reserve Fund and (ii) the
Class B Certificateholders by the Reserve Fund is insufficient, the Trust will
look only to payments made by or on behalf of the Obligors on or in respect of
the Receivables, the proceeds from the repossession and sale of Financed
Vehicles securing Defaulted Receivables and the proceeds of Dealer repurchase
obligations, if any, more fully described below under "Property of the Trust,"
to make distributions on the Certificates. In such event, certain factors, such
as the failure of the Trustee to possess first perfected security interests in
the Financed Vehicles, may limit the ability of the Trust to realize on the
collateral securing the Receivables or may limit the amount realized to less
than the amount owed by the related Obligors. Certificateholders may thus be
subject to delays in payment and may incur losses on their investment in the
Certificates as a result of defaults or delinquencies by Obligors and
depreciation in the value of the related Financed Vehicles. The rights of the
Class B Certificateholders to receive distributions of principal will be
subordinated to the rights of the Class A Certificateholders to receive
distributions of interest and principal to the extent described herein. See "The
Certificates -- Subordination of the Class B Certificates; Reserve Fund" and
"Certain Legal Aspects of the Receivables."
 
                             PROPERTY OF THE TRUST
 
   
     Each Certificate will represent a fractional undivided interest in the
Trust. The property of the Trust will include a pool of simple interest retail
installment sale contracts, originated on or before August 31, 1997 in the case
of the Initial Receivables and on or before November 17, 1997 in the case of the
Subsequent Receivables, between Dealers in new and used recreational vehicles,
manufactured primarily by Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc. ("Fleetwood Enterprises"),
and retail purchasers of those vehicles (the "Obligors"), and certain monies due
thereunder on and after the Initial Cutoff Date or the related Subsequent Cutoff
Date, as the case may be, and amounts on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account. The
Initial Receivables were, and the Subsequent Receivables will be, originated by
Dealers and subsequently assigned to Fleetwood Credit. Such Receivables will be
serviced by Fleetwood Credit and evidence the indirect financing made available
by Fleetwood Credit to the Obligors. On or before the Closing Date, Fleetwood
Credit will sell the Initial Receivables to the Seller, which, in turn will sell
them to the Trust. It is anticipated that Subsequent Receivables will be
conveyed to the Trust on one or more Subsequent Transfer Dates during the
Funding Period.
    
 
   
     Neither the Seller nor the Servicer may substitute any other retail
installment sale contract for any Receivable sold to the Trust during the term
of the Agreement. The assets of the Trust will also include: (i) such amounts as
from time to time may be held in the Certificate Account, an interest bearing
trust account to be established and maintained by the Servicer with the Trustee
pursuant to the Agreement; (ii) security interests in the Financed Vehicles and
any accessions thereto; (iii) the right to proceeds from physical damage, credit
life and disability insurance policies, if any, covering individual Financed
Vehicles or Obligors, as the case may be; (iv) the right to receive proceeds of
Dealer repurchase obligations, if any; (v) any Servicer Letter of Credit; (vi)
the rights of the Seller under the Receivables Purchase Agreement; and (vii) any
and all proceeds of the foregoing. The Reserve Fund will be maintained with the
Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, but will not be property of
the Trust.

<PAGE>   12
 
     The "Pool Balance" as of the first day of a Collection Period will
represent the aggregate principal balance of the Receivables at the end of the
immediately preceding Collection Period, after giving effect to all payments of
principal received from or on behalf of Obligors and all payments of principal
on Receivables to be repurchased remitted by the Seller or the Servicer, as the
case may be, all for such immediately preceding Collection Period. The Pool
Balance will be computed by allocating payments on or in respect of the
Receivables to principal and to interest using the simple interest method. The
"Original Pool Balance" will mean the Pool Balance as of the Cutoff Date.
 
   
     The Pool Balance as of the Initial Cutoff Date will equal the Original Pool
Balance. The Pool Balance will be increased during the Funding Period by the
principal amount of Subsequent Receivables conveyed to the Trust as of the
related Subsequent Cutoff Dates. Any such additions of Subsequent Receivables
will be conditioned on the compliance with the procedures described in the
Receivables Purchase Agreement and the Agreement. The Seller expects that the
principal balances of the Subsequent Receivables to be added to the Trust will
require application of the entire Pre-Funded Amount by the November 17, 1997
Distribution Date; however, there can be no assurance that a sufficient amount
of Subsequent Receivables will be available for such purpose. If the Pre-Funded
Amount has not been reduced to zero by the end of the Funding Period, the
remaining portion thereof will be distributed to Certificateholders as a
prepayment of principal as described under "The Certificates -- The Pre-Funding
Account; Mandatory Prepayment of the Certificates."
    
 
     Pursuant to agreements between Fleetwood Credit and the Dealers, each
Dealer is obligated after origination to repurchase from Fleetwood Credit
recreational vehicle receivables which do not meet certain representations and
warranties made by such Dealer. Such representations and warranties relate
primarily to the origination of the receivables and the perfection of the
security interests in the related financed vehicles, and do not typically relate
to the creditworthiness of the related obligors or the collectability of such
receivables. Although any Dealer agreements with respect to the Receivables will
not be assigned to the Trustee, the Agreement will require that any recovery by
Fleetwood Credit pursuant to Dealer repurchase obligations be deposited in the
Certificate Account in satisfaction of the Servicer's repurchase obligations
under the Agreement. It is expected that the assignments by the Dealers of
receivables to Fleetwood Credit will not generally provide for recourse to the
Dealer for unpaid amounts in the event of a default by an Obligor, other than in
connection with a breach of the Dealer's representations and warranties.
 
                                THE RECEIVABLES
 
   
     The Receivables will have been purchased by Fleetwood Credit from Dealers
in the ordinary course of business. The Initial Receivables were, and the
Subsequent Receivables will be, selected from Fleetwood Credit's portfolio of
recreational vehicle retail installment sale contracts by several criteria,
including the following: (i) each Receivable was originated in the United States
of America; (ii) each Receivable has a fixed APR equal to or greater than 7.75%;
(iii) each Receivable provides for level monthly payments which provide interest
at the related APR and fully amortize the amount financed over an original term
of no greater than 180 months; (iv) each Receivable is not more than 30 days
past due as of the Initial Cutoff Date or the relevant Subsequent Cutoff Date,
as the case may be; and (v) in the case of Obligors in the military service
(including an Obligor who is a member of the National Guard or is in the
reserves) whose Receivable is subject to the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief
Act of 1940, as amended (the "Soldiers' and Sailors' Relief Act"), or the
California Military Reservist Relief Act of 1991 (the "Military Reservist Relief
Act"), each such Obligor (each, a "Relief Act Obligor") must not have made a
claim to Fleetwood Credit that (A) the amount of interest on the related
Receivable should be limited to 6% pursuant to the Soldiers' and Sailors' Relief
Act during the period of such Obligor's active duty status or (B) payments on
such Receivable should be delayed pursuant to the Military Reservist Relief Act.
Interest in respect of the Receivables will accrue on a simple interest method
(i.e., the interest portion of each monthly payment will equal the interest on
the outstanding principal balance of the related Receivable for the number of
days since the most recent payment made on such Receivable and the balance, if
any, of such monthly payment will be applied to principal). The Financed
Vehicles will consist of motor homes and travel trailers.

     As of the Initial Cutoff Date, approximately 67% of the Initial
Receivables, by Original Pool Balance, were secured by motor homes and
approximately 33% were secured by travel trailers. Approximately 76% of the
Initial Receivables, by Original Pool Balance, represented financing of new
recreational vehicles and approximately 24% represented financing of used
recreational vehicles. As of the Initial Cutoff Date, the average outstanding
principal balances of Initial Receivables secured by motor homes and travel
trailers were $46,896.20 and $12,597.29, respectively. A significant portion of
the Initial Receivables represent financing of recreational vehicles
manufactured by Fleetwood Enterprises. Except in the case of breach of
representations by the related Dealer, as described above under "Property of the
Trust," it is expected that none of the Receivables will provide for recourse to
the Dealer who originated the related Receivable. Based upon information
presented by Obligors in their Receivables applications, as of the Initial
Cutoff Date the Initial Receivables were originated in 48 states. Based on
Original Pool Balance, approximately 19% of the Initial Receivables were
originated in the State of California, approximately 10% were originated in the
State of Oregon, approximately 9% were originated in the State of Texas,
approximately 7% were originated in the State of Florida and approximately 5%
were originated in the State of Arizona. Each other state accounts for less than
5% of the Initial Receivables by Original Pool Balance. As of the Initial Cutoff
Date, less than 1.00% of the Original Pool Balance represented Paid-Ahead
Receivables.

MATURITY AND PREPAYMENT CONSIDERATIONS
 
     All of the Receivables are prepayable at any time without any penalty. If
prepayments are received on the Receivables, the actual weighted average life of
the Receivables can be shorter than the scheduled weighted average life, which
is based on the assumption that payments will be made as scheduled and that no
 
                                       12
<PAGE>   14
 
   
prepayments will be made. For this purpose the term "prepayments" includes,
among other items, voluntary prepayments by Obligors, regular installment
payments made in advance of their scheduled due dates, liquidations due to
default, proceeds from physical damage, credit life and credit disability
insurance policies and repurchases by the Seller or a Dealer or a purchase by
the Servicer, as the case may be, of certain Receivables as described herein.
"Weighted average life" means the average amount of time during which each
dollar of principal on a Receivable is outstanding. The rate of prepayments on
the Receivables may be influenced by a variety of economic, social and other
factors, including the fact that an Obligor may not sell or transfer a Financed
Vehicle without the consent of the Servicer. Any reinvestment risk resulting
from the rate of prepayment of the Receivables and the distribution of such
prepayments to Certificateholders will be borne entirely by the
Certificateholders. In addition, the weighted average life of the Certificates
may be affected by any Mandatory Prepayment under the circumstances described
under "The Certificates -- The Pre-Funding Account; Mandatory Prepayment of the
Certificates" and in addition, early retirement of the Certificates may be
effected by the exercise of the option of the Seller or the Servicer, or any
successor to the Servicer, to purchase all of the Receivables remaining in the
Trust when the Pool Balance is 10% or less of the sum of the Original Pool
Balance and the aggregate principal balance of all Subsequent Receivables
conveyed to the Trust as of the related Subsequent Cutoff Dates or, if no such
entity exercises such option, the solicitation of bids for, and the sale of, the
Receivables by the Trustee. See "The Certificates -- Termination."
    
 
     No prediction can be made as to the rate of prepayments on the Receivables
in either stable or changing interest rate environments. Fleetwood Credit is not
aware of any publicly available industry statistics that set forth principal
prepayment experience for recreational vehicle retail installment sale contracts
similar to the Receivables over an extended period of time, and its experience
with respect to recreational vehicle receivables included in its portfolio is
insufficient to draw any specific conclusions with respect to the expected
prepayment rates on the Receivables.
 
DELINQUENCIES, REPOSSESSIONS AND NET LOSSES
 
     Set forth below is certain information concerning Fleetwood Credit's
experience with respect to its portfolio of recreational vehicle receivables
similar to the Receivables.
 
   
     There is no assurance that Fleetwood Credit's delinquency, credit loss and
repossession experience with respect to recreational vehicle receivables in the
future, or the experience of the Trust with respect to the Receivables, will be
similar to that set forth below. Losses and delinquencies are affected by, among
other things, general and regional economic conditions and the supply of and
demand for recreational vehicles.

PAID-AHEAD RECEIVABLES
 
     If an Obligor, in addition to making a regularly scheduled monthly payment,
makes one or more additional monthly payments in any Collection Period (for
example, because the Obligor intends to be on vacation the following month),
such additional payments will be treated as a prepayment of principal and
applied to reduce the principal balance of the related Receivable in such
Collection Period. Unless otherwise requested by the Obligor, the Obligor will
not be required to make any scheduled monthly payment in respect of such
Receivable (a "Paid-Ahead Receivable") for the number of months corresponding to
the number of such additional scheduled monthly payments that were made (the
"Paid-Ahead Period"). During the Paid-Ahead Period, interest will continue to
accrue on the principal balance of the related Receivable, as reduced by the
application of such additional scheduled monthly payments made in the Collection
Period in which such Receivable became a Paid-Ahead Receivable. A Paid-Ahead
Receivable will not be considered delinquent during the related Paid-Ahead
Period. An interest shortfall with respect to each Paid-Ahead Receivable will
exist during each Collection Period during the Paid-Ahead Period and the
Servicer may be required to make an Advance in respect of such shortfall, as
described under "The Certificates -- Certain Payments by the Servicer."
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Advances will be made in respect of principal
in respect of a Paid-Ahead Receivable.
 
     Because interest in respect of the Receivables will accrue on the simple
interest method, scheduled monthly payments on a Paid-Ahead Receivable paid by
an Obligor following the end of the Paid-Ahead Period may be insufficient to
cover the interest that has accrued since the last payment was made prior to the
Paid-Ahead Period. Notwithstanding such insufficiency, the related Receivable
will be considered current. This situation will continue until sufficient
payments have been made to cover all accrued interest on such Paid-Ahead
Receivable since the beginning of the Paid-Ahead Period and the principal
balance of such Receivable is once again being amortized. Depending on the
principal balance and APR of the related Paid-Ahead Receivables, and on the
number of payments that were paid-ahead, there may be extended periods of time
during which Paid-Ahead Receivables that are current are not amortizing. During
such periods, no distributions in respect of principal will be made to
Certificateholders with respect to such Receivables.
 
     Paid-Ahead Receivables will affect the weighted average lives of the
Certificates. The distribution of the paid-ahead amount on the Distribution Date
following the Collection Period in which such amount was received will generally
shorten the weighted average lives of the Certificates. However, depending on
the length of time during which a Paid-Ahead Receivable is not amortized as
described above, the weighted average lives of the Certificates may be extended.
In addition, to the extent the Servicer makes Advances with respect to a
Paid-Ahead Receivable which subsequently goes into default, because liquidation
proceeds with respect to such Receivable will be applied first to reimburse the
Servicer for such Advances, the loss with respect to such Receivable may be
larger than would have been the case had such Advances not been made.

     As of the Initial Cutoff Date, based on the Original Pool Balance, less
than 1.00% of the Initial Receivables were Paid-Ahead Receivables. Fleetwood
Credit's portfolio of recreational vehicle installment sale receivables has
historically included receivables which have been paid-ahead by one or more
scheduled monthly payments. There can be no assurance as to the number of
Receivables which may become Paid-Ahead Receivables or the number or the
principal amount of the scheduled payments which may be paid-ahead.
    
 
RECREATIONAL VEHICLES
 
     Motor homes are recreational camping and travel vehicles built on or as an
integral part of a self-propelled motor vehicle chassis. A motor home may
provide kitchen, sleeping and bathroom facilities, is equipped with the ability
to store and carry fresh water and sewage and may be one of the following types:
 
          Motor Home: The living unit has been entirely constructed on a bare,
     specially designed motor vehicle chassis.
 
          Van Camper: A panel-type truck to which the manufacturer adds any two
     of the following conveniences: sleeping, kitchen and toilet facilities. The
     manufacturer also adds 110-volt hookup, fresh water storage, city water
     hookup and top extension to provide more headroom.
 
          Mini Motor Home: This unit is built on an automotive manufactured van
     frame with an attached cab section having a gross vehicle weight rating of
     6,500 pounds or more, with an overall height of less than eight feet. The
     manufacturer completes the body section containing the living area and
     attaches it to the cab section.
 
          Compact Motor Home: This unit is built on an automotive manufactured
     cab and chassis having a gross vehicle weight rating of less than 6,500
     pounds. It may provide any or all of the conveniences of the larger units.
 
     Travel trailers are trailers designed to be towed by a motorized vehicle
(e.g., automobile, van or pickup truck) and are of such size and weight as not
to require a special highway movement permit. A travel trailer is designed to
provide temporary living quarters for recreational, camping or travel use, does
not require permanent on-site hookup and can be one of the following types:
 
          Conventional Travel Trailer: This unit ranges typically from 12 feet
     to 35 feet in length, and is towed by means of a bumper or frame hitch
     attached to the towing vehicle.
 
          Park Trailer: These are designed for seasonal or temporary living.
     When set up, the unit may be connected to utilities necessary for operation
     of installed fixtures and appliances. The unit is built on a single chassis
     mounted on wheels. Park trailers are no more than 40 feet in overall body
     length and no more than 12 feet in overall body width when in the traveling
     mode. The unit is designed for set-up by persons without special skills
     using only hand tools which may include lifting, pulling or supporting
     devices.
 
          Fifth-Wheel Travel Trailer: This unit can be equipped the same as the
     conventional travel trailer, but is constructed with a raised forward
     section that allows a bi-level floor plan. This style is designed to be
     towed by a vehicle equipped with a device known as a fifth-wheel hitch.
 
          Folding Camping Trailer: This is a vehicular portable unit mounted on
     wheels and constructed with collapsible partial sidewalls which fold for
     towing by another vehicle and unfold at the campsite to provide temporary
     living quarters for recreational, camping or travel use.
 
          Slide-In Camper: This is a portable unit designed to be loaded onto
     and unloaded from the bed of a pickup truck, constructed to provide
     temporary living quarters for recreational travel or camping use.

                              YIELD CONSIDERATIONS
 
   
     Interest on the Receivables will be passed through to Certificateholders on
each Distribution Date to the extent of the Class A Pass-Through Rate and the
Class B Pass-Through Rate applied to the Class A Certificate Balance and the
Class B Certificate Balance, respectively, as of the immediately preceding
Distribution Date (after giving effect to distributions of principal to be made
on such immediately preceding Distribution Date) or, in the case of the first
Distribution Date, the Original Class A Certificate Balance or the Original
Class B Certificate Balance, as the case may be. In the case of each payment of
principal on a Receivable, Certificateholders will receive interest for the full
month, in part from the Non-Reimbursable Payment by the Servicer. See "The
Certificates -- Certain Payments by the Servicer."
    
 
   
     Although the Receivables have different APRs, each Initial Receivable has,
and it is anticipated that each Subsequent Receivable will have, an APR that
exceeds the sum of the Class B Pass-Through Rate and the Servicing Fee Rate.
Therefore, disproportionate rates of prepayments between Receivables with higher
and lower APRs should not affect the yield to Certificateholders on the
principal balance of the outstanding Certificates of each Class.
    
 
   
     The Class B Certificates will provide limited protection to the Class A
Certificates against losses on the Receivables. Accordingly, the yield on the
Class B Certificates will be extremely sensitive to the loss experience of the
Receivables and the timing of any such losses. If the actual rate and amount of
losses experienced by the Receivables exceed the rate and amount of such losses
assumed by an investor, the yield to maturity on the Class B Certificates may be
lower than anticipated.
    
 
                      POOL FACTORS AND TRADING INFORMATION
 
   
     The "Class A Pool Factor" and the "Class B Pool Factor" will be seven-digit
decimal numbers which the Servicer will compute each month indicating the Class
A Certificate Balance and the Class B Certificate Balance at the end of the
related Collection Period as a fraction of the Original Class A Certificate
Balance or Original Class B Certificate Balance, as the case may be. Neither the
Class A Pool Factor nor the Class B Pool Factor will change as a result of the
conveyance of Subsequent Receivables to the Trust. Each Pool Factor will be
1.0000000 as of the Cutoff Date and will thereafter decline to reflect
reductions in the Class A Certificate Balance or the Class B Certificate
Balance, as the case may be. The portion of the Class A Certificate Balance or
the Class B Certificate Balance for a given month allocable to a Class A
Certificateholder or a Class B Certificateholder, as the case may be, can be
determined by multiplying the original denomination of the holder's Certificate
by the related Pool Factor at the time of determination.
    
 
     Pursuant to the Agreement, the Certificateholders will receive monthly
reports concerning the payments received on the Receivables, the Pool Balance,
the Class A Pool Factor and the Class B Pool Factor and various other items of
information pertaining to the Trust. Certificateholders during each calendar
year will be furnished information for tax reporting purposes not later than the
latest date permitted by law. See "The Certificates -- Statements to
Certificateholders."

                                USE OF PROCEEDS
 
   
     The net proceeds to be received by the Seller from the sale of the
Certificates will be applied to the purchase of the Initial Receivables from
Fleetwood Credit pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement and to the
funding of the Pre-Funding Account with the Pre-Funded Amount, which monies will
be applied to purchase Subsequent Receivables pursuant to the Agreement and
related Transfer Agreements.
    
 
                                   THE SELLER
 
     Fleetwood Credit Receivables Corp. was incorporated in the State of
California on January 15, 1991 as a wholly owned, limited purpose subsidiary of
Fleetwood Credit. The principal executive offices of the Seller are located at
22840 Savi Ranch Parkway, Yorba Linda, California 92687. Its telephone number is
(714) 921-3400.
 
     The Seller was organized principally for the purpose of purchasing
recreational vehicle retail installment sale contracts from Fleetwood Credit and
transferring such retail installment sale contracts to third parties in
connection with its activities as a limited purpose subsidiary of Fleetwood
Credit. The Seller's Articles of Incorporation limit the activities of the
Seller to the above purposes and to any activities incidental thereto.
 
                                  THE SERVICER
 
GENERAL
 
     Fleetwood Credit was incorporated in the State of California on December
31, 1985, and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Associates First Capital
Corporation, which acquired Fleetwood Credit from Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc.,
in May 1996. Fleetwood Credit's principal activities are the financing of the
acquisition by Dealers for resale of various new recreational vehicles, a
significant portion of which to date have been manufactured by Fleetwood
Enterprises, and used recreational vehicles acquired in the ordinary course of
business and the acquisition from such Dealers of installment obligations with
respect to the sale of such recreational vehicles.
 
     The principal executive offices of Fleetwood Credit are located at 22840
Savi Ranch Parkway, Yorba Linda, California 92687. Its telephone number is (714)
921-3400.
 
ORIGINATION AND SERVICING
 
   
     Fleetwood Credit purchases retail installment sale contracts secured by new
and used recreational vehicles from Dealers located throughout the United
States. In keeping with the practice of Fleetwood Credit, the Initial
Receivables were, and the Subsequent Receivables will be, originated by Dealers
in accordance with Fleetwood Credit's requirements under agreements with such
Dealers. The Initial Receivables were, and the Subsequent Receivables will be,
purchased in accordance with Fleetwood Credit's underwriting standards, which
emphasize the prospective purchaser's ability to pay and creditworthiness, as
well as the asset value of the recreational vehicle to be financed. Fleetwood
Credit's standards also require physical damage insurance to be maintained on
each Financed Vehicle.
    
 
                                THE CERTIFICATES
 
     The Certificates will be issued pursuant to the Agreement. Copies of the
Agreement (without exhibits) may be obtained by Certificateholders upon request
in writing to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office. Citations to certain
relevant sections of the Agreement appear below in parentheses. The following
summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its
entirety by reference to the Agreement.
 
GENERAL
 
     The Certificates will evidence fractional undivided interests in the Trust
created pursuant to the Agreement and will not represent interests in or
obligations of the Seller, Fleetwood Credit, Associates First Capital
Corporation, the Trustee or any of their respective affiliates. The Class A
Certificates will evidence in
 
                                       17
<PAGE>   19
 
   
the aggregate an undivided ownership interest of 96.5% of the Trust and the
Class B Certificates will evidence in the aggregate an undivided ownership
interest of 3.5% of the Trust.
    
 
   
     In general, it is intended that Class A Certificateholders and Class B
Certificateholders receive, on each Distribution Date, the Class A Percentage
and Class B Percentage, respectively, of all payments allocated to principal on
or in respect of the Receivables collected by the Servicer during the related
Collection Period plus one month's interest at the Class A Pass-Through Rate on
the Class A Certificate Balance or the Class B Pass-Through Rate on the Class B
Certificate Balance, as the case may be, in each case as of the immediately
preceding Distribution Date (after giving effect to distributions of principal
to be made on such immediately preceding Distribution Date) or, in the case of
the first Distribution Date, interest in an amount equal to (i) the product of
(a) the Class A Pass-Through Rate or Class B Pass-Through Rate, as the case may
be, (b) the Original Class A Certificate Balance or Original Class B Certificate
Balance, as the case may be, and (c) the number of days from and including the
Closing Date to but excluding such Distribution Date, (ii) divided by 360.
Interest to Certificateholders may be provided by payments made by or on behalf
of Obligors on or in respect of the Receivables, payments from amounts on
deposit in the Reserve Fund and Advances and Non-Reimbursable Payments made by
the Servicer. (Sections 14.04, 14.05 and 14.08) See "Distributions on the
Certificates." A prepayment of a Receivable may be made by or on behalf of the
related Obligor, by application of certain insurance proceeds, as a result of a
repurchase made by the Seller or a Dealer or a purchase by the Servicer, as the
case may be, or as a result of the repossession and sale of the related Financed
Vehicle or other enforcement measure taken with respect to a Defaulted
Receivable. See "-- Sale and Assignment of the Receivables" and "-- Servicing
Procedures."
    
 
     The Certificates will be offered for purchase in denominations of $1,000
and integral multiples thereof in book-entry form. Each Class of Certificates
will initially be represented by one or more certificates registered in the name
of Cede, the nominee of DTC. No beneficial owner of a Class A Certificate (a
"Class A Certificate Owner"), or a Class B Certificate (a "Class B Certificate
Owner" and, together with the Class A Certificate Owners, the "Certificate
Owners"), will be entitled to receive a certificate representing such owner's
interest, except as set forth below. Unless and until Certificates of a Class
are issued in fully registered certificated form ("Definitive Certificates")
under certain limited circumstances described below, all references herein to
distributions, notices, reports and statements to the related Certificateholders
will refer to the same actions made with respect to DTC or Cede, as the case may
be, for the benefit of Certificate Owners in accordance with DTC procedures.
(Section 16.09) See "Book-Entry Registration" and "Definitive Certificates."
 
BOOK-ENTRY REGISTRATION
 
     DTC will act as securities depository for the Class A Certificates and the
Class B Certificates. Each Class of Certificates initially will be represented
by one or more certificates registered in the name of Cede, the nominee of DTC.
As such, it is anticipated that the only "Certificateholder" will be Cede, as
nominee of DTC. Certificate Owners will not be recognized by the Trustee as
"Certificateholders," as such term will be used in the Agreement, and
Certificate Owners will only be permitted to exercise the rights of holders of
Certificates of the related Class indirectly through DTC and its Participants,
as further described below.
 
     DTC has advised the Seller that it is a limited-purpose trust company
organized under the laws of the State of New York, a "banking organization"
within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve
System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial
Code (the "UCC") in effect in the State of New York and a "clearing agency"
registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended. DTC was created to hold securities for its
participating members ("Participants") and to facilitate the clearance and
settlement of securities transactions between Participants through electronic
book-entry changes in accounts of its Participants, thereby eliminating the need
for physical movement of certificates. Participants include securities brokers
and dealers (including the Underwriters), banks, trust companies and clearing
corporations. Indirect access to the DTC system also is available to banks,
brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial
relationship with a Participant, either directly or indirectly (the "Indirect
Participants"). The rules applicable to DTC and its Participants are on file
with the Commission.
 
                                       18
<PAGE>   20
 
     Certificate Owners that are not Participants or Indirect Participants but
that desire to purchase, sell or otherwise transfer ownership of, or an interest
in, Class A Certificates or Class B Certificates, as the case may be, may do so
only through Participants and Indirect Participants. Participants will receive a
credit for the Certificates on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each
Certificate Owner will in turn be recorded on the Participants' and Indirect
Participants' respective records. Certificate Owners will not receive written
confirmation from DTC of their purchase, but Certificate Owners are expected to
receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as
periodic statements of their holdings, from the Participant or Indirect
Participant through which the Certificate Owner entered into the transaction.
Transfers of ownership interests in the Certificates of a Class will be
accomplished by entries made on the books of Participants acting on behalf of
Certificate Owners.
 
     To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Certificates deposited by
Participants with DTC will be registered in the name of Cede, the nominee of
DTC. The deposit of Certificates with DTC and their registration in the name of
Cede will effect no change in beneficial ownership. DTC will have no knowledge
of the actual Certificate Owners and its records will reflect only the identity
of the Participants to whose accounts such Certificates are credited, which may
or may not be the Certificate Owners. Participants and Indirect Participants
will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their
customers.
 
     Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Participants, by
Participants to Indirect Participants and by Participants and Indirect
Participants to Certificate Owners will be governed by arrangements among them,
subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from
time to time.
 
     DTC's practice is to credit Participants' accounts on each Distribution
Date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on its records unless
DTC has reason to believe that it will not receive payment on such Distribution
Date. Payments by Participants and Indirect Participants to Certificate Owners
will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the
case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or
registered in "street name," and will be the responsibility of such Participants
and not of DTC, the Trustee (or any Paying Agent), the Seller or the Servicer,
subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from
time to time. Payment of principal of and interest on each Class of Certificates
to DTC will be the responsibility of the Trustee (or any Paying Agent),
disbursement of such payments to Participants will be the responsibility of DTC
and disbursement of such payments to the related Certificate Owners will be the
responsibility of Participants and Indirect Participants. As a result, under the
book-entry format, Certificate Owners may experience some delay in their receipt
of payments. DTC will forward such payments to its Participants which thereafter
will forward them to Indirect Participants or Certificate Owners.
 
     Because DTC can only act on behalf of Participants, who in turn act on
behalf of Indirect Participants and certain banks, the ability of a Certificate
Owner to pledge Certificates to persons or entities that do not participate in
the DTC system, or otherwise take actions with respect to such Certificates, may
be limited due to the lack of a physical certificate for such Certificates.
 
     Neither DTC nor Cede will consent or vote with respect to the Certificates.
Under its usual procedures, DTC will mail an "Omnibus Proxy" to the Trustee as
soon as possible after any applicable record date for such a consent or vote.
The Omnibus Proxy will assign Cede's consenting or voting rights to those
Participants to whose accounts the related Certificates are credited on that
record date (which record date will be identified in a listing attached to the
Omnibus Proxy).
 
     Neither the Seller, the Servicer nor the Trustee (or any Paying Agent) will
have any liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on
account of beneficial ownership interests of the Certificates held by Cede, as
nominee for DTC, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records
relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

DEFINITIVE CERTIFICATES
 
     Definitive Certificates will be issued to Certificate Owners rather than to
DTC, only if (i) DTC is no longer willing or able to discharge its
responsibilities as depository with respect to the Certificates, and neither the
Trustee nor the Seller is able to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Seller,
at its option, elects to terminate the book-entry system through DTC or (iii)
after an Event of Default, Certificate Owners representing in the aggregate not
less than 51% of the voting interests of either Class of Certificates advise the
Trustee through DTC and its Participants in writing that the continuation of a
book-entry system for such Class of Certificates through DTC or its successor is
no longer in the best interests of the related Certificate Owners. (Section
16.11)
 
     Upon the occurrence of any of the events described in the immediately
preceding paragraph, the Trustee will be required to notify all Certificate
Owners, through Participants, of the availability of Definitive Certificates.
Upon surrender by DTC of the certificates representing all Certificates of
either Class and the receipt of instructions for re-registration, the Trustee
will issue Definitive Certificates to the related Certificate Owners.
 
     Distributions on the related Certificates will thereafter be made by the
Trustee directly to holders of the related Definitive Certificates in accordance
with the procedures set forth herein and to be set forth in the Agreement.
Interest payments and any principal payments on the related Certificates on each
Distribution Date will be made to holders in whose names the Definitive
Certificates were registered at the close of business on the Record Date with
respect to such Distribution Date. Distributions will be made by check mailed to
the address of such holders as they appear on the Certificate Register. The
final payment on any Certificates (whether Definitive Certificates or
certificates registered in the name of Cede representing the Certificates),
however, will be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates
or certificates at the office or agency specified in the notice of final
distribution to Certificateholders. The Trustee or Paying Agent will provide
such notice to registered Certificateholders not later than the twenty-fifth day
of the month preceding the month in which such final distribution is expected to
occur.
 
     Definitive Certificates will be transferable and exchangeable at the
offices of the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar set forth in the Agreement.
No service charge will be imposed for any registration of transfer or exchange,
but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith. (Section 16.03)
 
SALE AND ASSIGNMENT OF THE RECEIVABLES
 
   
     The Initial Receivables. On or prior to the Closing Date, pursuant to the
Receivables Purchase Agreement, Fleetwood Credit will sell and assign to the
Seller, without recourse, its entire interest in and to the Initial Receivables,
including its security interests in the Initial Financed Vehicles. At the time
of initial issuance of the Certificates, the Seller will sell and assign to the
Trustee, on behalf of the Trust without recourse, all of its right, title and
interest in and to the Initial Receivables, including its security interests in
the Initial Financed Vehicles. Each Initial Receivable will be identified in a
schedule appearing as an exhibit to each of the Receivables Purchase Agreement
and the Agreement (the "Schedule of Receivables"). The Trustee will,
concurrently with the sale and assignment of the Initial Receivables to it
pursuant to the Agreement, execute, authenticate and deliver the Certificates to
the Seller in exchange for the Initial Receivables. (Section 16.02) The Seller
will sell the Certificates to the Underwriters. The net proceeds received by the
Seller from the sale of the Certificates will be applied to the purchase of the
Initial Receivables and to the deposit of the Pre-Funded Amount in the
Pre-Funding Account.
    
 
   
     The Subsequent Receivables. During the Funding Period, pursuant to the
Receivables Purchase Agreement, Fleetwood Credit will be obligated to sell and
the Seller will be obligated to purchase, Subsequent Receivables having an
aggregate principal balance as of the related Subsequent Cutoff Dates not to
exceed $38,154,197.60. On each Subsequent Transfer Date, Fleetwood Credit will
sell and assign to the Seller, without recourse, its entire right, title and
interest in and to the Subsequent Receivables, including its interest in
Fleetwood Credit's security interests in the Subsequent Financed Vehicles. Each
Subsequent Receivable will be identified in a supplement to the Schedule of
Receivables to be attached as a schedule to the related Transfer Agreement. The
purchase price to be paid to Fleetwood Credit for each Subsequent Receivable
will
    
 
                                       20
<PAGE>   22
 
   
equal the principal amount thereof as of the related Subsequent Cutoff Date.
Pursuant to the Agreement and the related Transfer Agreement, the Seller will in
turn sell the Subsequent Receivables to the Trust. In connection with each
purchase of Subsequent Receivables, the Trust will be required to pay to the
Seller an amount equal to the amount paid by the Seller to Fleetwood Credit for
such Subsequent Receivables, which purchase price will be paid from monies on
deposit in the Pre-Funding Account. Upon the conveyance of Subsequent
Receivables to the Trust on a Subsequent Transfer Date, the Pool Balance will
increase in an amount equal to the aggregate principal balance of such
Subsequent Receivables as of the related Subsequent Cutoff Date.
    
 
   
     Each conveyance of Subsequent Receivables will be subject to the following
conditions, among others: (i) such Subsequent Receivables must satisfy the
eligibility criteria described under "Representations and Warranties"; (ii) such
Subsequent Receivables were not selected by either Fleetwood Credit or the
Seller in a manner that it believes is adverse to the interests of the
Certificateholders; (iii) the weighted average APR of the Receivables (including
the related Subsequent Receivables) is not less than 9.65%; (iv) the weighted
average remaining term of the Receivables (including the Subsequent Receivables)
as of the related Subsequent Transfer Date is not greater than 160 months; (v)
the Seller and the Trustee shall not have been advised by either Rating Agency
that the conveyance of such Subsequent Receivables will result in a
qualification, modification or withdrawal of its then current rating of either
the Class A Certificates or the Class B Certificates; and (vi) the Trustee shall
have received certain opinions of counsel as to, among other things, the
enforceability and validity of the Transfer Agreement relating to such
conveyance of Subsequent Receivables.
    
 
   
     Because the Subsequent Receivables may be originated after the Initial
Receivables, following their conveyance to the Trust, the characteristics of the
Receivables, including the Subsequent Receivables, may vary from those of the
Initial Receivables.
    
 
   
     Representations and Warranties. In the Receivables Purchase Agreement,
Fleetwood Credit will represent and warrant to the Seller, and in the Agreement
and the Transfer Agreements, the Seller will represent and warrant to the
Trustee, among other things, that, on the Closing Date with respect to the
Initial Receivables and the Initial Financed Vehicles and on each Subsequent
Transfer Date with respect to the related Subsequent Receivables and Subsequent
Financed Vehicles; (i) the information set forth in the Schedule of Receivables
is correct in all material respects; (ii) the Obligor on each Receivable is
required to maintain physical damage insurance covering the related Financed
Vehicle in accordance with Fleetwood Credit's normal requirements; (iii) to the
knowledge of Fleetwood Credit or the Seller, as the case may be, on the Closing
Date or the related Subsequent Transfer Date, as the case may be, the related
Receivables are free and clear of all security interests, liens, charges and
encumbrances (other than those in favor of Fleetwood Credit or the Seller) and
no offsets, defenses or counterclaims against Fleetwood Credit or the Seller, as
the case may be, have been asserted or threatened; (iv) on the Closing Date or
the related Subsequent Transfer Date, each of the Initial Receivables or
Subsequent Receivables, as the case may be, is secured by a first perfected
security interest in the related Financed Vehicle in favor of Fleetwood Credit;
(v) each Receivable, at the time it was originated, complied and, on the Closing
Date or the related Subsequent Transfer Date, as the case may be, complies, in
all material respects with applicable federal and state laws, including, without
limitation, consumer credit, truth in lending, equal credit opportunity and
disclosure laws; and (vi) the related Obligor has not been identified by
Fleetwood Credit as being a Relief Act Obligor.
    
 
     Repurchase of Certain Receivables by the Seller. As of the second (or, if
the Seller elects, the first) Record Date following the discovery by or notice
to the Seller of a breach of any such representation or warranty that materially
and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in a Receivable,
the Seller, unless it cures the breach, will repurchase such Receivable from the
Trustee and, pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, Fleetwood Credit
will purchase such Receivable from the Seller, at a price equal to the unpaid
principal balance owed by the Obligor plus interest thereon at a rate equal to
the sum of (i) the weighted average of the Class A Pass-Through Rate and the
Class B Pass-Through Rate as of the Closing Date and (ii) the Servicing Fee Rate
to the last day of the month of repurchase (the "Repurchase Amount"). This
repurchase obligation will constitute the sole remedy available to the
Certificateholders or the Trustee for any such uncured breach. The obligation of
the Seller to repurchase a Receivable will not be
 
                                       21
<PAGE>   23
 
conditioned on performance by Fleetwood Credit of its obligation to purchase
such Receivable from the Seller pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement.
(Section 12.02)
 
SERVICING PROCEDURES
 
     To assure uniform quality in servicing the Receivables and the Servicer's
own portfolio of recreational vehicle receivables and to reduce administrative
costs, the Trustee will appoint the Servicer as custodian of the Receivables.
(Section 12.04) The Receivables will not be physically segregated from other
recreational vehicle retail installment sale contracts of the Servicer, or those
which the Servicer services for others, to reflect the transfer to the Trust.
The Servicer's accounting records and computer systems will reflect the sale and
assignment of the Receivables to the Trust, and UCC financing statements
reflecting such sale and assignment will be filed. See "Certain Legal Aspects of
the Receivables -- General."
 
   
     The Servicer will make reasonable efforts to collect all payments due with
respect to the Receivables and, in a manner consistent with the Agreement, will
continue such collection procedures as it follows with respect to comparable
recreational vehicle retail installment sale contracts it services for itself
and others. (Section 13.02) See "Certain Legal Aspects of the Receivables."
Consistent with its normal procedures, the Servicer may, in its discretion,
arrange with an Obligor to extend or modify the payment schedule on a
Receivable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer may not extend the
stated maturity of a Receivable beyond the scheduled maturity of the Receivable
having the latest stated maturity. Such arrangements may result in the Servicer
being required to purchase the related Receivable for the Repurchase Amount,
while others may require the Servicer to make an Advance in respect of such
Receivable, without any reimbursement therefor. (Sections 13.07 and 14.04) The
Servicer will follow such normal collection practices and procedures as it deems
necessary or advisable to realize upon any Receivable with respect to which it
determines that eventual payment in full is unlikely. The Servicer may sell the
related Financed Vehicle securing such Receivable at a public or private sale,
or take any other action permitted by applicable law. (Section 13.03)
    
 
COLLECTIONS
 
     The Servicer will deposit all payments on or in respect of the Receivables
received from or on behalf of Obligors and all proceeds of Receivables collected
during each Collection Period into the Certificate Account not later than two
Business Days after receipt. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Servicer may remit such deposits
and collections in respect of a Collection Period to the Certificate Account on
a monthly basis not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the
related Distribution Date; provided that either (i) the Servicer's short-term
unsecured debt obligations are rated at least equal to Prime-1 by Moody's and
A-1 by Standard & Poor's (the "Required Servicer Ratings") or (ii) the Servicer
obtains a letter of credit, surety bond or insurance policy (the "Servicer
Letter of Credit") as will be provided in the Agreement under which demands for
payment will be made to secure timely remittance of monthly collections to the
Certificate Account and the Trustee is provided with a letter from each Rating
Agency to the effect that the utilization of such alternative remittance
schedule will not result in a Ratings Effect. As of the date of this Prospectus,
the Servicer will be permitted to remit to the Certificate Account all
collections received on or in respect of the Receivables on a monthly basis by
virtue of clause (i) above. In the event that the Servicer is permitted to make
remittances of collections to the Certificate Account on a monthly basis
pursuant to satisfaction of clause (ii) above, the Agreement will be modified,
to the extent necessary, without the consent of any Certificateholder. (Sections
14.02 and 22.01) Pending deposit into the Certificate Account, collections may
be invested by the Servicer at its own risk and for its own benefit and will not
be segregated from its own funds. The Seller or the Servicer, as the case may
be, will remit the aggregate Repurchase Amount of any Receivables to be
repurchased from the Trust into the Certificate Account on or before the
Business Day immediately preceding the related Distribution Date.
 
     The Certificate Account shall be maintained (i) with the Trustee so long as
the short-term credit ratings of the Trustee are at least equal to Prime-1 by
Moody's and A-1+ by Standard & Poor's (the "Required Deposit Ratings") or (ii)
in a non-interest bearing segregated trust account for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, located in the corporate trust department of a depository
institution or trust company having corporate trust powers (which may include
the Trustee). If the short-term unsecured debt obligations
 
                                       22
<PAGE>   24
 
of the Trustee are not rated at least equal to the Required Deposit Rating, the
Servicer will, with the Trustee's assistance as necessary, cause the Certificate
Account to be moved to a bank or trust company whose short-term unsecured debt
obligations are rated at least equal to the Required Deposit Ratings or moved to
a non-interest bearing segregated trust account located in a corporate trust
department of a depository institution or trust company as described above.
(Section 14.01)
 
     For so long as the depository institution or trust company then maintaining
the Certificate Account has the Required Deposit Ratings, all amounts held in
the Certificate Account will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be
invested, as directed by the Servicer, in Permitted Investments. Earnings on the
investment of funds in the Certificate Account will be paid to the Servicer.
"Permitted Investments" will be limited to investments that will not require the
Trust to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended, and include the following obligations and securities: (i)
obligations of the United States or any agency thereof, backed by the full faith
and credit of the United States; (ii) general obligations of or obligations
guaranteed by any State, commercial paper and certificates of deposit, demand or
time deposits, federal funds or banker's acceptances issued by any depository
institution or trust company incorporated under the laws of the United States or
of any State and subject to supervision and examination by federal or state
banking authorities, in each case rated the highest rating of each Rating Agency
for such obligations, or such lower rating as will not result in the
qualification, downgrading or withdrawal of the rating then assigned to either
Class of Certificates by such Rating Agency (each, a "Ratings Effect"); (iii)
demand or time deposits or certificates of deposit issued by any bank, trust
company, savings bank or other savings institution, which deposits are fully
insured by the FDIC; (iv) guaranteed reinvestment agreements issued by any bank,
insurance company or other corporation as will not result in a Ratings Effect;
(v) certain specified repurchase obligations; and (vi) such other investments as
will not result in a Ratings Effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each
Permitted Investment shall mature no later than the Business Day prior to the
Distribution Date immediately following the date of purchase (other than
instruments of which the Trustee is the obligor, which may mature on the related
Distribution Date), and shall be required to be held to such maturity. (Sections
1.01 and 11.01)
 
   
THE PRE-FUNDING ACCOUNT; MANDATORY PREPAYMENT OF THE CERTIFICATES
    
 
   
     The Pre-Funding Account. The Servicer will establish the Pre-Funding
Account in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders
into which the Pre-Funded Amount will be deposited on the Closing Date from the
net proceeds received from the sale of the Certificates and from which monies
will be applied during the Funding Period to purchase Subsequent Receivables
from the Seller. The Pre-Funding Account will be maintained with the same entity
at which the Certificate Account is maintained. The Pre-Funding Account will be
part of the Trust but monies on deposit therein will not be available to cover
losses on or in respect of the Receivables. Any portion of the Pre-Funded Amount
remaining on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account at the end of the Funding Period
will be payable as described below as a prepayment of principal to the
Certificateholders. Monies on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account may be invested
in Permitted Investments under the circumstances and in the manner described in
the Agreement. Earnings on investment of funds in the Pre-Funding Account will
be deposited into the Certificate Account and losses will be charged against the
funds on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account. (Section 14.01)
    
 
   
     Upon each conveyance of Subsequent Receivables to the Trust, an amount
equal to the purchase price paid by the Seller to Fleetwood Credit for such
Subsequent Receivables on the related Subsequent Transfer Date will be withdrawn
from the Pre-Funding Account and paid to the Seller.
    
 
   
     Mandatory Prepayment of the Certificates. The Certificates will be subject
to Mandatory Prepayment on the Distribution Date immediately succeeding the date
on which the Funding Period ends (or on the Distribution Date on which the
Funding Period ends if the Funding Period ends on a Distribution Date), in the
event that any portion of the Pre-Funded Amount, exclusive of any investment
earnings thereon, remains on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account after giving
effect to the purchase by the Seller and conveyance to the Trust of all
subsequent Receivables on the related Subsequent Transfer Dates, including any
such purchase and conveyance on the date on which the Funding Period ends.
    
 
                                       23
<PAGE>   25
 
   
     Upon the occurrence of a Mandatory Prepayment, the holders of Certificates
of each Class will receive an amount equal to the Class A Percentage or the
Class B Percentage, as the case may be, multiplied by the portion of the
Pre-Funded Amount remaining in the Pre-Funding Account. It is anticipated that
the aggregate principal amount of Subsequent Receivables sold to the Trust
during the Funding Period will not be exactly equal to the Pre-Funded Amount and
that therefore there will be at least a nominal amount of principal prepaid to
Certificateholders. (Section 14.09)
    
 
   
CERTAIN PAYMENTS BY THE SERVICER
    
 
   
     On the Business Day immediately preceding each Distribution Date, the
Servicer will be required, subject to the limitations set forth below, to
advance to the Trust an amount equal to all accrued interest, if any, on the
unpaid principal balance of each Receivable at the related APR since the most
recent date upon which a payment was made in respect of such Receivable by or on
behalf of the related Obligor through the last day of the related Collection
Period (an "Advance"). The obligation of the Servicer to make an Advance will be
limited to circumstances in which the Servicer, in its reasonable discretion,
determines such Advance will ultimately be reimbursable from subsequent payments
made by or on behalf of the related Obligor, from insurance proceeds, from
liquidation proceeds or otherwise, except in the case of the waiver by the
Servicer of any scheduled interest on a Receivable, in which case the Servicer
shall be required to make an Advance without the right of subsequent
reimbursement. In making Advances, the Servicer will endeavor to maintain
monthly payments of interest at the related Pass-Through Rate to
Certificateholders, rather than to guarantee or insure against losses.
Accordingly, all Advances shall be reimbursable (except as provided above with
respect to waivers of scheduled interest) to the Servicer, without interest, if
and when a payment relating to a Receivable with respect to which an Advance has
previously been made is subsequently received. In addition, Advances in respect
of a Receivable (other than a Repurchased Receivable) as to which (i) a
scheduled payment is 180 days delinquent or (ii) the Servicer has determined
that eventual payment in full is unlikely and has repossessed and liquidated the
related Financed Vehicle within such 180-day period (each, a "Defaulted
Receivable") shall also be reimbursable (except as provided above with respect
to waivers of scheduled interest) to the Servicer from collections on or in
respect of other Receivables to the extent that the Servicer determines, in its
reasonable discretion, that such Advance will not be recoverable from payments
made on or in respect of such Defaulted Receivable. (Section 14.04)
    
 
     When a payment of principal is made on or in respect of a Receivable,
interest is paid on the unpaid principal balance of such Receivable only to the
date of such payment. To ensure that Certificateholders will not be adversely
affected by any shortfall in interest resulting from any such payment, the
Agreement will require the Servicer to deposit into the Certificate Account on
the Business Day immediately preceding each Distribution Date, without the right
of subsequent reimbursement, an amount, if any, as may be necessary to assure
that the distributions made on the related Distribution Date in respect of such
Receivable to the Servicer and Certificateholders include an amount equal to
interest at a rate equal to the sum of (i) the weighted average of the Class A
Pass-Through Rate and the Class B Pass-Through Rate as of the Closing Date and
(ii) the Servicing Fee Rate on the amount of such principal payment from the
date of payment through the last day of the related Collection Period (the
"Non-Reimbursable Payment"). (Section 14.05)
 
     The Servicer will remit to the Certificate Account an amount equal to each
Advance and Non-Reimbursable Payment to be made in respect of a Collection
Period not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the related
Distribution Date.
 
NET DEPOSITS
 
     For administrative convenience, the Servicer will be permitted to make the
deposit of collections, Advances, Non-Reimbursable Payments and Repurchase
Amounts for or in respect of each Collection Period net of distributions to be
made to the Servicer with respect to such Collection Period. The Servicer,
however, will account to the Trustee and to the Certificateholders as if all
deposits and distributions were made individually. (Sections 14.06 and 14.09)
 
                                       24
<PAGE>   26
 
SERVICING COMPENSATION
 
     The Servicer will be entitled to retain, out of interest collected on or in
respect of the Receivables, the Servicing Fee for each Collection Period equal
to the product of the Servicing Fee Rate and the Pool Balance as of the first
day of such Collection Period. The Servicing Fee will be calculated and paid
based upon a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The Servicer will
also collect and retain any late fees, prepayment charges and other
administrative fees or similar charges allowed by applicable law with respect to
the Receivables. (Section 13.08)
 
     The Servicing Fee will compensate the Servicer for performing the functions
of a third party servicer of recreational vehicle receivables as an agent for
the Trustee, including collecting and posting payments, responding to inquiries
of Obligors on the Receivables, investigating delinquencies, sending payment
statements and reporting tax information to Obligors, paying costs of
disposition of Defaulted Receivables and policing the collateral. (Section
13.01) The Servicing Fee also will compensate the Servicer for administering the
Receivables, including making Advances and Non-Reimbursable Payments, accounting
for collections and furnishing monthly and annual statements to the Trustee with
respect to distributions, generating federal income tax information and paying
certain taxes, accounting fees, outside auditor fees, data processing costs and
other costs incurred in connection with administering the Receivables. (Section
13.01)
 
DISTRIBUTIONS ON THE CERTIFICATES
 
   
     On the eighth calendar day of each month or, if such day is not a Business
Day, the immediately succeeding Business Day (the "Determination Date"), the
Servicer will inform the Trustee of the amount of Available Funds collected on
or in respect of the Receivables, the Negative Carry Amount, if any, the amount
of Advances and Non-Reimbursable Payments to be made by the Servicer and the
amount of the Servicing Fee and other servicing compensation payable to the
Servicer, in each case with respect to the immediately preceding Collection
Period. On or prior to each Determination Date, the Servicer shall also
determine the Class A Distributable Amount, the Class B Distributable Amount
and, based on the Available Funds and other amounts available for distribution
on the related Distribution Date as described below, determine the amounts to be
distributed to the Class A Certificateholders and the Class B
Certificateholders. (Sections 13.09 and 14.07)
    
 
   
     On each Distribution Date, the Trustee will cause the Negative Carry Amount
for the related Collection Period, if any, to be withdrawn from the Reserve Fund
and deposited in the Certificate Account. (Sections 14.01 and 14.07)
    
 
   
     The Trustee shall make distributions to the Certificateholders out of
amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account. The amount to be distributed to
the Certificateholders following the Funding Period in connection with a
Mandatory Prepayment is described under "The Pre-Funding Account; Mandatory
Prepayment of the Certificates." The amount of other distributions to be made on
each Distribution Date shall be determined in the manner described below.
    
 
   
     Determination of Available Funds. "Available Funds" with respect to each
Distribution Date will mean the sum of (i) the earnings received by the Trustee
during the related Collection Period from investment of the Pre-Funded Amount on
deposit in the Pre-Funding Account, (ii) an amount (the "Negative Carry Amount")
equal to the difference between (a) one month's interest on the Pre-Funded
Amount on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account as of the first day of such
Collection Period at a rate equal to the weighted average of the Class A and
Class B Pass-Through Rates and (b) the amount described in clause (i) above,
which Negative Carry Amount will be withdrawn from the Reserve Fund as described
under "Subordination of the Class B Certificates; Reserve Fund", (iii) all cash
received by the Servicer on or in respect of the Receivables during the
immediately preceding Collection Period (including Non-Reimbursable Payments and
Advances but other than (a) late payment and extension fees, if any, and other
administrative fees and (b) recoveries collected on or in respect of all
Receivables which have been previously repurchased by the Seller or purchased by
the Servicer pursuant to the Agreement) and (iv) the Repurchase Amounts of all
Receivables purchased or repurchased under the Agreement in respect of the
immediately preceding Collection Period.
    
 
                                       25
<PAGE>   27
 
   
     With respect to each Collection Period (i) "Collected Interest" will mean
the sum of (a) the portion of all payments received by the Servicer on or in
respect of the Receivables during such Collection Period allocable to interest
and (b) the amounts described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the immediately
preceding paragraph with respect to such Collection Period, and (ii) "Collected
Principal" will mean the portion of all Available Funds received by the Servicer
on or in respect of the Receivables during such Collection Period allocable to
principal.
    
 
   
     Calculation of Distributable Amounts. The "Class A Distributable Amount"
with respect to each Distribution Date will mean the sum of (i) the "Class A
Principal Distributable Amount," which will equal the Class A Percentage of the
Monthly Principal Payment (but not exceeding the Class A Certificate Balance as
of such Distribution Date) and (ii) the "Class A Interest Distributable Amount,"
which will equal one month's interest at the Class A Pass-Through Rate on the
Class A Certificate Balance as of the immediately preceding Distribution Date
(after giving effect to distributions of principal to be made on such
immediately preceding Distribution Date) or, in the case of the first
Distribution Date, (a) the product of (i) the Class A Pass-Through Rate, (ii)
the Original Class A Certificate Balance and (iii) the number of days from and
including the Closing Date to but excluding such Distribution Date, (b) divided
by 360.
    
 
     In addition, with respect to the Distribution Date relating to the
Collection Period in which the last Receivable in the Trust is scheduled to
mature, the Class A Principal Distributable Amount will include the portion of
such amount necessary (after giving effect to the other amounts described above
to be distributed to the Class A Certificateholders on such Distribution Date
allocable to principal) to reduce the Class A Certificate Balance to zero.
 
     The "Class B Distributable Amount" with respect to each Distribution Date
will be calculated in the same manner as the Class A Distributable Amount,
appropriately modified to relate to the Class B Certificates, but will also
include recoveries to the extent allocable to principal on Receivables which
became Defaulted Receivables in one or more prior Collection Periods. The "Class
B Principal Distributable Amount" and the "Class B Interest Distributable
Amount" with respect to each Distribution Date will be calculated in the same
manner as the Class A Principal Distributable Amount and the Class A Interest
Distributable Amount, respectively, in each case appropriately modified to
relate to the Class B Certificates.
 
   
     The "Monthly Principal Payment" with respect to each Distribution Date will
equal (i) the sum of the Pool Balance as of the first day of the related
Collection Period (or, with respect to the first Distribution Date, the Original
Pool Balance) plus the amount on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account (other than
investment earnings) less (ii) the sum of the Pool Balance as of the last day of
such Collection Period plus the amount on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account
(other than investment earnings).
    
 
     The "Class A Certificate Balance" will initially equal the Original Class A
Certificate Balance and on any Distribution Date will equal the Original Class A
Certificate Balance, reduced by all distributions actually made on or prior to
such Distribution Date to Class A Certificateholders allocable to principal. The
"Class B Certificate Balance" will initially equal the Original Class B
Certificate Balance and on any Distribution Date will equal the Original Class B
Certificate Balance, reduced by (i) all distributions actually made on or prior
to such Distribution Date to Class B Certificateholders allocable to principal
and (ii) Realized Losses allocable to the Class B Certificates. "Realized
Losses" with respect to each Collection Period will equal the amount by which
(a) the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all Receivables which became
Defaulted Receivables during such Collection Period exceeds (b) the sum of (i)
the aggregate liquidation proceeds recovered in respect of principal of such
Defaulted Receivables during such Collection Period and (ii) recoveries in
respect of all Defaulted Receivables received in such Collection Period, to the
extent not otherwise included in the amount determined pursuant to clause (i)
above.
 
     Payment of Distributable Amounts. Prior to each Distribution Date, the
Servicer will calculate the amount to be distributed to the Certificateholders.
On each Distribution Date, the Trustee will distribute to Certificateholders the
following amounts in the following order of priority, to the extent of Available
Funds for such Distribution Date:
 
          (i) to the Class A Certificateholders, an amount equal to the Class A
     Interest Distributable Amount and any unpaid Class A Interest Carryover
     Shortfall, such amount to be paid from Collected
 
                                       26
<PAGE>   28
 
     Interest (as Collected Interest has been reduced by reimbursing the
     Servicer for any outstanding Advances and paying the Servicer the Servicing
     Fee, including any unpaid Servicing Fees with respect to one or more prior
     Collection Periods); and if such Collected Interest is insufficient, the
     Class A Certificateholders will receive such deficiency first, from the
     Class B Percentage of Collected Principal and second, if such amounts are
     still insufficient, from monies on deposit in the Reserve Fund;
 
          (ii) to the Class B Certificateholders, an amount equal to the Class B
     Interest Distributable Amount and any unpaid Class B Interest Carryover
     Shortfall, such amount to be paid from Collected Interest (after giving
     effect to the reduction in Collected Interest described in clause (i)
     above); and if such Collected Interest is insufficient, the Class B
     Certificateholders will be entitled to receive such deficiency from monies
     on deposit in the Reserve Fund;
 
          (iii) to the Class A Certificateholders, an amount equal to the Class
     A Principal Distributable Amount and any unpaid Class A Principal Carryover
     Shortfall, such amount to be paid from Collected Principal (after giving
     effect to the reduction in Collected Principal described in clause (i)
     above); and if such Collected Principal is insufficient, the Class A
     Certificateholders will be entitled to receive such deficiency first, from
     Collected Interest (after giving effect to the reduction in Collected
     Interest described in clauses (i) and (ii) above) and second, if such
     amounts are still insufficient, from monies on deposit in the Reserve Fund;
     and
 
          (iv) to the Class B Certificateholders, an amount equal to the Class B
     Principal Distributable Amount and any unpaid Class B Principal Carryover
     Shortfall, such amount to be paid from Collected Principal (after giving
     effect to the reduction in Collected Principal described in clauses (i) and
     (iii) above); and if such Collected Principal is insufficient, the Class B
     Certificateholders will be entitled to receive such deficiency first, from
     Collected Interest (after giving effect to the reduction in Collected
     Interest described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above) and second, if
     such amounts are still insufficient, from monies on deposit in the Reserve
     Fund. (Section 14.07)
 
     The "Class A Interest Carryover Shortfall" with respect to any Distribution
Date will equal the excess, if any, of the Class A Interest Distributable Amount
for such Distribution Date and any outstanding Class A Interest Carryover
Shortfall from the immediately preceding Distribution Date plus interest on such
outstanding Class A Interest Carryover Shortfall, to the extent permitted by
law, at the Class A Pass-Through Rate from such immediately preceding
Distribution Date through the current Distribution Date, over the amount of
interest distributed to the Class A Certificateholders on such Distribution
Date. The "Class A Principal Carryover Shortfall" with respect to any
Distribution Date will equal the excess of the Class A Principal Distributable
Amount plus any outstanding Class A Principal Carryover Shortfall with respect
to one or more prior Distribution Dates over the amount of principal that the
holders of the Class A Certificates actually received on such Distribution Date.
 
     The "Class B Interest Carryover Shortfall" and the "Class B Principal
Carryover Shortfall" with respect to any Distribution Date will be calculated in
the same manner as the Class A Interest Carryover Shortfall and the Class A
Principal Carryover Shortfall, respectively, in each case appropriately modified
to relate to the Class B Certificates.
 
     Any Excess Amounts in the Certificate Account with respect to any
Distribution Date, after giving effect to the distributions described in clauses
(i) through (iv) of the third preceding paragraph, will be distributed in the
following amounts and in the following order of priority: (i) to the Reserve
Fund until the amount on deposit therein equals the Specified Reserve Fund
Balance and (ii) to the Seller.
 
SUBORDINATION OF THE CLASS B CERTIFICATES; RESERVE FUND
 
     The rights of the Class B Certificateholders to receive distributions with
respect to the Receivables will be subordinated to the rights of the Servicer
(to the extent that the Servicer is reimbursed for any outstanding Advances and
is paid the Servicing Fee, including any unpaid Servicing Fees with respect to
one or more prior Collection Periods) and Class A Certificateholders to the
limited extent described below. This subordination is intended to enhance the
likelihood of timely receipt by Class A Certificateholders of the full amount of
 
                                       27
<PAGE>   29
 
interest and principal required to be paid to them, and to afford such
Certificateholders limited protection against losses in respect of the
Receivables.
 
   
     No distribution will be made to the Class B Certificateholders on any
Distribution Date in respect of (i) interest until the full amount of interest
on the Class A Certificates payable on such Distribution Date has been
distributed to the Class A Certificateholders and (ii) principal until the full
amount of interest on and principal of the Class A Certificates payable on such
Distribution Date has been distributed to the Class A Certificateholders.
Distributions of interest on the Class B Certificates, to the extent of
Collected Interest and certain available amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund,
will not be subordinated to the payment of principal on the Class A
Certificates. Because the rights of the Class B Certificateholders to receive
distributions of principal will be subordinated to the rights of the Class A
Certificateholders to receive distributions of interest and principal to the
extent described herein, the aggregate amount of principal distributions on the
Class B Certificates may be affected by the loss experience of the Receivables.
If the aggregate amount of losses experienced by the Receivables exceeds the
amount on deposit in the Reserve Fund, Class B Certificateholders may not
recover their initial investment in the Class B Certificates.
    
 
   
     In the event of delinquencies or losses on the Receivables, the protection
afforded to the Class A Certificateholders will be effected both by the
application of available funds for such Distribution Date in the priorities
specified under "Distributions on the Certificates -- Payment of Distributable
Amounts," and the establishment of the Reserve Fund. The Reserve Fund will not
be a part of or otherwise includible in the Trust but will be a segregated trust
account held by the Trustee. The Reserve Fund will be funded by the Seller on
the Closing Date in an amount equal to $2,625,000 plus an amount attributable to
the maximum aggregate Negative Carry Amount. Thereafter, on each Distribution
Date, all Excess Amounts, if any, will be deposited from time to time in the
Reserve Fund to the extent necessary to maintain the amount in the Reserve Fund
at the Specified Reserve Fund Balance. Any assets (and earnings thereon) in the
Reserve Fund will be owned by, and taxed to, the Seller for federal income and
state and local franchise tax purposes.
    
 
   
     The "Specified Reserve Fund Balance" with respect to the first Distribution
Date will equal $2,625,000 plus an amount equal to the maximum aggregate
Negative Carry Amount. On each Distribution Date thereafter, the Specified
Reserve Fund Balance will equal 1.75% of the sum of the Class A Certificate
Balance and the Class B Certificate Balance (after giving effect to
distributions of principal to be made on such Distribution Date); provided,
however, that so long as the foregoing sum of the Class A Certificate Balance
and the Class B Certificate Balance exceeds $3,500,000, the Specified Reserve
Fund Balance will not be less than $3,500,000. From and after the Distribution
Date as of which the foregoing sum of the Class A Certificate Balance and the
Class B Certificate Balance is less than $3,500,000, the Specified Reserve Fund
Balance will equal such sum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on each Distribution
Date following any Fiscal Quarter in which losses or delinquencies in respect of
the Receivables exceed the percentages to be specified in the Agreement, the
Specified Reserve Fund Balance will be equal to the greater of the amount
described above or an amount equal to the Pool Balance as of the immediately
preceding Record Date multiplied by a percentage determined by subtracting from
18% a fraction (expressed as a percentage) equal to one minus a fraction, the
numerator of which will equal the Class A Certificate Balance and the
denominator of which will equal the Pool Balance plus an amount equal to the
amount on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account (other than investment earnings),
in each case as of the last day of the three related Collection Periods in such
Fiscal Quarter; provided, however, that following any Fiscal Quarter thereafter
in which the losses and delinquencies in respect of the Receivables are less
than the percentages to be specified in the Agreement, the Specified Reserve
Fund Balance shall return to the amount described in the first two sentences of
this paragraph. A "Fiscal Quarter" will mean each of the following three month
periods: (i) January, February and March; (ii) April, May and June; (iii) July,
August and September; and (iv) October, November and December. In addition, if
on any Distribution Date cumulative losses in respect of the Receivables exceed
1.5% of the Original Pool Balance and the aggregate principal balance of all
Subsequent Receivables conveyed to the Trust as of the related Subsequent Cutoff
Dates, the Specified Reserve Fund Balance shall remain at the level in effect as
of such date and shall not be reduced further in accordance with the first two
sentences of this paragraph.
    
 
                                       28
<PAGE>   30
 
     The Servicer may, from time to time after the date of this Prospectus,
request each Rating Agency to approve a formula for determining the Specified
Reserve Fund Balance that is different from that described above and would
result in a decrease in the amount of the Specified Reserve Fund Balance or the
manner by which it is funded. If each Rating Agency delivers a letter to the
Trustee to the effect that the use of any such new formulation will not result
in a Ratings Effect, then the Specified Reserve Fund Balance will be determined
in accordance with such new formula. The Agreement will accordingly be amended
to reflect such new calculation without the need for consent of any
Certificateholder.
 
     On each Distribution Date, funds will be withdrawn from the Reserve Fund as
described above for distribution, first to Class A Certificateholders to the
extent of shortfalls in the amounts available to make required distributions of
interest on the Class A Certificates, second to Class B Certificateholders to
the extent of shortfalls in the amounts available to make required distributions
of interest on the Class B Certificates, third to Class A Certificateholders to
the extent of shortfalls in the amounts available to make required distributions
of principal on the Class A Certificates and fourth to Class B
Certificateholders to the extent of shortfalls in the amounts available to make
required distributions of principal on the Class B Certificates.
 
   
     On each Distribution Date relating to the Funding Period, the amount of
Collected Interest for such Distribution Date will include an amount equal to
the Negative Carry Amount for the related Collection Period, if any, which
amount will be withdrawn from the Reserve Fund.
    
 
   
     On each Distribution Date, the Trustee will deposit all Excess Amounts, if
any, into the Reserve Fund until the amount on deposit therein equals the
Specified Reserve Fund Balance for each Distribution Date. If the amount on
deposit in the Reserve Fund on such Distribution Date (after giving effect to
all deposits thereto or withdrawals therefrom on such Distribution Date) is
greater than the Specified Reserve Fund Balance for each Distribution Date, the
Trustee will release and distribute such excess, together with any Excess
Amounts not required to be deposited into the Reserve Fund, to the Seller.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the Funding Period, all Excess Amounts
will be deposited into the Reserve Fund and will not be paid to the Seller until
the Distribution Date immediately succeeding the date on which the Funding
Period ends (or on the Distribution Date on which the Funding Period ends if the
Funding Period ends on a Distribution Date). Upon any such release of amounts
from the Reserve Fund, the Certificateholders will have no further rights in, or
claims to, such amounts. (Section 14.08)
    
 
     Amounts held from time to time in the Reserve Fund will continue to be held
for the benefit of holders of the Certificates. Funds on deposit in the Reserve
Fund may be invested in Permitted Investments. Investment income on monies on
deposit in the Reserve Fund will not be available for distribution to
Certificateholders or otherwise subject to any claims or rights of the
Certificateholders and will be paid to the Seller. (Section 14.08)
 
     If on any Distribution Date the Class B Certificate Balance equals zero and
amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund have been depleted as a result of losses
in respect of the Receivables, the protection afforded to the Class A
Certificateholders by the subordination of the Class B Certificates and by the
Reserve Fund will be exhausted. In addition, if on any Distribution Date amounts
on deposit in the Reserve Fund have been depleted, the protection afforded to
the Class B Certificateholders by the Reserve Fund will be exhausted. In either
of the foregoing circumstances, the Class A Certificateholders or the Class B
Certificateholders, as the case may be, will bear directly the risks associated
with ownership of the Receivables.
 
     Neither the Class B Certificateholders, the Seller nor the Servicer will be
required to refund any amounts properly distributed or paid to them, whether or
not there are sufficient funds on any subsequent Distribution Date to make full
distributions to the Class A Certificateholders.

EXAMPLE OF DISTRIBUTIONS
 
     The following chart sets forth an example of the application of the
foregoing provisions to the first monthly distribution in respect of the
Certificates:
 
   
     September 1...........  Initial Cutoff Date. The Original Pool Balance will
                               equal the aggregate unpaid principal balance of
                               the Receivables as of the opening of business on
                               this date.
    
 
     September 1 - 30......  Collection Period. The Servicer will receive
                               monthly payments, prepayments and other proceeds
                               on or in respect of the Receivables.
 
   
     October 8.............  Determination Date. On this date, the Servicer will
                               notify the Trustee of, among other things, the
                               amounts to be distributed on the Distribution
                               Date.
    
 
     October 14............  The Business Day immediately preceding the
                               Distribution Date. On or before this date, the
                               Servicer will make or will cause to be made the
                               required remittances to the Certificate Account.
 
   
     October 14............  Record Date. Distributions on the Distribution Date
                               will be made to Certificateholders of record at
                               the close of business on this date.
    
 
     October 15............  Distribution Date. On this date, the Trustee will
                               make the distributions described above.

any time during such calendar year shall have been a Certificateholder a
statement containing the sum of the amounts described in clauses (i) through
(iii) above for the purposes of such Certificateholder's preparation of federal
income tax returns. (Section 14.10) See "Certain Federal Income Tax
Consequences."
    
 
EVIDENCE AS TO COMPLIANCE
 
     The Agreement will provide that a firm of independent public accountants
will furnish to the Trustee on or before April 30 of each year, beginning April
30, 1999, a statement as to compliance by the Servicer during the preceding 12
months ended December 31 (or longer period in the case of the first such
statement) with certain standards relating to the servicing of the Receivables.
(Section 13.11)
 
     The Agreement will also provide for delivery to the Trustee, on or before
April 30 of each year, commencing April 30, 1999, of a certificate signed by an
officer of the Servicer stating that the Servicer has fulfilled its obligations
under the Agreement throughout the preceding 12 months ended December 31 (or
longer period in the case of the first such statement) or, if there has been a
default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, describing each such default.
(Section 13.10)
 
     Copies of such statements and certificates may be obtained by
Certificateholders by a request in writing addressed to the Trustee.
 
CERTAIN MATTERS REGARDING THE SERVICER
 
     The Agreement will provide that the Servicer may not resign from its
obligations and duties as Servicer thereunder, except upon determination that
its performance of such duties is no longer permissible under applicable law. No
such resignation will become effective until the Trustee or a successor servicer
has assumed the Servicer's servicing obligations and duties under the Agreement.
(Section 18.05)
 
     The Agreement will further provide that neither the Servicer nor any of its
directors, officers, employees and agents will be under any liability to the
Trust or the Certificateholders for taking any action or for refraining from
taking any action pursuant to the Agreement; provided, however, that neither the
Servicer nor any such person will be protected against any liability that would
otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence
in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations
and duties thereunder. The Servicer will be under no obligation to appear in,
prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its servicing
responsibilities under the Agreement and that, in its opinion, may cause it to
incur any expense or liability. (Section 18.04)
 
     Any corporation into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or
any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Servicer
is a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or
 
                                       31
<PAGE>   33
 
substantially all of the business of the Servicer, which corporation assumes the
obligations of the Servicer, will be the successor to the Servicer under the
Agreement. (Section 18.03)
 
EVENTS OF DEFAULT
 
     "Events of Default" under the Agreement will consist of: (i) any failure by
the Servicer (or the Seller, so long as Fleetwood Credit is the Servicer) to
deliver to the Trustee as required by the Agreement for distribution to the
Certificateholders any required payment, or any failure by the Servicer to
deliver a Servicer's Certificate with respect to a Distribution Date, which
failure continues unremedied for three Business Days after discovery by an
officer of the Servicer (or the Seller, so long as Fleetwood Credit is the
Servicer), or written notice of such failure is given (a) to the Servicer or the
Seller, as the case may be, by the Trustee or (b) to the Seller or the Servicer,
as the case may be, and to the Trustee by holders of Certificates evidencing not
less than 25% of the voting interests of the Class A Certificates and the Class
B Certificates, voting together as a single class; (ii) any failure by the
Servicer (or the Seller, so long as Fleetwood Credit is the Servicer) duly to
observe or perform in any material respect any other covenant or agreement in
the Agreement which failure materially and adversely affects the rights of
Certificateholders and which continues unremedied for 60 days after the giving
of written notice of such failure (a) to the Servicer or the Seller, as the case
may be, by the Trustee or (b) to the Servicer or the Seller, as the case may be,
and to the Trustee by holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of
the voting interests of the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates,
voting together as a single class; and (iii) certain events of bankruptcy,
insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or
similar proceedings and certain actions by the Servicer (or the Seller, so long
as Fleetwood Credit is the Servicer) indicating its insolvency, reorganization
pursuant to bankruptcy proceedings or inability to pay its obligations. (Section
19.01)
 
RIGHTS UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT
 
     As long as an Event of Default remains unremedied, the Trustee or holders
of Certificates evidencing not less than 51% of the voting interests of the
Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates, voting together as a single
class, may terminate all the rights and obligations of the Servicer under the
Agreement, whereupon the Trustee will succeed, without further action, to all
the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Servicer in its capacity as
such under the Agreement and will be entitled to similar compensation
arrangements. If, however, a bankruptcy trustee or similar official has been
appointed for the Servicer, and no Event of Default other than such appointment
has occurred, such trustee or official may have the power to prevent the Trustee
or such Certificateholders from effecting a transfer of servicing. In the event
that the Trustee is unwilling or unable so to act, it may appoint or petition a
court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor with a net worth of at
least $100,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing of
recreational vehicle or motor vehicle receivables. The Trustee may make such
arrangements for compensation to be paid, which in no event may be greater than
the servicing compensation paid to the Servicer under the Agreement. (Sections
19.01 and 19.02) Notwithstanding such termination, the Servicer shall be
entitled to payment of certain amounts payable to it prior to such termination,
for services rendered prior to such termination.
 
WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS
 
     The holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 51% of the voting
interests of the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates, voting
together as a single class, may waive any default by the Servicer in the
performance of its obligations under the Agreement and its consequences, except
a default in making any required deposits to or payments from the Certificate
Account in accordance with the Agreement or in respect of a covenant or
provision of the Agreement that cannot be modified or amended without the
consent of each Certificateholder (in which event the related waiver will
require the approval of holders of all of the Certificates). No such waiver will
impair the Certificateholders' rights with respect to subsequent defaults.
(Section 19.05)
 
VOTING INTERESTS
 
     For purposes of the Agreement, the "voting interests" of the (i) Class A
Certificates will be allocated among the Class A Certificateholders or Class A
Certificate Owners, as the case may be, in accordance with the Class A
Certificate Balance represented thereby and (ii) Class B Certificates will be
allocated among the Class B Certificateholders or Class B Certificate Owners, as
the case may be, in accordance with the Class B
 
                                       32
<PAGE>   34
 
Certificate Balance represented thereby; except that in certain circumstances
any Class A Certificates or Class B Certificates, as the case may be, held by
the Seller, the Servicer or any of their respective affiliates shall be excluded
from such determination.
 
AMENDMENT
 
     The Agreement may be amended by the Seller, the Servicer and the Trustee,
without the consent of the Certificateholders, to cure any ambiguity, correct or
supplement any provision therein which may be inconsistent with any other
provision therein, to add any other provisions with respect to matters or
questions arising under such Agreement which are not inconsistent with the
provisions of the Agreement, to add or provide for any credit enhancement for
the Class B Certificates or to permit certain changes with respect to the
Specified Reserve Fund Balance or any Servicer Letter of Credit; provided,
however, that any such action will not, in the opinion of counsel satisfactory
to the Trustee, materially and adversely affect the interest of any
Certificateholder (including any amendment that would adversely affect the
Trust's status as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes), and
provided, further, that in the case of a change with respect to the Specified
Reserve Fund Balance or any Servicer Letter of Credit the Trustee receives a
letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that such amendment will not result
in a Ratings Effect.
 
     The Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Seller, the
Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 51% of the voting interests of all Certificates, voting
together as a single class, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Agreement or
of modifying in any manner the rights of each Class of Certificateholders;
provided, however, that no such amendment may (i) except as described above,
increase or reduce in any manner the amount of or accelerate or delay the timing
of collections of payments on or in respect of the Receivables or (ii) reduce
the aforesaid percentage of the voting interests of which the holders of either
Class of Certificates are required to consent to any such amendment, without the
consent of the holders of all of the relevant Class of Certificates. (Section
22.01)
 
LIST OF CERTIFICATEHOLDERS
 
     Upon a written request of the Servicer, the Trustee, as Certificate
Registrar, will provide to the Servicer within 15 days after receipt of such
request, a list of the names and addresses of all Certificateholders. In
addition, three or more Certificateholders or holders of either Class of
Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the voting interests of such Class,
upon compliance by such Certificateholders with certain provisions of the
Agreement, may request that the Trustee, as Certificate Registrar, afford such
Certificateholders access during business hours to the current list of
Certificateholders for purposes of communicating with other Certificateholders
with respect to their rights under the Agreement. (Section 16.06)
 
     The Agreement will not provide for the holding of any annual or other
meetings of Certificateholders.
 
TERMINATION
 
     The obligations of the Servicer, the Seller and the Trustee pursuant to the
Agreement will terminate with respect to the Certificateholders upon the
earliest to occur of (i) the maturity or other liquidation of the last
Receivable and the disposition of any amounts received upon liquidation of any
property remaining in the Trust, (ii) the payment to Certificateholders of all
amounts required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement and (iii) the
occurrence of either event described below.
 
   
     In order to avoid excessive administrative expenses, the Seller or the
Servicer, or any successor to the Servicer, will be permitted at its option to
purchase from the Trust, on any Distribution Date following the last day of a
Collection Period as of which the Pool Balance is 10% or less of the sum of the
Original Pool Balance and the aggregate principal balance of all Subsequent
Receivables conveyed to the Trust as of the related Subsequent Cutoff Dates, all
remaining Receivables at a price equal to the aggregate Repurchase Amounts for
the Receivables (including Defaulted Receivables), plus the appraised value of
any other property held by the Trust (less liquidation expenses). In the event
that both the Seller and the Servicer, or any successor to the Servicer, elect
to purchase the Receivables, the party first notifying the Trustee (based on the
Trustee's receipt of such notice) shall be permitted to purchase the
Receivables. Exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates.
    
 
                                       33
<PAGE>   35
 
   
     If neither the Seller nor the Servicer (nor any successor to the Servicer)
exercises its optional termination right within 90 days after the last day of a
Collection Period as of which such right can first be exercised, the Trustee
shall solicit bids for the purchase of the Receivables remaining in the Trust.
In the event that satisfactory bids are received as described below, the sale
proceeds will be distributed to Certificateholders on the second Distribution
Date succeeding the last day of such Collection Period. Any purchaser of the
Receivables must agree to the continuation of the then current Servicer as
Servicer on terms substantially similar to those in the Agreement. Any such sale
will effect early retirement of the Certificates.
    
 
     The Trustee must receive at least two bids from prospective purchasers that
are considered at the time to be competitive participants in the market for
motor vehicle retail installment sale contracts. The highest bid may not be less
than the fair market value of such Receivables and must equal the sum of (i) the
greater of (a) the aggregate Repurchase Amounts for the Receivables (including
Defaulted Receivables), plus the appraised value of any other property held by
the Trust (less liquidation expenses) or (b) an amount that when added to
amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account that would constitute Available
Funds for such second succeeding Distribution Date would result in proceeds
sufficient to distribute the sum of (1) the Class A Distributable Amount plus
any unpaid Class A Principal and Interest Carryover Shortfalls and (2) the Class
B Distributable Amount plus any unpaid Class B Principal and Interest Carryover
Shortfalls, and (ii) the sum of (a) an amount sufficient to reimburse the
Servicer for any outstanding Advances and (b) the Servicing Fee payable on such
final Distribution Date, including any unpaid Servicing Fees with respect to one
or more prior Collection Periods. The Trustee may consult with financial
advisors, including the Underwriters, to determine if the fair market value of
such Receivables has been offered. Upon the receipt of such bids, the Trustee
shall sell and assign such Receivables to the highest bidder and the
Certificates shall be retired on such Distribution Date. If any of the foregoing
conditions are not met, the Trustee shall decline to consummate such sale and
shall not be under any obligation to solicit any further bids or otherwise
negotiate any further sale of Receivables remaining in the Trust. In such event,
however, the Trustee may from time to time solicit bids in the future for the
purchase of such Receivables upon the same terms described above.
 
     The Trustee will give written notice of termination to each
Certificateholder of record. The final distribution to each Certificateholder
will be made only upon surrender and cancellation of such holder's Certificates
at any office or agency of the Trustee specified in the notice of termination.
Any funds remaining in the Trust, after the Trustee has taken certain measures
to locate a Certificateholder and such measures have failed, will be distributed
to the United Way. (Sections 21.01 and 21.02)
 
DUTIES OF THE TRUSTEE
 
     The Trustee will make no representations as to the validity or sufficiency
of the Agreement, the Certificates (other than the execution and authentication
thereof) or of any Receivables or related documents, and will not be accountable
for the use or application by the Seller or the Servicer of any funds paid to
the Seller or the Servicer in respect of the Certificates or the Receivables, or
the investment of any monies by the Servicer before such monies are deposited
into the Certificate Account. The Trustee will not independently verify the
Receivables. If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee
will be required to perform only those duties specifically required of it under
the Agreement. Generally those duties will be limited to the receipt of the
various certificates, reports or other instruments required to be furnished to
the Trustee under the Agreement, in which case it will only be required to
examine them to determine whether they conform to the requirements of the
Agreement. The Trustee will not be charged with knowledge of a failure by the
Servicer to perform its duties under the Agreement which failure constitutes an
Event of Default unless the Trustee obtains actual knowledge of such failure as
specified in the Agreement. (Sections 20.01 and 20.05)
 
     The Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or
powers vested in it by the Agreement or to make any investigation of matters
arising thereunder or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation thereunder
or in relation thereto at the request, order or direction of any of the
Certificateholders, unless such Certificateholders have offered to the Trustee
reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities
that may be incurred therein or thereby. No Certificateholder will have any
right under the Agreement to institute any proceeding with respect to the
Agreement, unless such holder previously has
 
                                       34
<PAGE>   36
 
given to the Trustee written notice of default and (i) the Event of Default
arises from the Servicer's failure to remit payments when due or (ii) the
holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the voting interests of
the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates, voting together as a
single class, have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such
proceeding in its own name as the Trustee thereunder and have offered to the
Trustee reasonable indemnity and the Trustee for 30 days has neglected or
refused to institute any such proceedings. (Section 20.04)
 
THE TRUSTEE
 
   
     The Chase Manhattan Bank will be the Trustee under the Agreement. The
Trustee and any of its affiliates may hold Certificates in their own names or as
pledgees. (Section 20.06) For the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of
certain jurisdictions, the Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly (or in some
instances, the Trustee acting alone) will have the power to appoint co-trustees
or separate trustees of all or any part of the Trust. In the event of such an
appointment, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed
upon the Trustee by the Agreement will be conferred or imposed upon the Trustee
and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly, or, in any jurisdiction in
which the Trustee will be incompetent or unqualified to perform certain acts,
singly upon such separate trustee or co-trustee who will exercise and perform
such rights, powers, duties and obligations solely at the direction of the
Trustee. (Section 20.13)
    
 
     The Trustee may resign at any time, in which event the Servicer will be
obligated to appoint a successor trustee. The Servicer may also remove the
Trustee if the Trustee ceases to be eligible to continue as such under the
Agreement, becomes legally unable to act or becomes insolvent. In such
circumstances, the Servicer will be obligated to appoint a successor trustee.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee
will not become effective until acceptance of the appointment by such successor
trustee. (Section 20.10)
 
     The Agreement will provide that the Servicer will pay the Trustee's fees.
(Section 20.07) The Agreement will further provide that the Trustee will be
entitled to indemnification by the Servicer for, and will be held harmless
against, any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee not resulting
from its own willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence (other than by reason
of a breach of any of its representations or warranties set forth in the
Agreement). (Section 18.02)
 
   
     The Trustee's Corporate Trust Office is located at 450 West 33rd Street,
New York, New York 10001.
    
 
                    CERTAIN LEGAL ASPECTS OF THE RECEIVABLES
 
GENERAL
 
     The transfer of the Receivables to the Trustee, the perfection of the
security interest in the Receivables and the enforcement of rights to realize on
the Financed Vehicles as collateral for the Receivables are subject to a number
of federal and state laws, including the UCC as in effect in various states. The
Servicer and the Seller will take such action as is required to perfect the
rights of the Trustee in the Receivables. If, through inadvertence or otherwise,
another party purchases (including the taking of a security interest in) the
Receivables for new value in the ordinary course of its business, without actual
knowledge of the Trust's interest, and takes possession of the Receivables, such
purchaser would acquire an interest in the Receivables superior to the interest
of the Trust.
 
SECURITY INTERESTS IN THE FINANCED VEHICLES
 
     General. Retail installment sale contracts such as the Receivables evidence
the credit sale of recreational vehicles by dealers to obligors; the contracts
also constitute personal property security agreements and include grants of
security interests in the related recreational vehicles under the UCC. In most
states (including California, the state in which the greatest number of Financed
Vehicles are currently registered), perfection rules relating to security
interests in recreational vehicles are generally governed under state
certificate of title statutes (Alabama, Connecticut, Georgia, Maine,
Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island and
Vermont have adopted the Uniform Motor Vehicle Certificate of Title and
Anti-Theft Act) or by the vehicle registration laws of the state in which each
recreational vehicle is located. In
 
                                       35
<PAGE>   37
 
states which have adopted the Uniform Motor Vehicle Certificate of Title and
Anti-Theft Act, security interests in recreational vehicles may be perfected
either by notation of the secured party's lien on the certificate of title or by
delivery of the certificate of title and payment of a fee to the state motor
vehicle authority, depending on particular state law. In states that do not have
a certificate of title statute or that make no provision for notation of a
security interest on a certificate of title, perfection is usually accomplished
by filing pursuant to the provisions of the UCC. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in certain states, folding camping trailers and/or slide-in campers are not
subject to state titling and vehicle registration laws and a security interest
in such recreational vehicles is perfected by filing pursuant to the provisions
of the UCC. In most states, including California, a security interest in a
recreational vehicle is perfected by notation of the secured party's lien on the
vehicle's certificate of title. Each Receivable prohibits the sale or transfer
of the related Financed Vehicle without the consent of Fleetwood Credit.
 
     All retail installment sale contracts that Fleetwood Credit originates or
acquires from Dealers name Fleetwood Credit as obligee or assignee and as the
secured party. Fleetwood Credit also takes all actions necessary under the laws
of the state in which the related recreational vehicles are located to perfect
its security interest in such recreational vehicles, including, where
applicable, having a notation of its lien recorded on the related certificate of
title or delivering the required documents and fees, obtaining possession of the
certificate of title (if possible) or, where applicable, by perfecting its
security interest in the related recreational vehicles under the UCC.
 
   
     Perfection. Pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, Fleetwood
Credit will sell and assign its security interests in the Financed Vehicles to
the Seller and, pursuant to the Agreement and the Transfer Agreements, the
Seller will assign its security interests in the Financed Vehicles to the
Trustee. However, because of the administrative burden and expense, neither
Fleetwood Credit, the Seller nor the Trustee will amend any certificate of title
to identify the Trustee as the new secured party on the certificates of title
relating to the Financed Vehicles nor will any such entity execute any transfer
instrument (including, among other instruments, UCC-3 assignments). In some
states, in the absence of such an amendment or execution, the assignment to the
Trustee of a security interest in Financed Vehicles registered therein may not
be effective or such security interest may not be perfected. If any otherwise
effectively assigned security interest in favor of the Trustee is not perfected,
such assignment of the security interest to the Trustee may not be effective
against creditors or a trustee in bankruptcy of Fleetwood Credit, which
continues to be specified as lienholder on any certificates of title or as
secured party on any UCC filing. However, UCC financing statements with respect
to the transfer of Fleetwood Credit's security interest in the Financed Vehicles
to the Seller and the transfer to the Trustee of the Seller's security interest
in the Financed Vehicles will be filed. In addition, the Servicer will continue
to hold any certificates of title relating to the Financed Vehicles in its
possession as custodian for the Trustee pursuant to the Agreement. See "The
Certificates -- Sale and Assignment of the Receivables."
    
 
   
     A security interest in a motor vehicle registered in the State of
California (in which the greatest number of Financed Vehicles are currently
registered) may be perfected only by depositing with the Department of Motor
Vehicles a properly endorsed certificate of title for the vehicle showing the
secured party as legal owner thereon or if the vehicle has not been previously
registered, an application in usual form for an original registration together
with an application for registration of the secured party as legal owner.
However, under the California Vehicle Code, a transferee of a security interest
in a motor vehicle is not required to reapply to the Department of Motor
Vehicles for a transfer of registration when the interest of the transferee
arises from the transfer of a security agreement by the legal owner to secure
payment or performance of an obligation. Accordingly, under California law, an
assignment such as that under each of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, the
Agreement and each Transfer Agreement is an effective conveyance of Fleetwood
Credit's and the Seller's security interest, as the case may be, without such
re-registration, and under the Receivables Purchase Agreement the Seller will
succeed to Fleetwood Credit's, and under the Agreement and each Transfer
Agreement the Trustee will succeed to the Seller's, rights as secured party.
With respect to Financed Vehicles registered in other states, the Trustee may
not have a first perfected security interest in such Financed Vehicles.
    
 
                                       36
<PAGE>   38
 
   
     In most states, assignments such as those under the Receivables Purchase
Agreement, the Agreement and each Transfer Agreement are an effective conveyance
of a security interest without amendment of any lien noted on a vehicle's
certificate of title, and the assignee succeeds thereby to the assignor's rights
as secured party. Although re-registration of the recreational vehicle is not
necessary to convey a perfected security interest in the Financed Vehicles to
the Trustee, because the Trustee will not be listed as legal owner on the
certificates of title to the Financed Vehicles, its security interest could be
defeated through fraud or negligence. However, in the absence of fraud, forgery
or administrative error, the notation of Fleetwood Credit's lien on the
certificates of title will be sufficient in most states to protect the Trust
against the rights of subsequent purchasers of a Financed Vehicle or subsequent
creditors who take a security interest in a Financed Vehicle. In the Receivables
Purchase Agreement, Fleetwood Credit will represent and warrant, and in the
Agreement and the related Transfer Agreement the Seller will represent and
warrant, that it has, or has taken all action necessary to obtain, a perfected
security interest in each Financed Vehicle. If there are any Financed Vehicles
as to which Fleetwood Credit failed to obtain a first perfected security
interest, its security interest would be subordinate to, among others,
subsequent purchasers of such Financed Vehicles and holders of first perfected
security interests therein. Such a failure, however, would constitute a breach
of Fleetwood Credit's representations and warranties under the Receivables
Purchase Agreement and the Seller's representations and warranties under the
Agreement and each Transfer Agreement, and pursuant to the Agreement, the Seller
would be required to repurchase the related Receivable from the Trustee and,
pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, Fleetwood Credit would be
required to purchase such Receivable from the Seller, in each case unless the
breach were cured. See "The Certificates -- Sale and Assignment of the
Receivables." The Seller will assign its rights under the Receivables Purchase
Agreement to the Trustee.
    
 
     Continuity of Perfection. Under the laws of most states, a perfected
security interest in a recreational vehicle continues for four months after the
vehicle is moved to a new state from the one in which it is initially registered
and thereafter until the owner re-registers such recreational vehicle in the new
state. A majority of states require surrender of a certificate of title to
re-register a vehicle. In those states (including California) that call for the
return of the certificate of title to the holder of the first security interest
listed thereon, the secured party would learn of the re-registration through the
request from the obligor under the related installment sale contract to
surrender possession of the certificate of title. In the case of vehicles
registered in states providing for the notation of a lien on the certificate of
title but not possession by the secured party, the secured party would receive
notice of surrender from the state of re-registration if the security interest
is noted on the certificate of title. Thus, the secured party would have the
opportunity to re-perfect its security interest in the vehicles in the state of
relocation. However, these procedural safeguards will not protect the secured
party if through fraud, forgery or administrative error, the debtor somehow
procures a new certificate of title that does not list the secured party's lien.
Additionally, in states that do not require a certificate of title for
registration of a vehicle, re-registration could defeat perfection. In the
ordinary course of servicing the Receivables, Fleetwood Credit will take steps
to effect re-perfection upon receipt of notice of re-registration or information
from the Obligor as to relocation. Similarly, when an Obligor sells a Financed
Vehicle, Fleetwood Credit must surrender possession of the certificate of title
or will receive notice as a result of its lien noted thereon and accordingly
will have an opportunity to require satisfaction of the related Receivable
before release of the lien. Under the Agreement, the Servicer will be obligated
to take appropriate steps, at its own expense, to maintain perfection of a
security interest in the Financed Vehicles.
 
   
     Priority of Certain Liens Arising by Operation of Law. Under the laws of
California and of most states, liens for repairs performed on a recreational
vehicle and liens for unpaid taxes take priority over even a first perfected
security interest in such vehicle. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, also grants priority to certain federal tax liens over the lien of a
secured party. The laws of certain states and federal law permit the
confiscation of motor vehicles by governmental authorities under certain
circumstances if used in unlawful activities, which may result in the loss of a
secured party's perfected security interest in a confiscated recreational
vehicle. Fleetwood Credit will represent and warrant to the Seller in the
Receivables Purchase Agreement and the Seller will represent and warrant to the
Trustee in the Agreement and in each Transfer Agreement that, as of the Closing
Date or the related subsequent Transfer Date, as the case may be, the security
interest in each Financed Vehicle is prior to all other present liens upon and
security interests in such Financed Vehicle. However, liens for repairs or taxes
could arise at any time during the term of a Receivable.
    
 
                                       37
<PAGE>   39
 
No notice will be given to the Trustee or Certificateholders in the event such a
lien or confiscation arises and any such lien or confiscation arising after the
Closing Date would not give rise to Fleetwood Credit's repurchase obligation
under the Receivables Purchase Agreement or the Seller's repurchase obligation
under the Agreement.
 
REPOSSESSION
 
     In the event of default by an obligor, the holder of the related retail
installment sale contract has all the remedies of a secured party under the UCC,
except where specifically limited by other state laws. The UCC remedies of a
secured party include the right to repossession by self-help means, unless such
means would constitute a breach of the peace. Self-help repossession is the
method employed by the Servicer in most cases and is accomplished simply by
taking possession of the related recreational vehicle. In cases where the
obligor objects or raises a defense to repossession, or if otherwise required by
applicable state law, a court order must be obtained from the appropriate state
court, and the vehicle must then be recovered in accordance with that order. In
some jurisdictions (not including California), the secured party is required to
notify the debtor of the default and the intent to repossess the collateral and
be given a time period within which to cure the default prior to repossession.
In most states (including California), under certain circumstances after the
vehicle has been repossessed, the obligor may reinstate the related contract by
paying the delinquent installments and other amounts due.
 
NOTICE OF SALE; REDEMPTION RIGHTS
 
     In the event of default by the obligor, some jurisdictions (not including
California) require that the obligor be notified of the default and be given a
time period within which to cure the default prior to repossession. Generally,
this right of cure may only be exercised on a limited number of occasions during
the term of the related contract.
 
     The UCC and other state laws require the secured party to provide the
obligor with reasonable notice of the date, time and place of any public sale
and/or the date after which any private sale of the collateral may be held. The
obligor has the right to redeem the collateral prior to actual sale by paying
the secured party the unpaid principal balance of the obligation, accrued
interest thereon plus reasonable expenses for repossessing, holding and
preparing the collateral for disposition and arranging for its sale, plus, in
some jurisdictions, reasonable attorneys' fees or in some states, by payment of
delinquent installments or the unpaid principal balance of the related
obligation.
 
DEFICIENCY JUDGMENTS AND EXCESS PROCEEDS
 
     The proceeds of resale of the Financed Vehicles generally will be applied
first to the expenses of resale and repossession and then to the satisfaction of
the related indebtedness. While some states impose prohibitions or limitations
on deficiency judgments if the net proceeds from resale do not cover the full
amount of the indebtedness, a deficiency judgment can be sought in California
and certain other states that do not prohibit or limit such judgments. In
addition to the notice requirement, the UCC requires that every aspect of the
sale or other disposition, including the method, manner, time, place and terms,
be "commercially reasonable." Generally, courts have held that when a sale is
not "commercially reasonable," the secured party loses its right to a deficiency
judgment. In addition, the UCC permits the debtor or other interested party to
recover for any loss caused by noncompliance with the provisions of the UCC.
Also, prior to a sale, the UCC permits the debtor or other interested person to
restrain the secured party from disposing of the collateral if the debtor or
other interested party establishes that the secured party is not proceeding in
accordance with the "default" provisions under the UCC. However, the deficiency
judgment would be a personal judgment against the obligor for the shortfall, and
a defaulting obligor can be expected to have very little capital or sources of
income available following repossession. Therefore, in many cases, it may not be
useful to seek a deficiency judgment or, if one is obtained, it may be settled
at a significant discount or may be uncollectible.
 
     Occasionally, after resale of a recreational vehicle and payment of all
expenses and indebtedness, there is a surplus of funds. In that case, the UCC
requires the creditor to remit the surplus to any holder of a subordinate lien
with respect to such vehicle or, if no such lienholder exists, to the former
owner of the vehicle.

CERTAIN BANKRUPTCY CONSIDERATIONS
 
     The Seller has taken steps in structuring the transactions described herein
that are intended to make it unlikely that the voluntary or involuntary
application for relief by Fleetwood Credit under the United States Bankruptcy
Code or similar applicable state laws (collectively, "Insolvency Laws") will
result in consolidation of the assets and liabilities of the Seller with those
of Fleetwood Credit. These steps include the creation of the Seller as a wholly
owned, limited purpose subsidiary pursuant to articles of incorporation
containing certain limitations (including requiring that the Seller must have at
least two "Independent Directors" and restrictions on the nature of the Seller's
business and on its ability to commence a voluntary case or proceeding under any
Insolvency Law without the affirmative vote of a majority of its directors,
including each Independent Director). In addition, to the extent that the Seller
granted a security interest in the Receivables to the Trust, and that interest
was validly perfected before the bankruptcy or insolvency of Fleetwood Credit
and was not taken or granted in contemplation of insolvency or with the intent
to hinder, delay or defraud Fleetwood Credit or its creditors, that security
interest should not be subject to avoidance, and payments to the Trust with
respect to the Receivables should not be subject to recovery by a creditor or
trustee in bankruptcy of Fleetwood Credit. If, notwithstanding the foregoing,
(i) a court concluded that the assets and liabilities of the Seller should be
consolidated with those of Fleetwood Credit in the event of the application of
applicable Insolvency Laws to Fleetwood Credit or following the bankruptcy or
insolvency of Fleetwood Credit the security interest in the Receivables granted
by the Seller to the Trustee should be avoided; (ii) a filing were made under
any Insolvency Law by or against the Seller; or (iii) an attempt were made to
litigate any of the foregoing issues, delays in payments on the Certificates and
possible reductions in the amount of such payments could occur. On the Closing
Date, counsel to Fleetwood Credit and the Seller will render an opinion which
concludes that following the bankruptcy of Fleetwood Credit, a court, applying
the principles set forth in such opinion, would not allow a creditor or trustee
in bankruptcy to consolidate the assets and liabilities of Fleetwood Credit and
the Seller on the basis of any applicable legal theory theretofore recognized by
a court of competent jurisdiction so as to adversely affect the ultimate payment
of all amounts owing under the Class A Certificates and the Class B
Certificates.
 
     Fleetwood Credit and the Seller will treat the transactions described
herein as a sale of the Receivables to the Seller, such that the automatic stay
provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code would not apply to the
Receivables in the event that Fleetwood Credit were to become a debtor in a
bankruptcy case. A case decided by the United States Court of Appeals for the
Tenth Circuit in 1993 contains language to the effect that under the UCC
accounts sold by a debtor would remain property of the debtor's bankruptcy
estate, whether or not the sale of accounts was perfected under the UCC. UCC
Article 9 applies to the sale of chattel paper as well as the sale of accounts
and although the Receivables constitute chattel paper under the UCC rather than
accounts, perfection of a security interest in both chattel paper and accounts
may be accomplished by the filing of a UCC-1 financing statement. If, following
a bankruptcy of Fleetwood Credit, a court were to follow the reasoning of the
Tenth Circuit reflected in the case described above, then the Receivables would
be included in the bankruptcy estate of Fleetwood Credit and delays in payments
of collections on or in respect of the Receivables could occur.
 
CONSUMER PROTECTION LAWS
 
     Numerous federal and state consumer protection laws and related regulations
impose substantial requirements upon creditors and services involved in consumer
finance. These laws include the Truth-in-Lending Act, the Equal Credit
Opportunity Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, the Fair Credit Billing Act,
the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the
Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, the Federal Reserve Board's Regulations B and Z, the
Soldiers' and Sailors' Relief Act, the Military Reservist Relief Act, state
adaptations of the National Consumer Act and of the Uniform Consumer Credit Code
and state motor vehicle retail installment sales acts, retail installment sales
acts and other similar laws. Also, the laws of California and of certain other
states impose finance charge ceilings and other restrictions on consumer
transactions and require contract disclosures in addition to those required
under federal law. These requirements impose specific statutory liabilities upon
creditors who fail to comply with their provisions. In some cases, this
liability could affect the ability of an assignee such as the Trustee to enforce
consumer finance contracts such as the Receivables.

     The so-called "Holder-in-Due-Course Rule" of the Federal Trade Commission
(the "FTC Rule"), has the effect of subjecting any assignee of the seller in a
consumer credit transaction to all claims and defenses which the obligor in the
transaction could assert against the seller of the goods. Liability under the
FTC Rule is limited to the amounts paid by the obligor under the contract, and
the holder of the contract may also be unable to collect any balance remaining
due thereunder from the obligor. The FTC Rule is generally duplicated by the
Uniform Consumer Credit Code, other state statutes or the common law in certain
states. Most of the Receivables will be subject to the requirements of the FTC
Rule. Accordingly, the Trustee, as holder of the Receivables, will be subject to
any claims or defenses that the purchaser of the related Financed Vehicle may
assert against the seller of the Financed Vehicle. Such claims are limited to a
maximum liability equal to the amounts paid by the Obligor under the related
Receivables.
 
     Under California law and most state vehicle dealer licensing laws, sellers
of recreational vehicles are required to be licensed to sell vehicles at retail
sale. In addition, with respect to used vehicles, the Federal Trade Commission's
Rule on Sale of Used Vehicles requires that all sellers of used vehicles
prepare, complete and display a "Buyer's Guide" which explains the warranty
coverage for such vehicles. Furthermore, Federal Odometer Regulations
promulgated under the Motor Vehicle Information and Cost Savings Act require
that all sellers of used vehicles furnish a written statement signed by the
seller certifying the accuracy of the odometer reading. If a seller is not
properly licensed or if either a Buyer's Guide or Odometer Disclosure Statement
was not provided to the purchaser of a Financed Vehicle, the Obligor may be able
to assert a defense against the seller of the Financed Vehicle. If an Obligor on
a Receivable were successful in asserting any such claim or defense, the
Servicer would pursue on behalf of the Trust any reasonable remedies against the
seller or manufacturer of the vehicle, subject to certain limitations as to the
expense of any such action specified in the Agreement.
 
     Courts have applied general equitable principles to secured parties
pursuing repossession or litigation involving deficiency balances. These
equitable principles may have the effect of relieving an obligor from some or
all of the legal consequences of a default.
 
     In several cases, consumers have asserted that the self-help remedies of
secured parties under the UCC and related laws violate the due process
protections of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United
States. Courts have generally either upheld the notice provisions of the UCC and
related laws as reasonable or have found that the creditor's repossession and
resale do not involve sufficient state action to afford constitutional
protection to consumers.
 
   
     Fleetwood Credit will represent and warrant under the Receivables Purchase
Agreement and the Seller will represent and warrant under the Agreement and
under each Transfer Agreement that each Receivable complies with all
requirements of law in all material respects. Accordingly, if an Obligor has a
claim against the Trustee for violation of any law and such claim materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in a Receivable, such
violation would constitute a breach of such representation and warranty under
the Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Agreement and under the related Transfer
Agreement and would create an obligation of Fleetwood Credit and the Seller to
repurchase such Receivable unless the breach were cured. See "The
Certificates -- Sale and Assignment of the Receivables."
    
 
     Any shortfall in payments on or in respect of the Receivables described
under this subheading, to the extent not otherwise covered by amounts otherwise
payable to the Class B Certificateholders pursuant to the subordination of the
Class B Certificateholders or from amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund, could
result in losses to the Class A Certificateholders. In addition, any such
shortfall, to the extent not covered by amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund,
could result in losses to the Class B Certificateholders.
 
OTHER LIMITATIONS
 
     In addition to the laws limiting or prohibiting deficiency judgments,
numerous other statutory provisions, including federal bankruptcy laws and
related state laws, may interfere with or affect the ability of a creditor to
realize upon collateral or enforce a deficiency judgment. For example, in a
Chapter 13 proceeding under the federal bankruptcy law, a court may prevent a
creditor from repossessing a recreational vehicle, and, as part of the
rehabilitation plan, reduce the amount of the secured indebtedness to the market
value of the recreational
 
                                       40
<PAGE>   42
 
vehicle at the time of bankruptcy (as determined by the court), leaving the
party providing financing as a general unsecured creditor for the remainder of
the indebtedness. A bankruptcy court may also reduce the monthly payments due
under the related contract or change the rate of interest and time of repayment
of the indebtedness.
 
     Under the terms of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Relief Act, an Obligor who
enters the military service after the origination of such Obligor's Receivable
(including an Obligor who is a member of the National Guard or is in reserve
status at the time of the origination of the Obligor and is later called to
active duty) may not be charged interest above an annual rate of 6% during the
period of such Obligor's active duty status, unless a court orders otherwise
upon application of the lender. In addition, pursuant to the Military Reservist
Relief Act, under certain circumstances, California residents called into active
duty with the reserves can delay payments on retail installment contracts,
including the Receivables, for a period, not to exceed 180 days, beginning with
the order to active duty and ending 30 days after release. It is possible that
the foregoing could have an effect on the ability of the Servicer to collect
full amounts of interest on certain of the Receivables. In addition, the Relief
Acts impose limitations which would impair the ability of the Servicer to
repossess an affected Receivable during the Obligor's period of active duty
status. Thus, in the event that such a Receivable goes into default, there may
be delays and losses occasioned by the inability to realize upon the related
Financed Vehicle in a timely fashion.
 
     Any shortfall pursuant to either of the two immediately preceding
paragraphs, to the extent not otherwise covered by amounts otherwise payable to
the Class A Certificateholders pursuant to the subordination of the Class B
Certificates or from amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund, could result in
losses to the Class A Certificateholders. In addition, any such shortfall, to
the extent not covered by amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund, could result
in losses to the Class B Certificateholders.
 
                    CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
 
     The following is a general discussion of certain federal income tax
consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Certificates.
This summary is based upon laws, regulations, rulings and decisions currently in
effect, all of which are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis. The
discussion does not deal with all federal tax consequences applicable to all
categories of investors, some of which may be subject to special rules. In
addition, this summary is generally limited to investors who will hold the
Certificates as "capital assets" (generally, property held for investment)
within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"), and who do not hold the Certificates as part of a
"straddle," a "hedge" or a "conversion transaction." Furthermore, no authority
exists concerning the tax treatment of some aspects of the Certificates, and
there can be no assurance that the Treasury Department will not issue
regulations under Section 1286 of the Code which would modify the treatment
described below. Accordingly, the ultimate federal income tax treatment of the
Certificates may differ substantially from that described below. Investors
should consult their own tax advisors to determine the federal, state, local and
other tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the
Certificates. Prospective investors should note that no rulings have been or
will be sought from the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") with respect to any of
the federal income tax consequences discussed below, and no assurance can be
given that the IRS will not take contrary positions.
 
TAX STATUS OF THE TRUST
 
     In the opinion of Arter & Hadden, special federal tax counsel to the
Seller, the Trust will be classified as a grantor trust under subpart E, part I
of subchapter J of the Code and not as an association taxable as a corporation
for federal income tax purposes. As a result, each Certificateholder will be
subject to federal income taxation as if it owned directly the portion of the
Trust's assets allocable to its Certificates and as if it paid directly its
share of the reasonable expenses paid by the Trust.
 
GENERAL
 
     For purposes of federal income tax, the Trust will be deemed to have
acquired the following assets: (i) the principal portion of each Receivable plus
a portion of the interest due on each Receivable (the "Trust
 
                                       41
<PAGE>   43
 
   
Stripped Bond"), (ii) a portion of the interest due on each Receivable equal to
the difference between the Class B Pass-Through Rate and the Class A
Pass-Through Rate which difference is then multiplied by the Class B Percentage
of each Receivable (the "Trust Stripped Coupon") and (iii) the right to receive
payments from the Reserve Fund. All interest due on each Receivable in excess of
that portion of such interest included in either the Trust Stripped Bond or the
Trust Stripped Coupon above has been retained by the Seller (the "Excess
Receivable Amounts").
    
 
     The Class A Certificateholders in the aggregate will own the Class A
Percentage of the Trust Stripped Bond and the right to receive payments from the
Reserve Fund, and accordingly each Class A Certificateholder will be treated as
owning its pro rata share of such assets. The Class A Certificateholders will
not own any portion of the Trust Stripped Coupon. The Class B Certificateholders
in the aggregate own the Class B Percentage of the Trust Stripped Bond plus 100%
of the Trust Stripped Coupon, if any, and the right to receive payments from the
Reserve Fund, and accordingly each Class B Certificateholder will be treated as
owning its pro rata share in such assets.
 
   
     Each Certificateholder will be required to report on its federal income tax
return, in a manner consistent with its method of accounting, its pro rata share
of the entire gross income of the Trust, including interest or finance charges
earned on the Receivables, Negative Carry Amounts received during the Funding
Period from the Reserve Fund, any payment from the Reserve Fund and any gain or
loss upon collection or disposition of the Receivables. Payments from the
Reserve Fund will have the same character as the amounts they replace (i.e.,
interest or finance charges on, or principal of, the Receivables). In computing
its federal income tax liability, a Certificateholder will be entitled to
deduct, consistent with its method of accounting, its pro rata share of
reasonable fees payable to the Servicer that are paid or incurred by the Trust
as provided in Sections 162 or 212 of the Code. If a Certificateholder is an
individual, estate or trust the deduction for its pro rata share of such fees
will be allowed only to the extent that all of its miscellaneous itemized
deductions, including its share of such fees, exceed 2% of its adjusted gross
income. In addition, Code Section 68 provides that itemized deductions otherwise
allowable for a taxable year of an individual taxpayer whose adjusted gross
income exceeds a specified amount will be reduced by the lesser of (i) 3% of the
excess, if any, of adjusted gross income over such amount, or (ii) 80% of the
amount of itemized deductions otherwise allowable for such year. As a result,
such investors holding Certificates, directly or indirectly through a
pass-through entity, may have aggregate taxable income in excess of the
aggregate amount of cash received on such Certificates with respect to interest
at the related Pass-Through Rate on such Certificates. Subject to the discussion
of original issue discount below, a Certificateholder using the cash method of
accounting must take into account its pro rata share of income and deductions as
and when collected by or paid by the Trust. A Certificateholder using the
accrual method of accounting must take into account its pro rata share of income
and deductions as and when such amounts become due to or payable by the Trust.
    
 
     The Trust Stripped Bond will be treated as a "stripped bond" within the
meaning of Section 1286 of the Code. The Trust Stripped Coupon will be treated
as a "stripped coupon" within the meaning of Section 1286 of the Code. As a
result, the Certificateholders will be deemed to hold interests in "stripped
bonds" and "stripped coupons." For purposes of Code Section 1271 through 1288,
Code Section 1286 treats a stripped bond or a stripped coupon as an obligation
issued on the date that such stripped interest is created.
 
     Guidance by the IRS suggests that a servicing fee in excess of reasonable
servicing ("excess servicing") will be treated under the stripped bond rules. It
is expected that for federal income tax purposes, the Seller will be viewed as
having retained a portion of each interest payment on each Receivable sold to
the Trust. To the extent that the Receivables are characterized as "stripped
bonds," as described above, the income of the Trust allocable to
Certificateholders will not include the portion of the interest on the Excess
Receivable Amounts or the excess servicing treated as strips, and the deductions
allocable to Certificateholders will be limited to their respective shares of
reasonable servicing and other fees. In addition, a Certificateholder will not
be subject to the market discount and premium rules discussed below with respect
to the stripped Receivables, but instead will be subject to the original issue
discount rules contained in the Code. A Certificateholder will be required to
include any original issue discount in income as it accrues, regardless of its
regular method of accounting and whether cash payments are received, using a
method reflecting a constant rate of interest on the Receivables.
 
                                       42
<PAGE>   44
 
STRIPPED BONDS AND STRIPPED COUPONS
 
     Although the tax treatment of stripped bonds is not entirely clear, based
on guidance by the IRS, each purchaser of a Certificate will be treated as the
purchaser of a stripped bond which generally should be treated as a single debt
instrument issued on the day it is purchased for purposes of calculating any
original issue discount. Generally, under Treasury regulations (the "Section
1286 Treasury Regulations"), if the discount on a stripped bond certificate is
larger than a de minimis amount (as calculated for purposes of the original
issue discount rules of the Code) such stripped bond certificate will be
considered to have been issued with original issue discount. See "Accrual of
Original Issue Discount." Based on the preamble to the Section 1286 Treasury
Regulations, although the matter is not entirely clear, the interest income on
the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates (less the Trust Stripped
Coupon Amount) at the sum of the Class A Pass-Through Rate and the portion of
the Servicing Fee Rate that does not constitute excess servicing will be treated
as "qualified stated interest" within the meaning of the Section 1286 Treasury
Regulations and such income will be so treated in the Trustee's tax information
reporting.
 
ACCRUAL OF ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT
 
   
     In determining whether a Certificateholder has purchased its interest in
the Receivables (or any Receivable) at a discount, a portion of the purchase
price for a Certificate may be allocated to the accrued interest on the
Receivables at the time of purchase as though such accrued interest were a
separate asset, thus, in each case, reducing the portion of the purchase price
allocable to the Certificateholder's undivided interest in the Receivables (the
"Purchase Price"). If the Certificates are considered to be issued with original
issue discount either because of a discount in the Purchase Price or under the
stripped bond rules, the rules described in this paragraph would apply.
Generally, the owner of a stripped bond issued or acquired with original issue
discount must include in gross income, as it accrues, the sum of the "daily
portions," as defined below, of the original issue discount on such Certificate
for each day on which it owns a Certificate, including the date of purchase but
excluding the date of disposition. In the case of an original Certificateholder,
the daily portions of original issue discount with respect to a Certificate
generally would be determined as follows. A calculation will be made of the
portion of original issue discount that accrues on the Certificate during each
successive monthly accrual period (or shorter period in respect of the date of
original issue or the final Distribution Date). This will be done, in the case
of each full monthly accrual period, by adding (i) the present value as of the
close of such accrual period of all remaining payments to be received on the
Certificate under the prepayment assumption used in respect of the Certificates
and (ii) any payments received during such accrual period, and subtracting from
that total the "adjusted issue price" of the Certificate at the beginning of
such accrual period. No representation is made that the Receivables will prepay
at any prepayment assumption. The "adjusted issue price" of a Certificate at the
beginning of the first accrual period is its issue price (as determined for
purposes of the original issue discount rules of the Code) and the "adjusted
issue price" of a Certificate at the beginning of a subsequent accrual period is
the "adjusted issued price" at the beginning of the immediately preceding
accrual period plus the amount of original issue discount allocable to that
accrual period and reduced by the amount of any payment made at the end of or
during that accrual period. The original issue discount accruing during such
accrual period will then be divided by the number of days in the period to
determine the daily portion of original issue discount for each day in the
period. With respect to an initial accrual period shorter than a full monthly
accrual period, the daily portions of original issue discount must be determined
according to any reasonable method set forth in the Treasury Regulations with
respect to original issue discount.
    
 
     With respect to the Certificates, the method of calculating original issue
discount as described above will cause the accrual of original issue discount to
either increase or decrease (but never below zero) in any given accrual period
to reflect the fact that prepayments are occurring at a faster or slower rate
than the prepayment assumption used in respect of the Certificates.
 
     Subsequent purchasers that purchase Certificates at more than a de minimis
discount should consult their tax advisors with respect to the proper method to
accrue such original issue discount.
 
                                       43
<PAGE>   45
 
PREMIUM
 
   
     The purchase of a Certificate at more than its adjusted principal amount
(except to the extent that such premium is allocable to accrued but unpaid
interest) will result in the creation of a premium with respect to the interest
in the underlying Receivables represented by such Certificates. In determining
whether a Certificateholder has purchased its interest in the Receivables (or
any Receivable) at a premium, a portion of the purchase price for a Certificate
may be allocated to the accrued interest on the Receivables at the time of
purchase as though such accrued interest were a separate asset, thus, in each
case, reducing the portion of the purchase price allocable to the
Certificateholder's undivided interest in the Receivables. A purchaser (who does
not hold the Certificate for sale to customers or in inventory) may elect under
Section 171 of the Code to amortize such premium. Under the Code, premium is
allocated among the interest payments on the Receivables to which it relates and
is considered as an offset against (and thus a reduction of) such interest
payments. With certain exceptions, such an election would apply to all debt
instruments held or subsequently acquired by the electing holder.
    
 
     Holders of Certificates acquired at a premium are urged to consult with
their own tax advisors regarding the proper treatment of the Certificates for
federal income tax purposes.
 
   
SALE OF A CERTIFICATE
    
 
   
     If a Certificate is sold, gain or loss will be recognized equal to the
difference between the amount realized on the sale (exclusive of amounts
attributable to accrued and unpaid interest, which will be treated as ordinary
income) allocable to each of the Receivables and the Certificateholder's
adjusted basis therein. A Certificateholder's adjusted basis will equal the
Certificateholder's cost for the Certificate, increased by any original issue
discount previously included in income, and decreased (but not below zero) by
any previously amortized premium and by the amount of payments (other than
qualified stated interest) previously received on the Receivables. Any gain or
loss will be capital gain or loss if the Certificate was held as a capital
asset, except that gain will be treated in whole or in part as ordinary interest
income to the extent of the seller's interest in accrued market discount not
previously taken into income on underlying Receivables having a fixed maturity
date of more than one year from the date of origination. Net capital gain of an
individual is subject to varying tax rates depending upon the holding period of
the Certificates.
    
 
CLASS B CERTIFICATEHOLDERS
 
     General. As stated above, the Class B Pass-Through Rate will be equal to
the sum of (i) the Class B Percentage of the Pool Balance multiplied by the
Class A Pass-Through Rate, (ii) a portion of the interest accrued on each
Receivable (i.e., the Trust Stripped Coupon) and (iii) the right to receive
certain payments from the Reserve Fund. Because the purchase price paid by each
Class B Certificateholder will be allocated between that Certificateholder's
interest in the Trust Stripped Bond and the Trust Stripped Coupon based on the
relative fair market values of each asset on the date such Class B Certificate
is purchased, the Trust Stripped Bond may be issued with original issue
discount.
 
     Trust Stripped Bond. Except to the extent modified below, the income on the
Trust Stripped Bond represented by the Certificates will be reported in the same
manner as described above for holders of the Certificates. The interest income
on the Class B Certificates at the Class A Pass-Through Rate and the portion of
the Servicing Fee Rate that does not constitute excess servicing will be treated
as qualified stated interest.
 
     Trust Stripped Coupon. The Trust Stripped Coupon will be treated as a debt
instrument with original issue discount equal to the excess of the total amount
payable with respect to such Trust Stripped Coupon (based on the prepayment
assumption used in pricing the Certificates) over the portion of the purchase
price allocated thereto. The sum of the daily portions of original issue
discount on the Trust Stripped Coupon for each day during a year in which the
Class B Certificateholder holds the Trust Stripped Coupon will be included based
upon the accrual method, regardless of the Certificateholder's regular method of
accounting, in the Class B Certificateholder's income.
 
                                       44
<PAGE>   46
 
     Effect of Subordination. If the Class B Certificateholders receive
distributions of less than their share of the Trust's receipts of principal or
interest (the "Shortfall Amount") because of the subordination of the Class B
Certificates, holders of Class B Certificates would probably be treated for
federal income tax purposes as if they had (i) received as distributions their
full share of such receipts, (ii) paid over to the Class A Certificateholders an
amount equal to such Shortfall Amount and (iii) retained the right to
reimbursement of such amounts to the extent such amounts are otherwise available
as a result of collections on the Receivables or amounts available in the
Reserve Fund.
 
     Under this analysis, (a) Class B Certificateholders would be required to
accrue as current income any interest or original issue discount income of the
Trust that was a component of the Shortfall Amount, even though such amount was
in fact paid to the Class A Certificateholders, (b) a loss would only be allowed
to the Class B Certificateholders when their right to receive reimbursement of
such Shortfall Amount became worthless (i.e., when it becomes clear that amount
will not be available from any source to reimburse such loss) and (c)
reimbursement of such Shortfall Amount prior to such a claim of worthlessness
would not be taxable income to Class B Certificateholders because such amount
was previously included in income. Those results should not significantly affect
the inclusion of income for Class B Certificateholders on the accrual method of
accounting, but could accelerate inclusion of income to Class B
Certificateholders on the cash method of accounting by, in effect, placing them
on the accrual method. Moreover, the character and timing of loss deductions on
certificates such as the Class B Certificates is unclear. Class B
Certificateholders are strongly urged to consult their own tax advisors
regarding the appropriate timing, amount and character of any losses sustained
with respect to the Class B Certificates, including any loss resulting from the
failure to recover previously accrued interest or discount income.
 
FOREIGN CERTIFICATEHOLDERS
 
     Interest attributable to Receivables which is received by a foreign
Certificateholder generally will not be subject to the normal 30% withholding
tax imposed with respect to such payments, provided that (i) the foreign
Certificateholder does not own, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of, and is
not a controlled foreign corporation related to, the Seller and (ii) such holder
fulfills certain certification requirements. Under such requirements, the holder
must certify, under penalty of perjury, that it is not a "United States person"
and provide its name and address. For this purpose, "United States person" means
a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation, partnership or other
entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any
political subdivision thereof or an estate or trust the income of which is
includible in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes,
regardless of its source. Gain realized upon the sale of a Certificate by a
foreign Certificateholder generally will not be subject to United States
withholding tax. If, however, such interest or gain is effectively connected to
the conduct of a trade or business within the United States by such foreign
Certificateholder, such holder will be subject to United States federal income
tax thereon at regular rates. Potential investors who are not United States
persons should consult their own tax advisors regarding the specific tax
consequences to them of owning a Certificate.
 
   
INFORMATION REPORTING AND BACKUP WITHHOLDING
    
 
     The Trustee will furnish or make available, within the prescribed period of
time for tax reporting purposes after the end of each calendar year, to each
Certificateholder or each person holding a Certificate on behalf of a
Certificateholder at any time during such year, such information as the Trustee
deems necessary or desirable to assist Certificateholders in preparing their
federal income tax returns. Payments made on the Certificates and proceeds from
the sale of the Certificates will not be subject to a "backup" withholding tax
of 31% unless, in general, a Certificateholder fails to comply with certain
reporting procedures and is not an exempt recipient under applicable provisions
of the Code.
 
     THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX DISCUSSION SET FORTH ABOVE IS INCLUDED FOR GENERAL
INFORMATION ONLY AND MAY NOT BE APPLICABLE DEPENDING UPON A HOLDER'S PARTICULAR
SITUATION. HOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE TAX

QUENCES UNDER STATE, LOCAL, FOREIGN AND OTHER TAX LAWS AND THE POSSIBLE EFFECTS
OF CHANGES IN FEDERAL OR OTHER TAX LAWS.
 
                              ERISA CONSIDERATIONS
 
     Section 406 of ERISA, and Section 4975 of the Code prohibit a pension,
profit sharing or other employee benefit plan from engaging in certain
transactions involving "plan assets" with persons that are "parties in interest"
under ERISA or "disqualified persons" under the Code with respect to the plan.
ERISA also imposes certain duties on persons who are fiduciaries of plans
subject to ERISA and prohibits certain transactions between a plan and parties
in interest with respect to such plans. Under ERISA, any person who exercises
any authority or control with respect to the management or disposition of the
assets of a plan is considered to be a fiduciary of such plan (subject to
certain exceptions not here relevant). A violation of these "prohibited
transaction" rules may generate excise tax and other liabilities under ERISA and
the Code for such persons.
 
     Pursuant to a final regulation (the "Final Regulation") issued by the
Department of Labor ("DOL") concerning the definition of what constitutes the
"plan assets" of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA or the Code, or an
individual retirement account (an "IRA") (collectively referred to as "Benefit
Plans"), the assets and properties of certain entities in which a Benefit Plan
makes an equity investment could be deemed to be assets of the Benefit Plan in
certain circumstances. Accordingly, if Benefit Plans purchase Class A
Certificates, the Trust could be deemed to hold plan assets unless one of the
exceptions under the Final Regulation is applicable to the Trust.
 
   
     The DOL has granted an administrative exemption to Merrill Lynch, Pierce,
Fenner & Smith Incorporated (Prohibited Transaction Exemption 90-29; Exemption
Application No. D-8012, 55 Fed. Reg. 21459 (May 24, 1990), as amended) (the
"Exemption") from certain of the prohibited transaction rules of ERISA with
respect to the initial purchase, the holding and the subsequent resale by
Benefit Plans of certificates in pass-through trusts that consist of certain
receivables, loans and other obligations that meet the conditions and
requirements of the Exemption. The receivables covered by the Exemption include
recreational vehicle installment obligations such as the Receivables. The
Exemption will apply to the acquisition, holding and resale of Class A
Certificates by a Benefit Plan, provided that specific conditions (certain of
which are described below) are met. It is believed that the Exemption will apply
to the acquisition, holding and disposition in the secondary markets of Class A
Certificates by Benefit Plans and that all conditions of the Exemption other
than those within the control of the investors have been or will be met.
    
 
     Among the conditions which must be satisfied for the Exemption to apply to
the acquisition by a Benefit Plan of the Class A Certificates are the following
(each of which has been or will be met in connection with the Class A
Certificates):
 
          (i) The acquisition of the Class A Certificates by a Benefit Plan is
     on terms (including the price for the Class A Certificates) that are at
     least as favorable to the Benefit Plan as they would be in an arm's-length
     transaction with an unrelated party.
 
          (ii) The rights and interests evidenced by the Class A Certificates
     acquired by the Benefit Plan are not subordinated to the rights and
     interests evidenced by other Certificates of the Trust.
 
          (iii) The Class A Certificates acquired by the Benefit Plan have
     received a rating at the time of such acquisition that is in one of the
     three highest generic rating categories from any of Standard & Poor's,
     Moody's, Duff & Phelps Inc. or Fitch Investors Service, Inc.
 
          (iv) The Trustee must not be an affiliate of any other member of the
     Restricted Group (as defined below).
 
          (v) The sum of all payments made to the Underwriters in connection
     with the distribution of the Class A Certificates represents not more than
     reasonable compensation for underwriting the Class A Certificates. The sum
     of all payments made to and retained by the Seller pursuant to the sale of
     the Receivables to the Trust represents not more than the fair market value
     of such Receivables. The sum of
 
                                       46
<PAGE>   48
 
     all payments made to and retained by the Servicer represents not more than
     reasonable compensation for the Servicer's services under the Agreement and
     reimbursement of the Servicer's reasonable expenses in connection
     therewith.
 
     In addition, it is a condition that the Benefit Plan investing in the Class
A Certificates is an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a)(1) of
Regulation D of the Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
 
   
     The Exemption does not apply to Benefit Plans sponsored by the Seller, the
Underwriters, the Trustee, the Servicer, any Obligor with respect to the
Receivables included in the Trust constituting more than 5% of the aggregate
unamortized principal balance of the assets in the Trust or any affiliate of
such parties (the "Restricted Group"). As of the date hereof, no Obligor with
respect to the Receivables included in the Trust constitutes more than 5% of the
aggregate unamortized principal balance of the Trust (i.e., the initial
principal amount of the Certificates). Moreover, the Exemption provides relief
from certain self-dealing/conflict of interest prohibited transactions, only if,
among other requirements (i) a Benefit Plan's investment in the Class A
Certificates does not exceed 25% of all of the Class A Certificates outstanding
at the time of the acquisition and (ii) immediately after the acquisition, no
more than 25% of the assets of a Benefit Plan with respect to which a person has
discretionary authority or renders investment advice are invested in
certificates representing an interest in a trust containing assets sold or
serviced by the same entity.
    
 
     The Exemption will not be available for Class B Certificates because the
Class B Certificates are subordinate interests. Accordingly, no Plan will be
eligible to purchase or otherwise hold Class B Certificates and no beneficial
interest therein may be sold or otherwise transferred to a Plan.
 
     Due to the complexities of these rules and the penalties imposed upon
persons involved in prohibited transactions, it is important that the fiduciary
of an employee benefit plan considering the purchase of Class A Certificates
consult with its counsel regarding the applicability of the prohibited
transaction provisions of ERISA and the Code to such investment.
 
     The Department of Labor issued Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption
("PTCE") 95-60 on July 12, 1995 in response to the United States Supreme Court
decision John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Co. v. Harris Trust and Savings
Bank, 114 S. Ct. 517 (1993), in which the Supreme Court held that assets held in
an insurance company's general account may be deemed to be "plan assets" for
ERISA purposes under certain circumstances. Subject to certain conditions, PTCE
95-60 provides general relief from the prohibited transaction rules that would
otherwise be applicable to assets held in an insurance company's general
account. Prospective insurance company purchasers should consult with their
counsel to determine whether the decision in John Hancock, as modified by PTCE
95-60, affects their ability to make purchases of the Certificates.

     The Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligations of the
Underwriters are subject to certain conditions precedent and that the
Underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the Certificates if any are
purchased.
 
     The Underwriters have advised the Seller that the Underwriters propose
initially to offer the Class A Certificates and Class B Certificates to the
public at the respective public offering prices set forth on the cover page of
this Prospectus, and to certain dealers at such prices less a concession not in
excess of   % of the Class A Certificate denominations and   % of the Class B
Certificate denominations. The Underwriters may allow and such dealers may
reallow a concession not in excess of   % of the Class A Certificate
denominations and   % of the Class B Certificate denominations. After the
initial public offering, the public offering prices and such concessions may be
changed.
 
     The Underwriting Agreement provides that the Seller and Fleetwood Credit
will jointly and severally indemnify the Underwriters against certain
liabilities, including liabilities under applicable securities laws, or
contribute to payments the Underwriters may be required to make in respect
thereof.
 
     Upon receipt of a request by an investor who has received an electronic
Prospectus from an Underwriter or a request by such investor's representative
within the period during which there is an obligation to deliver a Prospectus,
the Seller or the Underwriters will promptly deliver, or cause to be delivered,
without charge, a paper copy of the Prospectus.
 
     Until the distribution of the Certificates is completed, rules of the
Commission may limit the ability of the Underwriters and certain selling group
members to bid for and purchase the Certificates. As an exemption to these
rules, the Underwriters are permitted to engage in certain transactions that
stabilize the price of the Certificates. Such transactions consist of bids or
purchases for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the
Certificates.
 
     Neither the Seller nor either Underwriter makes any representation or
prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions
described above may have on the prices of the Certificates. In addition, neither
the Seller nor either Underwriter makes any representation that the Underwriters
will engage in such transactions or that such transactions, once commenced, will
not be discontinued without notice.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
    
 
     Section 317(b) of the California Corporations Code (the "Corporations
Code") provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a
party or is threatened to be made a party to any "proceeding" (as defined in
Section 317(a) of the Corporations Code), other than an action by or in the
right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor, by reason of the
fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or other agent of
the corporation (collectively, an "Agent"), against expenses, judgments, fines,
settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection
with such proceeding if the Agent acted in good faith and in a manner the Agent
reasonably believed to be in the best interest of the corporation and, in the
case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct
was unlawful.
 
     Section 317(c) of the Corporations Code provides that a corporation shall
have power to indemnify any Agent who was or is a party or is threatened to be
made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action by or in the right
of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that
such person is or was an Agent, against expenses actually and reasonably
incurred by the Agent in connection with the defense or settlement of such
action if the Agent acted in good faith and in a manner such Agent believed to
be in the best interest of the corporation and its shareholders.
 
     Section 317(c) further provides that no indemnification may be made
thereunder for any of the following: (i) in respect of any claim, issue or
matter as to which the Agent shall have been adjudged to be liable to the
corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which such
proceeding is or was pending shall determine that such Agent is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity for expenses, (ii) of amounts paid in settling
or otherwise disposing of a pending action without court approval and (iii) of
expenses incurred in defending a pending action which is settled or otherwise
disposed of without court approval.
 
     Section 317(d) of the Corporations Code requires that an Agent be
indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred to the extent the
Agent has been successful on the merits in the defense of proceedings referred
to in subdivisions (b) or (c) of Section 317.
 
     Except as provided in Section 317(d), and pursuant to Section 317(e),
indemnification under Section 317 shall be made by the corporation only if
specifically authorized and upon a determination that indemnification is proper
in the circumstances because the Agent has met the applicable standard of
conduct set forth in Section 317(b) or (c), by any of the following: (i) a
majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who are not parties to the
proceeding, (ii) if such a quorum of directors is not obtainable, by
 
                                      II-1
<PAGE>   55
 
independent legal counsel in a written opinion, (iii) approval of the
shareholders, provided that any shares owned by the Agent may not vote thereon,
or (iv) the court in which such proceeding is or was pending.
 
     Pursuant to Section 317(f) of the Corporations Code, the corporation may
advance expenses incurred in defending any proceeding upon receipt of an
undertaking by the Agent to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined
that the Agent is not entitled to be indemnified.
 
     Section 317(h) provides, with certain exceptions, that no indemnification
shall be made under Section 317 where it appears that it would be inconsistent
with a provision of the corporation's articles, bylaws, a shareholder resolution
or an agreement which prohibits or otherwise limits indemnification, or where it
would be inconsistent with any condition expressly imposed by a court in
approving a settlement.
 
     Section 317(i) authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance
on behalf of an Agent for liabilities arising by reason of the Agent's status,
whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify the Agent
against such liability under the provisions of Section 317.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
 
     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes as follows:
 
          (a) To provide to the Underwriters at the closing date specified in
     the Underwriting Agreement certificates in such denominations and
     registered in such names as required by the Underwriters to provide prompt
     delivery to each purchaser.
 
          (b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
     Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers
     and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
     provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the
     opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
     against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore
     unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
     liabilities (other than payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or
     paid by a director, officer or controlling person of such Registrant in the
     successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
     director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
     being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
     the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
     appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
     against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the
     final adjudication of such issue.
 
          (c) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act
     of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part
     of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in
     a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or
     (4) or 497(h) under the Act will be deemed to be part of this registration
     statement as of the time it was declared effective.
 
          (d) For purposes of determining any liability under the Act, each
     post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus will be deemed
     to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
     therein, and the offering of such securities at that time will be deemed to
     be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Merrill Lynch & Co.
Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith
        Incorporated
as Representative of
the several Underwriters
World Financial Center
North Tower
New York, New York  10281

Dear Sirs:

         1.      Introductory.  Fleetwood Credit Receivables Corp., a
California corporation (the "Seller") and a wholly owned subsidiary of
Fleetwood Credit Corp., a California corporation ("Fleetwood Credit"), proposes
to sell to Merrill Lynch & Co., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith
Incorporated ("Merrill Lynch") and Salomon Brothers Inc (the "Underwriters"),
acting severally and not jointly, for whom Merrill Lynch is acting as
representative (in such capacity, the "Representative"), $__________ aggregate
principal amount of _____% Asset Backed Certificates, Class A (the "Class A
Certificates") and $__________ aggregate principal amount of _____% Asset
Backed Certificates, Class B (the "Class B Certificates" and, together with the
Class A Certificates, the "Certificates") of the Fleetwood Credit 1997-B
Grantor Trust (the "Trust").  The Certificates will be issued pursuant to a
pooling and servicing agreement, dated as of September 1, 1997 (the "Pooling
and Servicing Agreement"), among the Seller, Fleetwood Credit, as servicer (in
such capacity, the "Servicer"), and The Chase Manhattan Bank, as trustee (the
"Trustee").  The Class B Certificates will be subordinated to the Class A
Certificates to the limited extent described in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.  This Underwriting Agreement shall hereinafter be
    

<PAGE>   2
   
referred to as "this Agreement."  Capitalized terms used herein and not
otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.

         Each Certificate will represent a fractional undivided interest in the
Trust.  The assets of the Trust will include, among other things, a pool (the
"Receivables Pool") of simple interest retail installment sale contracts (the
"Initial Receivables") secured by the new and used recreational vehicles
financed thereby (the "Initial Financed Vehicles"), certain monies due under
the Receivables on and after September 1, 1997 (the "Initial Cutoff Date") and
amounts on deposit in a trust account (the "Pre-Funding Account"), in each case
as more fully described in the Prospectus, as defined below.  The Initial
Receivables will be sold by Fleetwood Credit to the Seller pursuant to a
receivables purchase agreement, dated as of September 1, 1997 (the "Receivables
Purchase Agreement"), between Fleetwood Credit and the Seller, and the Seller
in turn will sell the Initial Receivables to the Trust pursuant to the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement.  From time to time during the Funding Period pursuant
to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, Fleetwood Credit will be obligated to
sell, and the Seller will be obligated to purchase, additional simple interest
retail installment sale contracts (the "Subsequent Receivables" and, together
with the Initial Receivables, the "Receivables") secured by the new and used
recreational vehicles financed thereby (the "Subsequent Financed Vehicles" and,
together with the Initial Financed Vehicles, the "Financed Vehicles"), which
Subsequent Receivables will be described in one or more agreements among
Fleetwood Credit, the Seller and the Trustee (each, a "Transfer Agreement"),
dated as of the related date of transfer (each, a "Subsequent Transfer Date").
The Subsequent Receivables will in turn be sold by the Seller to the Trust
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the related Transfer
Agreement.  The maximum aggregate principal amount of Subsequent Receivables to
be sold during the Funding Period by Fleetwood Credit to the Seller and by the
Seller to the Trust is $__________.
    

         2.      Representations and Warranties of the Seller and Fleetwood
Credit.

         (a)     The Seller represents and warrants to, and agrees with, each
Underwriter that:

                 (i)      A registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-33745),
         including a form of prospectus, relating to the Certificates has been
         filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")
         and either (1) has been declared effective under the Securities Act of
         1933, as amended (the "Act"), and is not proposed to be amended or (2)
         is proposed to be amended by amendment or post-effective amendment.
         If the Seller does not propose to amend the registration statement and
         if any post-effective amendment to such registration statement has
         been filed with the Commission prior to the execution and delivery of
         this Agreement, the most recent post-effective amendment has been
         declared effective by the Commission.  For purposes of this Agreement,
         "Effective Time" means (1) if the Seller has advised the Underwriters
         that it does not propose to amend the registration statement, the date
         and time as of which such registration statement, or the most recent
         post-effective amendment thereto (if any) filed prior to the execution
         and delivery of this Agreement, was declared effective by the
         Commission or (2) if the Seller has advised the Underwriters that it
         proposes to file an amendment or post-effective amendment to the

                                      2
<PAGE>   3
         registration statement, the date and time as of which such
         registration statement, as amended by such amendment or post-effective
         amendment, as the case may be, is declared effective by the
         Commission.  "Effective Date" means the date of the Effective Time.
         The registration statement, as amended at the Effective Time,
         including all information (if any) deemed to be a part of such
         registration statement as of the Effective Time pursuant to Rule
         430A(b) under the Act, and including the exhibits thereto, is
         hereinafter referred to as the "Registration Statement," and the form
         of prospectus relating to the Certificates, as first filed with the
         Commission pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 424(b) under the
         Act ("Rule 424(b)"), or (if no such filing is required) as included in
         the Registration Statement, is hereinafter referred to as the
         "Prospectus."

                 (ii)     If the Effective Time is prior to the execution and
         delivery of this Agreement:  (1) on the Effective Date, the
         Registration Statement conformed, and on the date of this Agreement
         the Registration Statement will conform, in all material respects with
         the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations of the
         Commission promulgated under the Act (the "Rules and Regulations"),
         and at such times did not include any untrue statement of a material
         fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein
         or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and (2) on
         the date of this Agreement, at the time of filing of the Prospectus
         pursuant to Rule 424(b) and at the Closing Date, the Prospectus will
         conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Act and
         the Rules and Regulations, and does not include and will not include
         any untrue statement of a material fact and does not omit and will not
         omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the
         statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
         were made, not misleading.  If the Effective Time is subsequent to the
         execution and delivery of this Agreement: (1) on the Effective Date,
         the Registration Statement and the Prospectus will conform in all
         material respects to the requirements of the Act and the Rules and
         Regulations and the Registration Statement will not include any untrue
         statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
         required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
         therein not misleading, (2) at the Effective Date and at the Closing
         Date the Prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a
         material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to
         make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under
         which they were made, not misleading, and (3) the Prospectus delivered
         to the Underwriters for use in connection with this offering was
         identical to the electronically transmitted copy thereof filed with
         the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and
         Retrieval system, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.
         The two immediately preceding sentences do not apply to statements in
         or omissions from the Registration Statement or Prospectus in reliance
         upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
         Seller by the Underwriters specifically for use therein.

                 (iii)    This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and
         delivered by the Seller.

         warranties of the Seller in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement will
         be true and correct and as of each Subsequent Transfer Date, the
         representations and warranties of the Seller in the Pooling and
         Servicing Agreement and in the related Transfer Agreement will be true

         delivered by Fleetwood Credit.

         representations and warranties of the Servicer in the Pooling and
         Servicing Agreement and in the related Transfer Agreement will be true
         and correct.

         3.      Purchase, Sale and Delivery of Certificates.  On the basis of
the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, but subject to
the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Seller agrees to sell to the
Underwriters, and the Underwriters, acting severally and not jointly, agree to
purchase from the Seller, the respective principal amounts of Class A

purchase price equal to, in the case of (i) the Class A Certificates,
__________% of the aggregate principal amount thereof and (ii) the Class B
Certificates, __________% of the aggregate principal amount thereof.

         The Seller will deliver the Certificates to the Underwriters against

Certificates will be represented by book entries on the records of DTC and
participating members thereof.  Definitive certificates evidencing the Class A
Certificates or the Class B Certificates will be available only under the
limited circumstances specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

         5.      Certain Agreements of the Seller and Fleetwood Credit.  Each
of the Seller and Fleetwood Credit, as the case may be, covenants and agrees
with each Underwriter that:

                 (a)      If the Effective Time is prior to the execution and
         delivery of this Agreement, the Seller will file the Prospectus with
         the Commission pursuant to and in accordance with subparagraph (1)
         (or, if applicable and if consented to by the Underwriters,
         subparagraph (4)) of Rule 424(b) not later than the earlier of (i) the
         second business day following the execution and delivery of this
         Agreement or (ii) the fifth business day after the Effective Date.
         The Seller will advise the Underwriters promptly of any such filing
         pursuant to Rule 424(b).

                 (b)      The Seller will advise the Underwriters promptly of
         any proposal to amend or supplement the registration statement as
         filed or the related prospectus or the Registration Statement or the
         Prospectus and will not effect any such amendment or supplement
         without the consent of the Underwriters, which consent will not
         unreasonably be withheld; and the Seller will also advise the
         Underwriters promptly of the effectiveness of the Registration
         Statement (if the Effective Time is subsequent to the execution and
         delivery of this Agreement) and of any amendment or supplement of the
         Registration Statement or the Prospectus and of the institution by the
         Commission of any stop order proceedings in respect of the
         Registration Statement and will use its best efforts to prevent the
         issuance of any such stop order and to obtain as soon as possible its
         lifting, if issued.

                 (c)      If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the
         Certificates is required to be delivered under the Act, any event
         occurs as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or
         supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material fact or
         omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the
         statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
         were made, not misleading, or if it is necessary at any time to amend
         or supplement the Prospectus to comply with the Act, the Seller
         promptly will prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed,
         with the Commission an amendment or supplement which will correct such
         statement or omission, or an amendment or supplement which will effect
         such compliance.  Neither the consent of the Underwriters to, nor the
         delivery by the Underwriters of, any such amendment or supplement
         shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions set forth in
         Section 6 hereof.

                 (d)      As soon as practicable, but not later than 16 months
         after the effective date of the Registration Statement, the Seller
         will cause the Trustee to make generally available to holders of the
         Certificates an earnings statement with respect to the Trust covering
         a period of at least 12 months beginning after the Effective Date
         which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act
         (including, at the option of the Seller, Rule 158 promulgated
         thereunder).

                 (e)      The Seller will furnish to the Underwriters copies of
         the Registration Statement (at least two of which will be signed and
         will include all exhibits), each related preliminary prospectus, the
         Prospectus and all amendments and supplements to





                                       5
<PAGE>   6
         such documents, in each case as soon as available and in such
         quantities as the Underwriters may reasonably request.

                 (f)      The Seller will arrange for the qualification of the
         Certificates for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions in the
         United States as the Underwriters may reasonably designate and will
         continue such qualifications in effect so long as required for the
         distribution of the Certificates, provided that the Seller shall not
         be obligated to qualify to do business nor become subject to service
         of process generally, but only to the extent required for such
         qualification, in any jurisdiction in which it is not currently so
         qualified.

                 (g)      For a period from the date of this Agreement until
         the retirement of all of the Certificates, or until such time as the
         Underwriters shall cease to maintain a secondary market in either
         Class of Certificates, whichever occurs first, the Seller will deliver
         to the Underwriters the annual statements of compliance and the annual
         independent certified public accountants' reports furnished to the
         Trustee pursuant to Article Thirteen of the Pooling and Servicing
         Agreement, as soon as such statements and reports are furnished to the
         Trustee.

                 (h)      So long as any of the Certificates are outstanding,
         the Seller or Fleetwood Credit, as the case may be, shall furnish to
         the Underwriters, as soon as practicable, (i) all documents required
         to be distributed to holders of either Class of Certificates (or
         available at such holders' request) or filed with the Commission
         pursuant to the Exchange Act, or any order of the Commission
         thereunder and (ii) from time to time, any other information
         concerning the Seller or Fleetwood Credit filed with any government or
         regulatory authority which is otherwise publicly available, as the
         Underwriters may reasonably request.

                 (i)      Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this
         Agreement are consummated, the Seller and Fleetwood Credit will,
         subject to the provisions of Section 8 hereof, pay all expenses
         incident to the performance of their respective obligations under this
         Agreement, including without limitation, expenses incident to the
         printing, reproduction and distribution of the registration statement
         as originally filed with the Commission and all amendments thereto,
         any fees charged by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's") and
         Standard & Poor's Ratings Services ("Standard & Poor's" and, together
         with Moody's, the "Rating Agencies") for the rating of the Class A
         Certificates and the Class B Certificates, the fees of DTC in
         connection with the book-entry registration of the Class A
         Certificates and the Class B Certificates and reasonable expenses
         incurred in distributing preliminary prospectuses and the Prospectus
         (including any amendments and supplements thereto) and will reimburse
         the Underwriters for all reasonable expenses incurred in connection
         with the initial qualification of the Certificates for sale under the
         laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Underwriters
         may designate, including, but not limited to, fees of counsel and
         disbursements incurred by such counsel in connection therewith.

                 (j)      On or before the Closing Date with respect to the
         Initial Receivables, and on or before each Subsequent Transfer Date
         with respect to the Subsequent Receivables to be transferred to the
         Trust on such date, the Seller and Fleetwood Credit shall cause their
         respective computer records to be marked relating to the Receivables
         to show the Trust's absolute ownership of the Receivables, and from
         and after the Closing Date or such Subsequent Transfer Date, as the
         case may be, Fleetwood Credit Receivables Corp., as Seller, and
         Fleetwood Credit, as Servicer, shall not take any action inconsistent
         with the Trust's ownership of the Receivables, other than as permitted
         by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
    

                 (k)      To the extent, if any, that the rating provided with
         respect to the Class A Certificates or the Class B Certificates by
         either Rating Agency is conditional upon the furnishing of documents
         or the taking of any other actions by the Seller or Fleetwood Credit,
         the Seller or Fleetwood Credit, as the case may be, shall furnish such
         documents and take any such other actions.

                 (l)      In the event the Servicer obtains a Servicer Letter
         of Credit pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Seller
         and the Servicer shall cause the Underwriters to receive:

                          (i)     A copy of the Servicer Letter of Credit.

                          (ii)    An original of the servicer letter of credit
                 reimbursement agreement (the "Reimbursement Agreement")
                 between the Servicer and the letter of credit bank named
                 therein (the "Letter of Credit Bank") pursuant to which the
                 Servicer Letter of Credit was issued.

                          (iii)   An original of any amendment to the Pooling
                 and Servicing Agreement relating to the obtaining of the

                 Vice President and Assistant General Counsel of Fleetwood

                 Credit (the "Issuance Date") and satisfactory in form and
                 substance to the Underwriters and counsel for the
                 Underwriters, and substantially to the effect of clauses (i),
                 (v), (viii), (ix) and (x) of Section 6(f) hereof,
                 appropriately modified to relate to the Reimbursement
                 Agreement.
    
                          (v)     An opinion of counsel to the Letter of Credit
                 Bank, satisfactory in form and substance to the Underwriters
                 and counsel for the Underwriters, dated the Issuance Date and
                 substantially to the effect that:

                                  (A)      The Letter of Credit Bank is duly
                          organized as a corporation and is validly existing
                          under the laws of the country of its organization,
                          and has the full power and authority (corporate and
                          other) to issue, and to take all action required of
                          it under, the Servicer Letter of Credit.

                                  (B)      The execution, delivery and
                          performance by the Letter of Credit Bank of the
                          Servicer Letter of Credit and the Reimbursement
                          Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary
                          corporate action on the part of the Letter of Credit
                          Bank.

                          performance by the Letter of Credit Bank of the
                          Servicer Letter of Credit and the Reimbursement

                          the taking of any other action in respect of any
                          state or other governmental agency or authority which
                          has not previously been effected.

                                  (D)      The Servicer Letter of Credit and
                          the Reimbursement Agreement have been duly
                          authorized, executed and delivered by the Letter of
                          Credit Bank and constitute legal, valid and binding

                          and other laws affecting creditors' rights generally
                          and to general equity principles).

                          required to be registered under the Act in connection

                 Letter of Credit Bank upon counsel satisfactory to the
                 Underwriters and counsel for the Underwriters.

                 the President or any Vice President of the Letter of Credit
                 Bank to the effect that, among other things, since the date of
                 this Agreement, there has been no material adverse change in
                 the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings,
                 business affairs or business prospects, of the Letter of
                 Credit Bank.

                 extent required by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to the
                 effect that the obtaining of the Servicer Letter of Credit, in
                 and of itself, would not cause its rating of either Class of
                 Certificates to be reduced, withdrawn or modified.

         6.      Conditions of the Obligations of the Underwriters.  The
obligation of the Underwriters to purchase and pay for the Certificates will be

                 therefor may be brought and (C) rights to indemnity and
                 contribution hereunder may be limited by federal or state
                 securities laws or the public policies underlying such laws.
   

                          (iv)    Each Basic Document has been and, assuming no
                 change in law or factual circumstance (as confirmed in the
                 Officer's Certificates to be delivered as of each Subsequent
                 Transfer Date), each Transfer Agreement will be, duly
                 authorized, executed and delivered by the Seller and
                 constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the
                 Seller, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except that
                 (A) the enforceability thereof may be subject to bankruptcy,
                 insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws
                 now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors' rights and
                 (B) the remedies of specific performance and injunctive and
                 other forms of equitable relief may be subject to equitable
                 defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any
                 proceeding therefor may be brought.

                          (v)     At the time of execution and delivery of the
                 Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Seller had the power and
                 authority to transfer the Initial Receivables and such other
                 property being transferred to the Trustee pursuant to the
                 Pooling and Servicing Agreement and to cause the Certificates
                 to be sold and transferred to the Underwriters.
    

                          (vi)    The Registration Statement has become
                 effective under the Act, and, to the best knowledge of such
                 counsel, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
                 Registration Statement has been issued and no proceedings for
                 that purpose have been instituted or are pending or
                 contemplated under the Act, and the Registration Statement and
                 the Prospectus, and each amendment or

                 supplement thereto, as of their respective effective or issue
                 dates, complied as to form in all material respects with the
                 requirements of the Act and the Rules and Regulations; such
                 counsel has no reason to believe that either the Registration
                 Statement, at the Effective Time, or any such amendment or
                 supplement, as of its effective date, contained any untrue
                 statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material
                 fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
                 statements therein not misleading, or that the Prospectus, at
                 the date of this Agreement, or any such amendment or
                 supplement, as of its respective date, or at the Closing Date,
                 included or includes an untrue statement of a material fact or
                 omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order
                 to make the statements therein, in the light of the
                 circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; it
                 being understood that such counsel need express no opinion as
                 to the financial statements or other financial or statistical
                 data contained in the Registration Statement or the
                 Prospectus.

                 Receivables or the Subsequent Receivables to the Trustee
                 acting on behalf of the Trust, nor the assignment of the
                 security interest of the Seller in the Financed Vehicles, nor
                 the issuance and delivery of the Certificates, nor the sale of
                 the Certificates, nor the execution and delivery of the Basic
                 Documents, this Agreement, or, assuming no change in law or
                 factual circumstance (as confirmed in the Officer's
                 Certificates to be delivered as of each Subsequent Transfer
                 Date), any Transfer Agreement, nor the consummation of any
                 other of the transactions contemplated herein or in the Basic
                 Documents or in any Transfer Agreement, or the fulfillment of
                 the terms of the Certificates, the Basic Documents or this
                 Agreement by the Seller will conflict with, or result in a
                 breach, violation or acceleration of, or constitute a default
                 under, any term or provision of the articles of incorporation
                 or bylaws of the Seller or, to the best knowledge of such
                 counsel, of any indenture or other agreement or instrument to
                 which the Seller is a party or by which it is bound or any of
                 its properties may be subject, or result in a violation of or
                 contravene the terms of any statute, order or regulation
                 applicable to the Seller of any court, regulatory body,
                 administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction
                 over the Seller or its properties.
    
                          (viii)  The Certificates have been duly and validly
                 authorized and, when executed, authenticated and delivered to
                 the Underwriters as specified in the Pooling and Servicing
                 Agreement against payment of the consideration therefor
                 determined in accordance with this Agreement, will be duly and
                 validly issued and outstanding and will be entitled to the
                 benefits of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
   
                          (ix)    The Seller has, and pursuant to the Pooling
                 and Servicing Agreement is transferring to the Trustee acting
                 on behalf of the Trust, ownership of the Initial Receivables,
                 in each case free and clear of any and all

                 other assignments, encumbrances, options, rights, claims,
                 liens or security interests that may affect the rights of the
                 Seller or the Trustee in and to such Receivables; provided,
                 however, that (A) such counsel need express no opinion with
                 respect to the enforceability of any individual Receivable or
                 the existence of any claims, rights or other matters that are
                 not of record in favor of the related Obligor or the owner of
                 the related Financed Vehicle, (B) such opinion may be limited
                 to the extent that any one or more of the Initial Receivables
                 could be subject to claims of creditors of the dealers that
                 may have originated certain of the Initial Receivables to the
                 extent such creditors can claim the benefits of a security
                 interest in such Receivables either by reason of the filing of
                 a financing statement with respect to chattel paper of such
                 dealer or as proceeds from the sale of inventory in which such
                 creditor had a security interest, (C) such opinion may be
                 further limited to the extent that any such transfer may be
                 subject to the rights of other persons who take, or have
                 taken, possession of any of the Initial Receivables without
                 knowledge of the transfer to the Trustee and (D) such counsel
                 need express no opinion as to the existence of tax liens,
                 mechanics' liens or other security interests and liens that
                 are not of record.

                          (x)     The Certificates, each Basic Document, the
                 form of Transfer Agreement attached as an exhibit to the
                 Pooling and Servicing Agreement and this Agreement each

                 contained in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.
    

                          (xi)    The statements in the Registration Statement
                 and Prospectus under the heading "Certain Legal Aspects of the
                 Receivables," to the extent that they constitute matters of
                 law or legal conclusions with respect thereto, have been
                 prepared or reviewed by such counsel and are correct in all
                 material respects.

                          (xii)   The Pooling and Servicing Agreement is not
                 required to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of
                 1939, as amended, and the Trust created by the Pooling and
                 Servicing Agreement is not required to be registered under the
                 Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

   
                          (xiii)  No consent, approval, authorization or order
                 of any court or governmental agency or body is required for
                 the consummation by the Seller of the transactions
                 contemplated in this Agreement, the Basic Documents or any
                 Transfer Agreement except such as may be required under

                          (xiv)   There are no actions, proceedings or
                 investigations pending or, to the best knowledge of such
                 counsel after due inquiry, threatened before any court,

                 (e)      The Underwriters shall have received an opinion of
         Timothy M. Hayes, Esq., Senior Vice President and Assistant General
         Counsel of Fleetwood Credit, or, insofar as such matters relate to
         California law, such other counsel acceptable to the Underwriters,
         addressed to the Underwriters, the Rating Agencies and the Trustee,
         dated the Closing Date and satisfactory in form and substance to the
         Underwriters and counsel for the Underwriters, and substantially to
         the effect that:

                          (i)     Fleetwood Credit has been duly incorporated
                 and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing
                 under the laws of the State of California with full power and
                 authority (corporate and other), and has obtained all
                 necessary licenses and approvals, to own its properties and

                 Documents, this Agreement and the Certificates and, assuming
                 no change in law or factual circumstance (as confirmed in the
                 Officer's Certificates to be delivered as of each Subsequent
                 Transfer Date), any Transfer Agreement, and had at all
                 relevant times, now has, and on each Subsequent Transfer Date
                 will have, the power, authority and legal right to acquire,

                          (ii)    Fleetwood Credit is duly qualified to do
                 business and in good standing, and has obtained all necessary
                 licenses and approvals to conduct its  business as presently
                 conducted in California and each other state in which an
                 Initial Receivable was originated.

                          (iii)   At the time of the execution and delivery of
                 the Receivables Purchase Agreement, Fleetwood Credit had the
                 power and authority to transfer to the Seller the Initial

                 to the Seller.

                          (iv)    Neither the transfer of the Initial
                 Receivables or the Subsequent Receivables to the Seller, nor
                 the assignment of the security interest of

                 Fleetwood Credit in the Financed Vehicles, nor the issuance
                 and delivery of the Certificates, nor the sale of the
                 Certificates to the Underwriters, nor the execution and
                 delivery of the Basic Documents, this Agreement or, assuming
                 no change in law or factual circumstance (as confirmed in the
                 Officer's Certificates to be delivered as of each Subsequent
                 Transfer Date), any Transfer Agreement, nor the consummation
                 of any other of the transactions contemplated herein, in the
                 Basic Documents or any Transfer Agreement, nor the fulfillment
                 of the terms of the Certificates, the Basic Documents, this
                 Agreement or the Transfer Agreement by Fleetwood Credit will
                 conflict with, or result in a breach, violation or
                 acceleration of, or constitute a default under, any term or
                 provision of the articles of incorporation or bylaws of
                 Fleetwood Credit or, to the best knowledge of such counsel, of
                 any indenture or other agreement or instrument to which
                 Fleetwood Credit is a party or by which it is bound or any of
                 its properties may be subject, or result in a violation of, or

                 the Seller, ownership of the Initial Receivables and, assuming
                 no change in law or factual circumstance and the performance
                 of certain specified procedures (as confirmed in the Officer's
                 Certificates to be delivered as of each Subsequent Transfer
                 Date), will transfer to the Seller ownership of the Subsequent
                 Receivables, in each case, free and clear of any and all other
                 assignments, encumbrances, options, rights, claims, liens or
                 security interests that may affect the rights of Fleetwood
                 Credit or the Seller in and to such Receivables; provided,
                 however, that (A) such counsel need express no opinion with
                 respect to the enforceability of any individual Receivable or
                 the existence of any claims, rights or other matters that are
                 not of record in favor of the related Obligor or the owner of
                 the related Financed Vehicle, (B) such opinion may be limited
                 to the extent that any one or more of the Receivables could be
                 subject to claims of creditors of the dealers that may have
                 originated certain of the Receivables to the extent such
                 creditors can claim the benefits of a security interest in
                 such Receivables either by reason of the filing of a financing
                 statement with respect to chattel paper of such dealer or as
                 proceeds from the sale of inventory in which such creditor had
                 a security interest, (C) such opinion may be further limited
                 to the extent that any such transfer may be subject to the
                 rights of other persons who take, or have taken, possession of
                 any of the Receivables without knowledge of the transfer to
                 the Seller and (D) such counsel need express no opinion as to
                 the existence of tax liens, mechanics' liens or other security
                 interests and liens that are not of record.

                 executed and delivered by Fleetwood Credit and constitutes the
                 legal, valid and binding agreement of Fleetwood Credit,
                 enforceable in accordance with its terms, except that (A) the
                 enforceability thereof may be subject to bankruptcy,

                 now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors' rights, (B)
                 the remedies of specific performance and injunctive and other
                 forms of equitable relief may be subject to equitable defenses
                 and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding
                 therefor may be brought and (C) rights to indemnity and
                 contribution thereunder may be limited by federal or state
                 securities laws or the public policies underlying such laws.

                 change in law or factual circumstance and the performance of
                 certain specified procedures (as confirmed in the Officer's
                 Certificates to be delivered as of each Subsequent Transfer
                 Date), the related Transfer Agreement will be duly authorized,

                 (g)      The Underwriters shall have received an opinion of
         Arter & Hadden, special income tax counsel to the Seller, dated the
         Closing Date and satisfactory in form and substance to the

         Federal Income Tax Considerations" and "ERISA Considerations," to the
         extent that they constitute matters of law or legal conclusions with
         respect thereto, have been prepared or reviewed by such counsel and
         are correct in all material respects.

                 Vehicle created by a Receivable originated in California
                 (each, a "California Receivable"), notwithstanding that each
                 such California Receivable may not be stamped to reflect its
                 transfer to the Trustee, nor will the certificate of ownership
                 be so stamped or re-registered to reflect the transfer of the
                 California Receivable to the Trustee, the Trustee will have a
                 perfected security interest in each such Financed Vehicle
                 which will be prior in right to any other security interest in
                 a Financed Vehicle that is or would be perfected solely by
                 notation of such security interest on the certificate of
                 ownership for the Financed Vehicle, and no filing or other
                 action is necessary to perfect or continue the priority status
                 of such security interest as against creditors of or
                 transferees from the Obligor under such California Receivable
                 or the Trustee, so long as such Financed Vehicle is not
                 removed from the State of California for a period longer than
                 four months or before the end of such four-month period, such
                 security interest is duly perfected under applicable law.

                          (iv)    Assuming the validity, binding effect and
                 enforceability in all other respects, the preprinted parts of
                 the California Receivables are in sufficient compliance with
                 federal and California consumer protection laws so as not to
                 be rendered void or voidable at the election of the related
                 Obligor.
   
                          (v)     The Trust will not be classified as an
                 association taxable as a corporation for California income tax

                 (each, a "Oregon Receivable"), notwithstanding that each such
                 Oregon Receivable may not be stamped to reflect its transfer
                 to the Trustee, nor will the certificate of ownership be so
                 stamped or re-registered to reflect the transfer of the Oregon
                 Receivable to the Trustee, the Trustee will have a perfected
                 security interest in each such Financed Vehicle which will be
                 prior in right to any other security interest in a Financed
                 Vehicle that is or would be perfected solely by notation of
                 such security interest on the certificate of ownership for the

                 interest as against creditors of or transferees from the

                 as such Financed Vehicle is not removed from the State of
                 Oregon for a period longer than four months or before the end
                 of such four-month period, such security interest is duly

                 and correctly completed as required by applicable law,
                 constitutes the valid, legal and binding obligation of the
                 Obligor as to each such Oregon Receivable enforceable against
                 each such Obligor in accordance with its terms, subject to

                 the enforcement of remedies is reasonably necessary to protect
                 the interests of the parties.

                          (iv)    Assuming the validity, binding effect and
                 enforceability in all other respects, the preprinted parts of

                 and authority (corporate and other) to own its properties and
                 conduct its business, as presently conducted by it, and to
                 enter into and perform its obligations under the Pooling and
                 Servicing Agreement and, assuming no change in law or factual
                 circumstance, will have such power and authority to enter into
                 and to perform its obligations under each Transfer Agreement.

                 and binding obligation of the Trustee, enforceable in
                 accordance with its terms, except that (A) the enforceability
                 thereof may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency,
                 reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or
                 hereafter in effect relating to creditors' rights and (B) the
                 remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms
                 of equitable relief may be subject to equitable defenses and
                 to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding
                 therefor may be brought.
    
                          (iii)   The Certificates have been duly executed,

                 Trustee of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and each
                 Transfer Agreement, nor the consummation of any of the
                 transactions by the Trustee contemplated thereby, require the
                 consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the

          7.     Indemnification.

         (a)     Each of the Seller and Fleetwood Credit agrees, jointly and
severally, to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter and each person, if
any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act
as follows:

                 (i)      against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage
         and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue
         statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
         the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the
         information deemed to be part of the Registration Statement pursuant
         to Rule 430A(b) of the Rules and Regulations, if applicable, or the
         omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to
         be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
         misleading or arising out of any untrue
    





                                       19
<PAGE>   20
   
         statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
         any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or
         supplement thereto) or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a
         material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in
         the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
         misleading;

                 (ii)     against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage
         and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate
         amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or
         proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or
         threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue
         statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or
         omission, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of
         the Seller and Fleetwood Credit; and

                 (iii)    against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred
         (including, subject to Section 7(c) hereof, the fees and disbursements
         of counsel chosen by the Underwriters), reasonably incurred in
         investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any
         investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body,
         commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such
         untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or
         omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under clause
         (i) or (ii) above;

provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss,
liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue
statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Seller by the
Underwriters expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment
thereto) or any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or
supplement thereto).

         (b)     Each Underwriter severally agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Seller and Fleetwood Credit, each of their respective directors,
each of their respective officers who signed the Registration Statement, and
each person, if any, who controls either the Seller or Fleetwood Credit within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Act against any and all loss, liability,
claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in subsection
(a) of this Section, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or
omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration
Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any preliminary prospectus or the
Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Seller by the Underwriters
expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or
such preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement
thereto).

         (c)     Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as
reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced
against it with respect to which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure
to so notify an indemnifying party
    





                                       20
<PAGE>   21
   
shall not relieve such indemnified party from any liability which it may have
other than on account of this indemnity agreement.  An indemnifying party may
participate at its own expense in the defense of such action.  In no event
shall the indemnifying parties be liable for the fees and expenses of more than
one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel
for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but
similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same
general allegations or circumstances.

         8.      Contribution.  In order to provide for just and equitable
contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in
Section 7 hereof is for any reason held to be unenforceable by the indemnified
parties although applicable in accordance with its terms, the Seller, Fleetwood
Credit and the Underwriters shall contribute to the aggregate losses,
liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by said
indemnity agreement incurred by the Seller, Fleetwood Credit and the
Underwriters, as incurred, in such proportions that the Underwriters are
responsible for that portion represented by the percentage that the aggregate
underwriting discounts appearing on the cover page of the Prospectus bears to
the aggregate initial public offering prices of the Certificates appearing
thereon and the Seller and Fleetwood Credit are responsible for the balance.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, no Underwriter shall be
required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total
price at which the Certificates underwritten by it and distributed to the
public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such
Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any such untrue or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission and no person guilty
of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of
such fraudulent misrepresentation.  For purposes of this Section, each person,
if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act
shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each
director of the Seller and Fleetwood Credit, each officer of the Seller who
signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls either
the Seller or Fleetwood Credit within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act
shall have the same rights to contribution as the Seller or Fleetwood Credit,
as the case may be.

         9.      Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations.  The
respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other
statements of the Seller and Fleetwood Credit or their respective officers and
of the Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain
in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation or statement as to
the results thereof, made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, the Seller,
Fleetwood Credit or any of their respective representatives, officers or
directors or any controlling person, and will survive delivery of and payment
for the Certificates.  If for any reason the purchase of the Certificates by
the Underwriters is not consummated, the Seller and Fleetwood Credit shall
remain responsible for the expenses to be paid or reimbursed by the Seller and
Fleetwood Credit pursuant to Section 5(i) hereof and the respective obligations
of the Seller, Fleetwood Credit and the Underwriters pursuant to Section 7
hereof shall remain in effect.  The indemnification and contribution agreements
contained in Section 7 hereof shall survive the termination and cancellation of
this Agreement.  If for any reason (other than
    





                                       21
<PAGE>   22
   
solely by reason of the termination of this Agreement because of a failure to
satisfy the conditions set forth in items (iii), (iv) or (v) of Section 9
hereof), the purchase of the Certificates by the Underwriters is not
consummated, the Seller and Fleetwood Credit will reimburse the Underwriters
for all out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel)
reasonably incurred by them in connection with the offering of the
Certificates.

         10.     Termination of Agreement.   The Underwriters may terminate
this Agreement, by notice to the Seller and Fleetwood Credit, at any time prior
to or at the Closing Date (i) if there has been, since the date of this
Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the
Registration Statement, any material adverse change in the condition, financial
or otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the
Seller or Fleetwood Credit, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of
business; (ii) if there has occurred any downgrading in the rating of the debt
securities of the Seller or Fleetwood Credit by any "nationally recognized
statistical rating organization" (as such term is defined for purposes of Rule
436(g) under the Act), or any public announcement that any such organization
has under surveillance or review its rating of any debt securities of the
Seller or Fleetwood Credit (other than an announcement with positive
implications of a possible upgrading, and no implication of a possible
downgrading, of such rating); (iii) if there has occurred any material adverse
change in the financial markets in the United States or any outbreak of
hostilities or other calamity or crisis, the effect of which is such as to make
it, in the judgment of the Underwriters, impracticable to market the
Certificates or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Certificates; (iv) if
trading generally on either the American Stock Exchange or the New York Stock
Exchange has been suspended, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been
fixed, or maximum ranges for prices for securities have been required, by
either of said Exchanges or by order of the Commission or any other
governmental authority; or (v) if a banking moratorium has been declared by
federal, New York or California authorities.

         11.     Default By an Underwriter.  If one of the Underwriters shall
fail at the Closing Date to purchase the Certificates which it is obligated to
purchase under this Agreement (the "Defaulted Securities"), the Representative
shall have the right, but not the obligation, within 24 hours thereafter, to
make arrangements for the non-defaulting Underwriter, or any other underwriter,
to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted Securities in such
amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms herein set forth; if, however,
the Representative shall not have completed such arrangements within such
24-hour period, then:
    
                 (a)      if the aggregate principal amount of Defaulted
         Securities does not exceed 10% of the total aggregate principal amount
         of the Certificates, the non-defaulting Underwriter shall be obligated
         to purchase the full amount thereof, or

                 (b)      if the aggregate principal amount of Defaulted
         Securities exceeds 10% of the total aggregate principal amount of the
         Certificates, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the
         part of the non- defaulting Underwriter.

         No action pursuant to this Section shall relieve any defaulting
Underwriter from liability in respect of its default.





                                       22
<PAGE>   23
         In the event of any such default which does not result in a
termination of this Agreement, either the Representative or the Seller shall
have the right to postpone the Closing Date for a period not exceeding seven
days in order to effect any required changes in the Registration Statement or
Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangement.

subordinated to the Class A Certificates to the extent described in the
Agreement.  The Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates are herein
collectively called the "Certificates".  The aggregate undivided interest in
the Trust evidenced by all Class A Certificates is _____%.  This Class A
Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Class A
Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder
is bound.  The property of the Trust includes, or will include, among other

Vehicles, the Initial Receivables or the related Obligors, an assignment of the

certain payments due thereunder on and after the related Subsequent Cutoff
Dates (exclusive of Accrued Interest as of the opening of business on such
dates), security interests in the related Subsequent Financed Vehicles,
property (including the right to receive certain Liquidation Proceeds) securing
the Subsequent Receivables and held by the Trustee, proceeds from claims on

and the right of the Seller to receive the proceeds from Dealer repurchase
obligations relating to the Subsequent Receivables, will be included as
property of the Trust.  If certain amounts remain on deposit in the Pre-Funding
Account at the end of the Funding Period, such amounts will be distributable as
a mandatory prepayment of principal to Certificateholders as described in the
Agreement.

         Under the Agreement, there will be distributed on the fifteenth day of
each month or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business
Day (each, a "Distribution Date"), commencing on __________ 15, 1997, to the
Person in whose name this Class A Certificate is registered at the close of
business on the day immediately preceding such distribution or, if Definitive
Certificates are issued, at the close of business on the last day of the
immediately preceding calendar month (the "Record Date"), such Class A
Certificateholder's percentage interest in the Class A Distributable Amount for
such Distribution Date actually distributed, together with the repayment of any
outstanding Class A Interest Carryover Shortfall and Class A Principal
Carryover Shortfall actually made on such Distribution Date, in each case to
the extent and as more specifically set forth in the Agreement.

         Distributions on this Class A Certificate will be made by the Trustee
by check or money order mailed to the related Class A Certificateholder of
record in the Certificate Register without the presentation or surrender of
this Class A Certificate or the making of any notation hereon, except that with
respect to Class A Certificates registered in the name of Cede & Co., the
nominee for The Depository Trust Company, distributions will be made in the
form of immediately available funds.  Except as otherwise provided in the
Agreement and notwithstanding the foregoing, the final distribution on this
Class A Certificate will be made after due notice by the Trustee of the
pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this
Class A Certificate at the office or agency maintained for that purpose by the
Trustee.

         The Certificates do not represent an obligation of, or an interest in,
the Seller, the Servicer or any of their respective affiliates.  The
Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries respecting the Receivables and monies on deposit in the Reserve
Fund, all as more specifically set forth in the Agreement.  A copy of the
Agreement may be examined during normal business hours at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Trustee, and at such other places, if any, designated by the
Trustee, by any Certificateholder upon request.

         The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
parties thereto and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at
any time by the Seller, the Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the
Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 51% of the Voting Interests of
all Certificates, voting together as a single class.  Any such consent by the
Holder of this Class A Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such
Holder and on all future Holders of this Class A Certificate and of any Class A
Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu
hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Class A
Certificate.  The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain
limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the
Certificates.

         As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the transfer of this Class A Certificate is registrable in
the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Class A Certificate for
registration of transfer at the offices or agencies maintained by the Trustee
in its capacity as Certificate Registrar, or by any successor Certificate
Registrar, in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder's
attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Class A
Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate interest
in the Trust will be issued to the designated transferee.

         The Class A Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates
without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof.  As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
Class A Certificates are exchangeable for new Class A Certificates of
authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate denomination, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same.  No service charge will be





                                      A-3
<PAGE>   19
made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Trustee may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charges
payable in connection therewith.

         Prior to due presentation of this Class A Certificate for registration
of transfer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and any of their respective
agents may treat the Person in whose name this Class A Certificate is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.

   
         The obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement and the
Trust created thereby shall terminate upon the payment to Certificateholders of
all amounts required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement or the
maturity or liquidation of the last Receivable and the disposition of all
property held as part of the Trust.  The Seller or the Servicer, or any
successor to the Servicer, may, at its option, purchase the corpus of the Trust
at a price specified in the Agreement, and such purchase of the Receivables and
other property of the Trust will effect early retirement of the Certificates;
however, such right of purchase is exercisable only following the last day of a
Collection Period as of which the Pool Balance is 10% or less of the sum of the
Original Pool Balance and the aggregate principal balance of all Subsequent
Receivables conveyed to the Trust as of the related Subsequent Cutoff Dates.
If no such entity exercises its optional termination right within 90 days after
the last day of the Collection Period as of which such right can first be
exercised, the Trustee shall solicit bids for the purchase of all Receivables
and other property remaining in the Trust and such sale of the Receivables and
other property of the Trust will effect early retirement of the Certificates.
    

         Unless the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been
executed by an authorized officer of the Trustee, by manual signature, this
Class A Certificate shall not entitle the Holder hereof to any benefit under
the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust and not in its
individual capacity, has caused this Class A Certificate to be duly executed.

Day (each, a "Distribution Date"), commencing on __________ 15, 1997, to the
Person in whose name this Class A Certificate is registered at the close of
business on the day immediately preceding such distribution or, if Definitive
Certificates are issued, at the close of business on the last day of the
immediately preceding calendar month (the "Record Date"), such Class B
Certificateholder's percentage interest in the Class B Distributable Amount for
such

Distribution Date actually distributed, together with the repayment of any
outstanding Class B Interest Carryover Shortfall and Class B Principal
Carryover Shortfall actually made on such Distribution Date, in each case to
the extent and as more specifically set forth in the Agreement.

         Distributions on this Class B Certificate will be made by the Trustee
by check or money order mailed to the related Class B Certificateholder of
record in the Certificate Register without the presentation or surrender of
this Class B Certificate or the making of any notation hereon, except that with
respect to Class B Certificates registered in the name of Cede & Co., the
nominee for The Depository Trust Company, distributions will be made in the
form of immediately available funds.  Except as otherwise provided in the
Agreement and notwithstanding the foregoing, the final distribution on this
Class B Certificate will be made after due notice by the Trustee of the
pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this
Class B Certificate at the office or agency maintained for that purpose by the
Trustee.

         The Certificates do not represent an obligation of, or an interest in,
the Seller, the Servicer or any of their respective affiliates.  The
Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries respecting the Receivables and monies on deposit in the Reserve
Fund, all as more specifically set forth in the Agreement.  A copy of the
Agreement may be examined during normal business hours at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Trustee, and at such other places, if any, designated by the
Trustee, by any Certificateholder upon request.

         The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
parties thereto and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at
any time by the Seller, the Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the
Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 51% of the Voting Interests of
all Certificates, voting together as a single class.  Any such consent by the
Holder of this Class B Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such
Holder and on all future Holders of this Class B Certificate and of any Class B
Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu
hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Class B
Certificate.  The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain
limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the
Certificates.

         As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the transfer of this Class B Certificate is registrable in
the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Class B Certificate for
registration of transfer at the offices or agencies maintained by the Trustee
in its capacity as Certificate Registrar, or by any successor Certificate
Registrar, in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder's
attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Class B
Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate interest
in the Trust will be issued to the designated transferee.





                                      B-3
<PAGE>   25
         The Class B Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates
without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof.  As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
Class B Certificates are exchangeable for new Class B Certificates of
authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate denomination, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same.  No service charge will be made
for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Trustee may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charges payable in
connection therewith.

         Prior to due presentation of this Class B Certificate for registration
of transfer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and any of their respective
agents may treat the Person in whose name this Class B Certificate is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.

   
         The obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement and the
Trust created thereby shall terminate upon the payment to Certificateholders of
all amounts required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement or the
maturity or liquidation of the last Receivable and the disposition of all
property held as part of the Trust.  The Seller or the Servicer, or any
successor to the Servicer, may, at its option, purchase the corpus of the Trust
at a price specified in the Agreement, and such purchase of the Receivables and
other property of the Trust will effect early retirement of the Certificates;
however, such right of purchase is exercisable only the last day of a
Collection Period as of which the Pool Balance is 10% or less of the sum of the
Original Pool Balance and the aggregate principal balance of all Subsequent
Receivables conveyed to the Trust as of the related Subsequent Cutoff Dates.
If neither the Seller nor the Servicer exercises its optional termination right
within 90 days after the last day of the Collection Period as of which such
right can first be exercised, the Trustee shall solicit bids for the purchase
of all Receivables and other property remaining in the Trust and such sale of
the Receivables and other property of the Trust will effect early retirement of
the Certificates.
    

         Unless the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been
executed by an authorized officer of the Trustee, by manual signature, this
Class B Certificate shall not entitle the Holder hereof to any benefit under
the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

                               AUCTION PROCEDURES


   
   The following sets forth the auction procedures (the "Auction Procedures")
to be followed in connection with a sale effected pursuant to Section 21.03 of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of September 1, 1997 (the
"Agreement"), among Fleetwood Credit Receivables Corp., as Seller, Fleetwood
Credit Corp., as Servicer, and The Chase Manhattan Bank, as Trustee.
Capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined shall have the
meanings described thereto in the Agreement.
    

I. Pre-Auction Process

   (a)  Upon receiving notice of the Auction Date, the Advisor will initiate
        its general Auction procedures consisting of the following:  (i) with
        the assistance of the Servicer, prepare a general solicitation package
        along with a confidentiality agreement; (ii) derive a list of qualified
        bidders, in a commercially reasonable manner; (iii) initiate contact
        with all qualified bidders; (iv) send a confidentiality agreement to
        all qualified bidders; (v) upon receipt of a signed confidentiality
        agreement, send solicitation packages to all interested bidders on
        behalf of the Trustee; and (vi) notify the Servicer of all potential
        bidders and anticipated timetable.

   (b)  The general solicitation package will include:  (i) the prospectus from
        the public offering of the Certificates; (ii) a copy of all monthly
        servicing reports or a copy of all annual servicing reports and the
        prior year's monthly servicing reports; (iii) a form of a Purchase and
        Sale Agreement and Servicing Agreement; (iv) a description of the
        minimum purchase price required to cause the Trustee to sell the
        Auction Property as set forth in Section 21.03 of the Agreement; (v) a
        formal bidsheet; (vi) a detailed timetable; and (vii) a preliminary
        data tape of the Pool Balance as of the related Distribution Date
        reflecting the same data attributes used to create the Cutoff Date
        tables for the prospectus dated __________, 1997 relating to the public
        offering of the Certificates.

   (c)  The Trustee, with the assistance of the Servicer and the Advisor, will
        maintain an auction package beginning at the time of closing of the
        transaction, which will contain terms (i) through (iii) listed in the
        preceding paragraph.  If the Advisor is unable to perform its role as
        advisor to the Trustee, the Servicer acting in its capacity under the
        Agreement will select a successor Advisor and inform the Trustee of its
        actions.

   (d)  The Advisor will send solicitation packages to all bidders at least 15
        Business Days before the Auction Date.  Bidders will be required to
        submit any due diligence questions in writing to the Advisor for
        determination of their relevancy, no later than ten Business Days
        before the Auction Date.  The Servicer and the Advisor will be





                                      D-1
<PAGE>   34
   required to satisfy all relevant questions at least five Business Days prior
   to the Auction Date and distribute the questions and answers to all bidders.

II.     Auction Process

   
   (a)  Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and/or Salomon
        Brothers Inc (the "Underwriters"), in their roles as Advisor to the
        Trustee, will be allowed to bid in the Auction, but will not be
        required to do so.
    

   (b)  The Servicer will also be allowed to bid in the Auction if it deems
        appropriate, but will not be required to do so.

   (c)  On the Auction Date, all bids will be due by facsimile to the offices
        of the Trustee by 1:00 p.m., New York City time, with the winning
        bidder to be notified by 2:00 p.m., New York City time.  All acceptable
        bids (as described in Section 21.03 of the Agreement) will be due on a
        conforming basis on the bid sheet contained in the solicitation
        package.

   (d)  If the Trustee receives fewer than two market value bids from
        participants in the market for motor vehicle retail installment sale
        contracts willing and able to purchase the Auction Property, the
        Trustee shall decline to consummate the sale.

   (e)  Upon notification to the winning bidder, a good faith deposit equal to
        1% of the Pool Balance will be required to be wired to the Trustee upon
        acceptance of the bid.  This deposit, along with any interest income
        attributable to it, will be credited to the purchase price but will not
        be refundable.  The Trustee will establish a separate account for the
        acceptance of the good faith deposit, until such time as the account is
        fully funded and all monies are transferred into the Certificate
        Account, such time not to exceed one Business Day before the related
        Distribution Date (as described above).

   (f)  The winning bidder will receive on the Auction Date a copy of the draft
        Purchase and Sale Agreement, Servicing Agreement and Servicer's
        Representations and Warranties (which shall be substantially identical
        to the representations and warranties set forth in Section 18.01 of the
        Agreement).

   (g)  Either Underwriter, in its capacity as Advisor to the Trustee, will
        provide to the Trustee a letter concluding whether or not the winning
        bid is a fair market value bid.  Such Underwriter will also provide
        this letter if it is the winning bidder.  In the case where such
        Underwriter or the Servicer is the winning bidder it will in its letter
        provide for market comparables and valuations.

   (h)  The Auction will stipulate that the Servicer be retained to service the
        Receivables sold pursuant to the terms of the Purchase and Sale
        Agreement and Servicing Agreement.

         with its terms, except as enforceability may be subject to or limited
         by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation and other
         similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights in general
         and by general principles of equity, regardless of whether such
         enforceability shall be considered in a proceeding in equity or at
         law.

                   (v)    No Government Obligor.  None of the Receivables shall
         be due from the United States or any state or local government thereof
         or from any agency, department or instrumentality of the United States
         or any state or local government.

                  (vi)    Security Interest in Financed Vehicle.  Immediately
         prior to the sale, assignment and transfer thereof, each Receivable
         shall be secured by a validly perfected first security interest in the
         related Financed Vehicle in favor of Fleetwood Credit as secured party
         or all necessary and appropriate action with respect to such
         Receivable shall have been taken to perfect a first priority security
         interest in such Financed Vehicle in favor of Fleetwood Credit as
         secured party.

                 (vii)    Receivables in Force.  No Receivable shall have been
         satisfied, subordinated or rescinded, nor shall any Financed Vehicle
         have been released from the lien granted by the related Receivable in
         whole or in part.

                (viii)    No Waiver.  No provision of a Receivable shall have
         been waived in such a manner that such Receivable fails to meet all of
         the other representations and warranties made by the Seller herein
         with respect thereto.

                  (ix)    No Amendments.  No Receivable shall have been amended
         in such a manner that such Receivable fails to meet all of the other
         representations and warranties made by the Seller herein with respect
         thereto.

                   (x)    No Defenses.  No facts shall be known to the Seller
         which would give rise to any right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim
         or defense, nor shall the same have been asserted or threatened, with
         respect to any Receivable.

                  (xi)    No Liens.  To the knowledge of the Seller, no Liens
         shall have been filed, including Liens for work, labor or materials
         relating to a Financed Vehicle, that shall be prior to, or equal or
         coordinate with, the security interest in such Financed Vehicle
         granted by the related Receivable.





                                        18

                 (xii)    No Default.  Except for payment defaults continuing
         for a period of not more than 30 days as of the Initial Cutoff Date or
         the related Subsequent Cutoff Date, as the case may be, no default,
         breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under the terms of
         any Receivable shall have occurred; no continuing condition that with
         notice or the lapse of time would constitute a default, breach,
         violation or event permitting acceleration under the terms of any
         Receivable shall have arisen; and the Seller shall not have waived any
         of the foregoing.
    

                (xiii)    Insurance.  Fleetwood Credit, in accordance with its
         customary servicing procedures, shall have determined that each
         Obligor has obtained physical damage insurance covering the related
         Financed Vehicle.

                 (xiv)    Good Title.  It is the intention of the Seller that
         the transfer and assignment herein contemplated, taken as a whole,
         constitute a sale of the Receivables from the Seller to the Trust and
         that the beneficial interest in and title to the Receivables not be
         part of the debtor's estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy
         petition by or against the Seller under any bankruptcy law.  No
         Receivable has been sold, transferred, assigned or pledged by the
         Seller to any Person other than the Trustee, and no provision of a
         Receivable shall have been waived, except as provided in clause (viii)
         above; immediately prior to the transfer and assignment herein
         contemplated, the Seller had good and marketable title to each
         Receivable free and clear of all Liens and rights of others;
         immediately upon the transfer and assignment thereof, the Trustee, for
         the benefit of the Certificateholders, shall have good and marketable
         title to each Receivable, free and clear of all Liens and rights of
         others; and the transfer and assignment herein contemplated has been
         perfected under the UCC.

   
                  (xv)    Lawful Assignment.  No Receivable shall have been
         originated in, or shall be subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction
         under which the sale, transfer and assignment of such Receivable under
         the Agreement or any Transfer Agreement or pursuant to transfers of
         the Certificates shall be unlawful, void or voidable.
    

                 (xvi)    All Filings Made.  All filings (including UCC
         filings) necessary in any jurisdiction to give the Trustee a first
         perfected ownership interest in the Receivables shall have been made.

                (xvii)    One Original.  There shall be only one original
         executed copy of each Receivable.

   
               (xviii)    Agreement/Transfer Agreement.  The additional
         representations and warranties as to the Receivables in the Agreement
         or in the related Transfer Agreement, as the case may be, shall be
         true and correct.
    

         Section 12.02.  Repurchase Upon Breach.  The Seller, the Servicer or
the Trustee, as the case may be, shall inform the other parties promptly, in
writing, upon the discovery of any breach of the Seller's representations and
warranties set forth in Article Seven of the





                                        19
<PAGE>   26
   
Agreement or Section 12.01 hereof or in any Transfer Agreement which materially
and adversely affects any Receivable.  Unless the breach shall have been cured
by the second Record Date following the discovery (or, at the Seller's option,
the first Record Date following the discovery), the Seller shall repurchase any
Receivable materially and adversely affected by the breach, as of such Record
Date.  If necessary, the Seller shall enforce the obligation of Fleetwood
Credit under the Receivables Purchase Agreement to repurchase such Receivable
from the Seller.  In consideration of the purchase of any such Receivable, the
Seller shall remit the Repurchase Amount of such Receivable (less the amount of
any Liquidation Proceeds with respect to such Receivable deposited, or to be
deposited, by the Servicer in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section
13.03) to the Certificate Account in the manner specified in Section
14.06(a)(i).  In the event that, as of the date of execution and delivery of
the Agreement, any Liens shall have been filed, including Liens for work, labor
or materials relating to a Financed Vehicle, that shall be prior to, or equal
or coordinate with, the lien granted by the related Receivable (whether or not
the Seller has knowledge thereof), and such breach materially and adversely
affects the interests of the Trust in such Receivable, the Seller shall
repurchase such Receivable on the terms and in the manner specified above.  The
sole remedy of the Trustee, the Trust or the Certificateholders with respect to
a breach of the Seller's representations and warranties set forth in Article
Seven of the Agreement or Section 12.01 hereof or in any Transfer Agreement or
with respect to the existence of any such Liens shall be to require the Seller
to repurchase Receivables pursuant to this Section and to enforce Fleetwood
Credit's obligation to the Seller to repurchase such Receivables from the
Seller pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement.
    

         Section 12.03.  Conveyance of Receivables.  The Seller, pursuant to
the mutually agreed upon terms contained in the Agreement, shall sell,
transfer, assign and otherwise convey to the Trustee, without recourse (but
subject to the Seller's obligations in the Agreement), all of its right, title
and interest in and to the Receivables and any proceeds related thereto,
including any other items as shall be specified in the Agreement.  It is the
intention of the Seller and the Certificateholders (as evidenced by the
acceptance of their Certificates) that the transfer and assignment contemplated
by the Agreement shall constitute a sale of the Receivables from the Seller to
the Trust and the beneficial interest in and title to the Receivables shall not
be part of the Seller's estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy
petition by or against the Seller under any bankruptcy law.  The Seller agrees
to execute and file all filings (including filings under the UCC) necessary in
any jurisdiction to provide third parties with notice of the sale of the
Receivables and to perfect such sale under the UCC.

         In the event the transfer and assignment contemplated by the Agreement
is deemed to be other than a sale, the parties intend that all filings
described in the foregoing paragraph shall give the Trustee on behalf of the
Trust a first priority perfected security interest in, to and under the related
Receivables, and other property conveyed hereunder and all proceeds of any of
the foregoing.  The Agreement shall be deemed to be the grant of a security
interest from the Seller to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, and the Trustee
on behalf of the Trust shall have all the rights, powers and privileges of a
secured party under the UCC.  In such event, the Seller agrees to take such
action and execute such documents as the Trustee shall request in order fully
to realize the benefits of such secured party status, including, without





                                        20
<PAGE>   27
limitation, powers of attorneys, financing statements, notices of lien or other
instruments or documents.

   
         Section 12.04.  Custody of Receivable Files.  To assure uniform
quality in servicing the Receivables and to reduce administrative costs, the
Trustee, upon the execution and delivery of the Agreement, revocably appoints
the Servicer, and the Servicer accepts such appointment, to act as the agent of
the Trustee as custodian of the following documents or instruments which are
hereby constructively delivered to the Trustee with respect to each Receivable
on or prior to the Closing Date and each Subsequent Receivable on or prior to
the related Subsequent Transfer Date:
    

                   (i)    the original of the Receivable;

                  (ii)    all documents evidencing the existence of physical
         damage insurance covering the related Financed Vehicle;

                 (iii)    the original credit application, executed by the
         Obligor;

                  (iv)    the original certificate of title or such documents
         that the Servicer or the Seller shall keep on file, in accordance with
         its customary procedures, evidencing the security interest in the
         related Financed Vehicle; and

                   (v)    any and all other documents that the Seller or the
         Servicer, as the case may be, shall keep on file, in accordance with
         its customary procedures, relating to such Receivable or the related
         Obligor or Financed Vehicle.

         Section 12.05.  Duties of Servicer as Custodian.

         (a)     Safekeeping.  The Servicer, in its capacity as custodian,
shall hold the Receivable Files on behalf of the Trustee for the use and
benefit of all present and future Certificateholders, and maintain such
accurate and complete accounts, records and computer systems pertaining to each
Receivable File as shall enable the Trustee to comply with the Agreement.  In
performing its duties as custodian, the Servicer shall act with reasonable
care, using that degree of skill and attention that it exercises with respect
to the receivable files of comparable recreational vehicle receivables that the
Servicer services for itself or others.  The Servicer shall conduct, or cause
to be conducted, periodic reviews of the files of all receivables owned or
serviced by it which shall include the Receivable Files held by it under the
Agreement, and of the related accounts, records and computer systems, in such a
manner as shall enable the Trustee to verify the accuracy of the Servicer's
record keeping.  The Servicer shall promptly report to the Trustee any failure
on its part to hold the Receivable Files and maintain its accounts, records and
computer systems as herein provided and promptly take appropriate action to
remedy any such failure.

         (b)     Maintenance of and Access to Records.  The Servicer shall
maintain each Receivable File at one of its offices specified in Schedule B to
the Agreement, or at such other office as shall be specified to the Trustee by
30 days' prior written notice.  The Servicer





                                        21
<PAGE>   28
shall make available to the Trustee or its duly authorized representatives,
attorneys or auditors the Receivable Files and the related accounts, records
and computer systems maintained by the Servicer at such times as the Trustee
may reasonably request.

         (c)     Release of Documents.  Upon instruction from the Trustee, the
Servicer shall release any document in the Receivable Files to the Trustee or
its agent or designee, as the case may be, at such place or places as the
Trustee may designate, as soon as practicable.  The Servicer shall not be
responsible for any loss occasioned by the failure of the Trustee to return any
document or any delay in doing so.

         Section 12.06.  Instructions; Authority to Act.  The Servicer shall be
deemed to have received proper instructions with respect to the Receivable
Files upon its receipt of written instructions signed by an Authorized Officer.
A certified copy of a bylaw or of a resolution of the Board of Directors of the
Trustee shall constitute conclusive evidence of the authority of any such
Authorized Officer to act and shall be considered in full force and effect
until receipt by the Servicer of written notice to the contrary given by the
Trustee.

         Section 12.07.  Indemnification by Servicer as Custodian.  The
Servicer, as custodian, shall indemnify the Trustee for any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, compensatory damages, payments, costs or
expenses of any kind whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred or asserted
against the Trustee as the result of any improper act or omission in any way
relating to the maintenance and custody by the Servicer, as custodian, of the
Receivable Files; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be liable for
any portion of any such amount resulting from the willful misfeasance, bad
faith or negligence of the Trustee.

   
         Section 12.08.  Effective Period and Termination.  The Servicer's
appointment as custodian shall become effective as of the Initial Cutoff Date
and shall continue in full force and effect until terminated pursuant to this
Section.  If the Servicer shall resign as Servicer pursuant to Section 18.05 or
if all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer may have been terminated
pursuant to Section 19.01, the appointment of the Servicer as custodian shall
be terminated by the Trustee, or by the Holders of Certificates evidencing not
less than 51% of the Voting Interests of the Class A Certificates and Class B
Certificates, voting together as a single class, in the same manner as the
Trustee or such Holders may terminate the rights and obligations of the
Servicer under Section 19.01.  The Trustee may terminate the Servicer's
appointment as custodian, with cause at any time upon written notification to
the Servicer, and without cause upon 30 days' prior written notification to the
Servicer.  As soon as practicable after any termination of such appointment,
the Servicer shall deliver the Receivable Files to the Trustee or its agent at
such place or places as the Trustee may reasonably designate.  Notwithstanding
the termination of the Servicer as custodian, the Trustee agrees that upon any
such termination, the Trustee shall provide, or cause its agent to provide,
access to the Receivable Files to the Servicer for the purpose of carrying out
its duties and responsibilities with respect to the servicing of the
Receivables hereunder.

                                ARTICLE THIRTEEN

                  ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF RECEIVABLES

         Section 13.01.  Duties of Servicer.  The Servicer, as agent for the
Trustee, shall administer the Receivables with reasonable care, using that
degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises with respect to all
comparable recreational vehicle receivables that it services for itself or
others.  The Servicer's duties shall include collecting and posting of all
payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors or by federal, state or local
government authorities with respect to the Receivables, investigating
delinquencies, reporting tax information to Obligors in accordance with its
customary practices and accounting for collections and furnishing monthly and
annual statements to the Trustee with respect to distributions, making Advances
pursuant to Section 14.04 and making Non-Reimbursable Payments pursuant to
Section 14.05.  The Servicer shall follow its customary standards, policies and
procedures in performing its duties as Servicer.  Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall be authorized and empowered by
the Trustee to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Trust, the Trustee
or the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of
satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge and
all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Receivables or the
related Financed Vehicles.  If the Servicer shall commence a legal proceeding
to enforce a Receivable, including a Defaulted Receivable, the Trustee shall
thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned, solely for the purpose of
collection on behalf of the party retaining an interest in such Receivable,
such Receivable and the other property conveyed to the Trust pursuant to
Section 2.01 of the Agreement with respect to such Receivable to the Servicer
for the purposes of participating in such proceeding.  If in any enforcement
suit or legal proceeding it shall be held that the Servicer may not enforce a
Receivable on the grounds that it shall not be a real party in interest or a
holder entitled to enforce the Receivable, the Trustee shall, at the Servicer's
expense and direction, take steps to enforce the Receivable, including bringing
suit in its name or the name of the Certificateholders.  The Trustee shall
furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary
or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and
administrative duties hereunder.

         Section 13.02.  Collection of Receivable Payments.  The Servicer shall
make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and
provisions of the Receivables as and when the same shall become due and shall
follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to all comparable
recreational vehicle receivables that it services for itself or others.  If, as
a result of extending of payments (including any increase in the number of
payments) in the ordinary course of the Servicer's collection procedures, any
Receivable will be outstanding on the Final Scheduled Distribution Date, then
the Servicer shall repurchase such Receivable pursuant to Section 13.07 or
Section 21.02.  In addition, in the event that any such rescheduling or
extension of a Receivable modifies the terms of such Receivable in such a
manner as to constitute a cancellation of such Receivable and the creation of a
new receivable, the Servicer shall purchase such Receivable pursuant to Section
13.07, and the receivable created shall not be included in the Trust.  For the
purpose of such repurchases pursuant to Section 13.07, notice shall be deemed
to have been received by the Servicer at such time as shall make repurchase
mandatory as of the related Record Date.





                                        23
<PAGE>   30
Notwithstanding the foregoing, extensions or modifications of the payment
schedule of a Receivable cannot be made unless the related Receivable is in
default or a default thereunder is imminent or if such extension or
modification is required by law.  The Servicer may, in accordance with its
customary standards, policies and procedures, in its discretion (i) waive any
late payment charge or any other fees that may be collected in the ordinary
course of servicing a Receivable and (ii) waive the payment by the related
Obligor of Accrued Interest on any Receivable; provided that, in connection
with any such waiver of Accrued Interest, the Servicer shall make an Advance in
respect of the Accrued Interest so waived in accordance with Section 14.04, it
being understood and agreed that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in the Agreement, the obligation of the Servicer hereunder shall be
absolute and shall be performed regardless of whether the Servicer determines
that such Advance shall be recoverable and that the Servicer shall have no
right of reimbursement therefor.

         Section 13.03.  Realization Upon Receivables.  On behalf of the Trust,
the Servicer shall use its best efforts, consistent with its customary
servicing procedures, to repossess or otherwise take possession of the Financed
Vehicle securing any Receivable which the Servicer shall have determined to be
or that the Servicer believes will become a Defaulted Receivable (and shall
specify such Receivables to the Trustee no later than the Determination Date
following the end of the Collection Period in which the Servicer shall have
made such determination).  The Servicer shall follow such customary and usual
practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable in its
servicing of recreational vehicle receivables, which may include reasonable
efforts to realize upon any recourse to Dealers, consigning a Financed Vehicle
to a dealer for resale and selling a Financed Vehicle at public or private
sale.  The Servicer shall be entitled to recover all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by it in the course of converting a Financed Vehicle into
cash proceeds.  The Liquidation Proceeds realized in connection with any such
action with respect to a Receivable shall be deposited by the Servicer in the
Certificate Account in the manner specified in Section 14.06(a)(ii) and shall
be applied to reduce (or to satisfy, as the case may be) the Repurchase Amount
of the Receivable, if such Receivable is to be repurchased by the Seller
pursuant to Section 12.02 or by the Servicer pursuant to Section 13.07;
provided, however, that if such Liquidation Proceeds are recovered subsequent
to the purchase of a Receivable by the Seller such Liquidation Proceeds shall
be paid to the Seller within two Business Days of receipt or, if received with
respect to a Receivable purchased by the Servicer, may be retained by the
Servicer or deposited in the Certificate Account in satisfaction of other
obligations of the Servicer hereunder.  The foregoing shall be subject to the
proviso that, in any case in which a Financed Vehicle shall have suffered
damage, the Servicer shall not expend funds in connection with the repair or
the repossession of such Financed Vehicle unless it shall determine in its
discretion that such repair and/or repossession will increase the Liquidation
Proceeds of the related Receivable by an amount equal to or greater than the
amount of such expenses.

         Section 13.04.  Physical Damage Insurance.  The Servicer, in
accordance with its customary servicing procedures and underwriting standards,
shall require that each Obligor shall have obtained and maintained physical
damage insurance covering each Financed Vehicle as of the date of execution of
the related Receivable.





                                        24
<PAGE>   31
         Section 13.05.  Maintenance of Security Interests in Financed
Vehicles.  The Servicer, in accordance with its customary servicing procedures,
shall take such steps as are necessary to maintain perfection of the security
interest created by each Receivable in the related Financed Vehicle including
the filing of financing statements and continuation statements with respect to
the transfer of the security interest in such Financed Vehicle to the Trust.
The Trustee hereby authorizes the Servicer, and the Servicer hereby agrees, to
take such steps as are necessary to reperfect such security interest on behalf
of the Trust in the event of the relocation of a Financed Vehicle or for any
other reason.  In the event that the assignment of a Receivable to the Trust is
insufficient, without a notation on the related Financed Vehicle's certificate
of title, to grant to the Trust a first perfected security interest in the
related Financed Vehicle, the Servicer hereby agrees to serve as the agent of
the Trust for the purpose of perfecting the security interest in such Financed
Vehicle and that the Servicer's listing as the secured party on the certificate
of title is in its capacity as agent of the Trust.

         Section 13.06.  Covenants of Servicer.  The Servicer shall make the
following covenants on which the Trustee will rely in accepting the Receivables
in trust and authenticating the Certificates:

                   (i)    Security Interest to Remain in Force.  Except as
         contemplated by the Agreement, the Financed Vehicle securing each
         Receivable shall not be released by the Servicer from the security
         interest granted by the Receivable in whole or in part.

                  (ii)    No Impairment.  The Servicer shall not impair the
         rights of the Certificateholders in the Receivables.

                 (iii)    Amendments.  The Servicer shall not increase the
         number of payments under a Receivable except as permitted pursuant to
         Section 13.02, nor increase the Amount Financed under a Receivable.

         Section 13.07.  Purchase of Receivables Upon Breach.  The Servicer or
the Trustee, as the case may be, shall inform the other party promptly, in
writing, upon the discovery of any breach by the Servicer of its obligations
pursuant to Section 13.06 which materially and adversely affects the interest
of the Trust in any Receivable or pursuant to Section 13.02 in the case of a
Receivable for which the related payment schedule has been extended or
modified.  Unless the breach shall have been cured by the second Record Date
following the date of such discovery (or, at the Servicer's election, the first
following Record Date), the Servicer shall purchase any Receivable materially
and adversely affected by such breach as of such second Record Date.  In
consideration of the purchase of such Receivable, the Servicer shall remit the
Repurchase Amount (less any Liquidation Proceeds deposited, or concurrently
being deposited, in the Certificate Account with respect to such Receivable
pursuant to Section 13.03) to the Certificate Account in the manner specified
in Section 14.06(a)(i).  The sole remedy of the Trustee, the Trust or the
Certificateholders against the Servicer with respect to a breach pursuant to
Section 13.02 or 13.06 shall be to require the Servicer to repurchase
Receivables pursuant to this Section.





                                        25
<PAGE>   32
         Section 13.08.  Servicing Fee.  The Servicing Fee for a Collection
Period shall equal the product of one twelfth times the Servicing Fee Rate
times the Pool Balance as of the Record Date immediately preceding the first
day of such Collection Period, except that in the case of the first Collection
Period, the Servicing Fee shall equal the product of one twelfth times the
Servicing Fee Rate times the Original Pool Balance.  The Servicing Fee for any
Collection Period shall be calculated based on a 360 day year comprised of
twelve 30-day months.  In addition, the Servicer shall also be entitled to
receive as additional servicing compensation all late payment and extension
fees, and other administrative fees with respect to the Receivables, collected
(from whatever source) on the Receivables; provided, however, such late payment
and other fees shall not form a part of the Servicing Fee and the Servicer
shall be entitled to such fees as and when collected.

         Section 13.09.  Servicer's Certificate.  On or before each
Determination Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee and the Letter of
Credit Bank, if any, a Servicer's Certificate containing all information
necessary to make the distributions pursuant to Section 14.07 in respect of the
Collection Period preceding the date of such Servicer's Certificate and all
information necessary for the Trustee to send statements to Certificateholders
pursuant to Section 14.10.  The Servicer shall also specify to the Trustee no
later than the Determination Date following the Record Date as of which the
Seller shall be required to repurchase or the Servicer shall be required to
purchase a Receivable, the identity of any such Receivable and the identity of
any Receivable which the Servicer shall have determined to be a Defaulted
Receivable during the preceding Collection Period.  Receivables purchased or to
be purchased by the Servicer or the Seller and Receivables as to which the
Servicer has determined during the Collection Period that eventual payment in
full is unlikely and with respect to which payment of the Repurchase Amount has
been provided from whatever source as of any Record Date shall be identified by
the Seller's account number with respect to such Receivable (as specified in
the Schedule of Receivables).  The Rating Agencies may request such additional
information as the Servicer may be able to reasonably provide.

         Section 13.10.  Annual Statement as to Compliance; Notice of Default;
Opinion as to Interest of the Trustee in the Receivables.

   
         (a)     The Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee and the Letter of
Credit Bank, if any, on or before April 30 of each year, beginning with the
first April 30 that occurs at least six months after the Initial Cutoff Date,
an Officer's Certificate, stating that (i) a review of the activities of the
Servicer during the preceding 12-month period ending the preceding December 31
(or shorter period in the case of the first such certificate) and of its
performance under the Agreement has been made under such officer's supervision
and (ii) to the best of such officer's knowledge, based on such review, the
Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under the Agreement throughout such
year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such
obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature
and status thereof.
    

         (b)     The Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee and the Letter of
Credit Bank, if any, promptly after having obtained knowledge thereof, but in
no event later than five Business Days thereafter, an Officer's Certificate of
any event which with the giving of notice or lapse





                                        26

of time, or both, would become an Event of Default under clause (i) or (ii) of
Section 19.01.  The Seller shall deliver to the Trustee and Letter of Credit
Bank, if any, promptly after having obtained knowledge thereof, but in no event
later than five Business Days thereafter, an Officer's Certificate of any event
which with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would become an
Event of Default under clause (ii) of Section 19.01.

   
         (c)     The Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee on or prior to April
30 of each year, commencing with the first April 30 that occurs at least six
months after the Initial Cutoff Date, an Opinion of Counsel, dated as of such
date, either (A) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all financing
statements and continuation statements have been executed and filed that are
necessary fully to preserve and protect the interest of the Trustee in the
Receivables, and reciting the details of such filings or referring to prior
Opinions of Counsel in which such details are given or (B) stating that, in the
opinion of such counsel, no such action shall be necessary to preserve and
protect such interest.

         Section 13.11.  Annual Independent Certified Public Accountant's
Report.  The Servicer shall cause a firm of independent certified public
accountants (who may also render other services to the Servicer or to the
Seller) to deliver to the Trustee and the Letter of Credit Bank, if any, on or
before April 30 of each year beginning with the first April 30 that occurs at
least six months after the Initial Cutoff Date, a report addressed to the Board
of Directors of the Servicer, the Trustee and the Letter of Credit Bank, if
any, to the effect that such firm has examined the financial statements of the
Servicer for the fiscal year ending the preceding December 31 and issued its
report thereon and that such examination (i) was made in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards, and accordingly included such tests of
the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as such firm
considered necessary in the circumstances, and (ii) except as described in such
report, disclosed no exceptions or errors in the records relating to
receivables serviced for others that, in such firm's opinion, requires such
firm to report.
    

         The report shall also indicate that such firm is independent of the
Servicer within the meaning of the Code of Professional Ethics of the American

Access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and
during the normal business hours at the respective offices of the Servicer.
Nothing in this Section shall affect the obligation of the Servicer to observe
any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the
Obligors, and the failure of the Servicer to provide access to information as a
result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section.

                          DISTRIBUTIONS; RESERVE FUND;
             PRE-FUNDING ACCOUNT; STATEMENTS TO CERTIFICATEHOLDERS

         Section 14.01.  Accounts.

         (a)     The Servicer shall establish the Accounts in the name of the
Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders.  Each Account shall be a
segregated trust account initially established with the Trustee and maintained
(i) with the Trustee so long as the deposits of the Trustee have the Required
Deposit Rating, or (ii) in a non-interest bearing segregated trust account
bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are
held in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders, located in the
corporate trust department of a depository institution or trust company having
corporate trust powers under applicable federal and state laws (which may
include the Trustee) organized under the laws of the United States or any State
and, if required by any Rating Agency, having the Required Long Term Debt
Rating.

         (b)     For so long as the bank or trust company then maintaining the
Accounts has the Required Deposit Rating, all amounts held in the Accounts
shall, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, rules and regulations, be
invested, as directed by the Servicer, in Permitted Investments.  In the event
that the short-term unsecured debt obligations of the Trustee no longer have
the Required Deposit Rating, then the Servicer shall, with the Trustee's
assistance as necessary, cause the Certificate Account and, so long as the
Funding Period has not ended, the Pre-Funding Account, to be moved within 15
days of such occurrence (i) to a bank or trust company, the short-term
unsecured debt obligations of which shall have the Required Deposit Rating, or
(ii) to a non-interest bearing segregated trust account bearing a designation
clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held in trust for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, located in the corporate trust department of
a depository institution or trust company having corporate trust powers under
applicable federal and state laws (which may include the Trustee) organized
under the laws of the United States or any State and, if required by any Rating
Agency, having the Required Long Term Debt Rating.  Earnings on investment of
funds in the Pre-Funding Account shall be deposited into the Certificate
Account pursuant to Section 14.07(a)(i) and losses and investment expenses
shall be charged against the funds on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account.
Earnings on investment of funds in the Certificate Account shall be paid to the
Servicer.
    

         Section 14.02.  Collections.  The Servicer shall remit to the
Certificate Account on a daily basis within two Business Days of receipt
thereof, all payments by or on behalf of the Obligors (other than the amounts
listed in subclauses (i)(a) and (b) of the definition of Available Funds as not
constituting Available Funds) on or in respect of the Receivables (other than
Repurchased Receivables) and all Liquidation Proceeds both as collected during
each Collection Period.

         Fleetwood Credit has requested that the Servicer be permitted to make
remittances of collections on a less frequent basis than that specified in the
immediately preceding sentence





                                        29
<PAGE>   36
upon the Servicer's compliance with the specific terms and conditions set forth
below in this Section and for so long as such terms and conditions are
fulfilled.  Accordingly, notwithstanding the provisions of the first sentence
of this Section, the Servicer will be permitted to remit such collections to
the Certificate Account in Automated Clearinghouse Corporation next-day funds
or immediately available funds no later than 12:00 P.M., New York City time, on
the Business Day immediately preceding each Distribution Date but only for so
long as (a)(i) except as provided in clause (b) below, the short-term credit
rating of the Servicer is at least equal to the Required Servicer Rating by
each Rating Agency, and (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing; provided, however, that immediately following the non-compliance
with clause (i) above or in the event that an event of the nature specified in
clause (iii) of Section 19.01 has occurred (notwithstanding any period of grace
contained in such clause), the Servicer shall remit such collections to the
Certificate Account on a daily basis within two Business Days of receipt
thereof, or (b)(i) if the condition specified in clause (a)(ii) above is
satisfied, and (ii) the Servicer shall have obtained a Servicer Letter of
Credit issued in favor of the Trustee by a depository institution or insurance
company, as the case may be, having a short-term credit rating at least equal
to the Required Deposit Rating and providing that the Trustee may draw thereon
in the event that the Servicer fails to deposit collections into the
Certificate Account on a monthly basis; provided that in connection with clause
(b) above, the Servicer provides, to the Trustee, from each Rating Agency for
which the Servicer's then-current short-term credit rating is not at least
equal to the Required Servicer Rating for such Rating Agency, a letter to the
effect that the satisfaction of the conditions in clause (b) above and allowing
the Servicer to make monthly deposits will not result in a qualification,
reduction or withdrawal of the then-current rating of the Rated Certificates
and, if applicable, an Officer's Certificate from the Servicer to the effect
that the Servicer's then-current short-term credit rating is at least equal to
the Required Servicer Rating from each other Rating Agency, if any; and,
provided further, that if the Servicer shall have obtained a Servicer Letter of
Credit in accordance with clause (b) above, the Servicer shall be required to
remit such collections in the manner provided for in Section 15.01(c) under the
conditions specified in such Section.  The Trustee shall not be deemed to have
knowledge of any event or circumstance under clause (a)(ii) above that would
require daily remittance by the Servicer to the Certificate Account unless it
has received notice of such event or circumstance from the Seller or the
Servicer in an Officer's Certificate or from Certificateholders as provided in
Section 19.01.  For purposes of this Article the phrase "payments made on
behalf of Obligors" shall mean payments made by Persons other than the Seller,
the Servicer or the Letter of Credit Bank, if any.

         Any funds held by the Servicer which it determines are to be remitted
(or any of its own funds which the Seller or the Servicer determines to pay to
the Letter of Credit Bank) in respect of a failure previously to remit
collections which failure resulted in a payment under any Servicer Letter of
Credit pursuant to Section 15.01 shall not be remitted to the Certificate
Account, but shall instead be paid immediately and directly to the Letter of
Credit Bank.  Any such payment to the Letter of Credit Bank shall be
accompanied by a copy of the Servicer's Certificate related to the previous
failure to remit funds and an Officer's Certificate which includes a statement
identifying, by reference to the items in such Servicer's Certificate, each
shortfall in Servicer remittances to which such payment relates.  The Servicer
will also





                                        30
<PAGE>   37
provide the Trustee with copies of each such Servicer's Certificate and
Officer's Certificate delivered with any such payment to the Letter of Credit
Bank.

         Section 14.03.  Application of Collections.  As of each Record Date,
all collections for the related Collection Period shall be applied by the
Servicer as follows:  with respect to each Receivable (including a Defaulted
Receivable), payments by or on behalf of an Obligor shall be applied first to
late payment and extension fees, second to interest accrued on the Receivable,
third to principal of the Receivable and fourth to administrative charges, if
any.  Any excess shall be applied to pay the principal balance of the
Receivable.

   
         Section 14.04.  Advances.  As of each Record Date, the Servicer shall
purchase from the Trust the aggregate Accrued Interest on the Receivables
(including Accrued Interest waived by the Servicer pursuant to Section 13.02)
at a price equal to the face value thereof.  On the Business Day immediately
preceding the related Distribution Date, the Servicer shall deposit an amount
equal to the Accrued Interest in respect of each Receivable plus the amount
then due and unpaid in respect of principal on each Receivable that became a
Defaulted Receivable during the related Collection Period (an "Advance") in the
Certificate Account in Automated Clearinghouse Corporation next-day funds or
immediately available funds.  The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement
for unreimbursed Advances, without interest, with respect to a Receivable from
subsequent Collected Interest or Collected Principal, as the case may be,
allocable with respect to such Receivable, Liquidation Proceeds of or the
Repurchase Amount of such Receivable or as otherwise provided in Section 14.07,
except as otherwise provided in Sections 13.02 and 13.07.  Except as otherwise
provided in Section 13.02, the Servicer shall not be required to make an
Advance to the extent that the Servicer, in its sole discretion, shall
determine that such Advance will not be recoverable from subsequent payments by
or on behalf of the related Obligor, Liquidation Proceeds or the Repurchase
Amount with respect to such Receivable (whether such Receivable is purchased by
the Seller or the Servicer, to the extent such right of reimbursement is not
waived in connection with any such repurchase) or otherwise.
    

         Section 14.05.  Non-Reimbursable Payments.  As of each Record Date,
the Servicer shall be required to make a payment (the "Non-Reimbursable
Payment") equal to the amount of interest that accrued on the aggregate
Collected Principal for the related Collection Period, at a rate equal to the
sum of (i) the weighted average of the Class A Pass- Through Rate and the Class
B Pass-Through Rate as of the Closing Date and (ii) the Servicing Fee Rate,
from the date of collection of each payment of principal on or in respect of
the Receivables comprising part of such aggregate Collected Principal through
such Record Date, based on a year with the actual number of days in such year
and consisting of twelve months with the actual number of days in such month.
The Servicer shall not be entitled to reimbursement for any Non-Reimbursable
Payment from the Trust, the Trustee, the Seller or the Letter of Credit Bank,
if any.  On the Business Day immediately preceding each Distribution Date, the
Servicer shall deposit into the Certificate Account in Automated Clearinghouse
Corporation next-day funds or immediately available funds an amount equal to
the aggregate Non-Reimbursable Payments to be made in respect of the related
Collection Period.

         Section 14.06.  Additional Deposits.

   
         (a)     The following additional deposits shall be made to the
Certificate Account:  (i) the Servicer or the Seller, as the case may be, shall
remit the aggregate Repurchase Amount with respect to Repurchased Receivables
pursuant to Sections 12.02, 13.07 and 21.02, (ii) the Servicer shall remit the
aggregate Liquidation Proceeds received during each Collection Period (less any
Liquidation Proceeds paid to the Seller or retained by the Servicer) pursuant
to Section 13.03, (iii) the Trustee shall deposit (A) the aggregate of any
amounts received from any Letter of Credit Bank pursuant to Article Fifteen or
(B) from the sale of Receivables pursuant to Section 21.03, in each case on the
date of receipt thereof, and (iv) on the Distribution Date immediately
succeeding the date in which the Funding Period ends (or on the Distribution
Date on which the Funding Period ends, if the Funding Period ends on a
Distribution Date), the Trustee shall remit the remaining Pre-Funded Amount on
deposit in the Pre-Funding Account to the Certificate Account pursuant to
Section 14.09(c).
    

         (b)     Except as otherwise provided in Section 14.02, all deposits
required to be made in respect of a Collection Period pursuant to this Section
by the Seller or the Servicer may be made in the form of a single deposit by
the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, and shall be made in Automated
Clearinghouse Corporation next-day funds or immediately available funds, no
later than 12:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Business Day preceding each
Distribution Date.

         Section 14.07.  Distributions.

   
         (a)     On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall cause to be made
the following transfers and distributions in immediately available funds in the
amounts set forth in the Servicer's Certificate for such Distribution Date:

                   (i)    from monies on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account to
         the Certificate Account, earnings received from investment of the
         Pre-Funded Amount during the related Collection Period;

                  (ii)    from monies on deposit in the Reserve Fund to the
         Certificate Account, an amount equal to the Negative Carry Amount for
         the related Collection Period, if any.

         (b)     The rights of the Class B Certificateholders to receive
distributions in respect of the Class B Certificates shall be and hereby are
subordinated to the rights of the Class A Certificateholders to receive
distributions in respect of the Class A Certificates to the extent provided in
this Section.  On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall cause to be made
the following transfers and distributions from the Certificate Account in
respect of the related Collection Period in the following order of priority and
in the amounts set forth in the Servicer's Certificate for such Distribution
Date:
    

                   (i)    to the Servicer in reimbursement of an Advance
         previously made in respect of a Receivable, by wire transfer of
         immediately available funds, from monies





                                        32
<PAGE>   39
         on deposit in the Certificate Account in respect of (A) the amount of
         Collected Interest collected during the related Collection Period in
         respect of the related Receivable, (B) the interest portion of the
         Repurchase Amount (to the extent that the Repurchase Amount does not
         consist in part of a waiver of the right to reimbursement for an
         Advance made in respect of such Receivable, as provided in Section
         13.02) and (C) the interest portion of Liquidation Proceeds of such
         Receivable; provided that no repayment of an Advance made by the
         Servicer in respect of a Receivable pursuant to this subclause, when
         taken together with all previous repayments made in respect of such
         Advance, may exceed the actual amount of the Advance;

                  (ii)    to the Servicer, by wire transfer of immediately
         available funds, the aggregate payment of the Servicing Fee (including
         any unpaid Servicing Fees with respect to one or more prior Collection
         Periods); provided, however, that such fees shall be provided from
         Available Funds only to the extent, as determined by the Servicer
         pursuant to Section 14.03, such funds represent payment in respect of
         the Receivables allocable to interest;

                 (iii)    to the Class A Certificateholders as of the previous
         Record Date from Collected Interest (after giving effect to the
         reduction in Collected Interest described in clauses (i) and (ii)
         above), an amount equal to the sum of the Class A Interest
         Distributable Amount and any outstanding Class A Interest Carryover
         Shortfall; and, if such Collected Interest is insufficient, the Class
         A Certificateholders will receive such shortfall first, from the Class
         B Percentage of Collected Principal and second, if such amounts are
         still insufficient, from monies on deposit in the Reserve Fund;

                  (iv)    to the Class B Certificateholders as of the previous
         Record Date, from Collected Interest (after giving effect to the
         reduction in Collected Interest described in clauses (i), (ii) and
         (iii) above), an amount equal to the sum of the Class B Interest
         Distributable Amount and any outstanding Class B Interest Carryover
         Shortfall; and, if such Collected Interest is insufficient, the Class
         B Certificateholders will receive such shortfall from monies on
         deposit in the Reserve Fund;

                   (v)    to the Class A Certificateholders as of the previous
         Record Date, from Collected Principal (after giving effect to
         reduction in Collected Principal described in clause (iii) above) an
         amount equal to the sum of the Class A Principal Distributable Amount
         and any outstanding Class A Principal Carryover Shortfall; and, if
         such Collected Principal is insufficient, the Class A
         Certificateholders will receive such shortfall first, from Collected
         Interest (after giving effect to the reduction in Collected Interest
         described in clauses (i) through (iv) above) and second, if such
         amounts are still insufficient, from monies on deposit in the Reserve
         Fund; and

                  (vi)    to the Class B Certificateholders as of the previous
         Record Date, from Collected Principal (after giving effect to the
         reduction in Collected Principal described in clauses (iii) and (v)
         above), an amount equal to the sum of the Class B Principal
         Distributable Amount and any outstanding Class B Principal Carryover
         Shortfall; and, if such Collected Principal is insufficient, the Class
         B Certificateholders will receive





                                        33
<PAGE>   40
         such shortfall first, from Collected Interest (after giving effect to
         the reduction in Collected Interest described in clauses (i) through
         (v) above) and second, if such amounts are still insufficient, from
         monies on deposit in the Reserve Fund.

   
         (c)     On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute any
excess amounts remaining in the Certificate Account in respect of the related
Collection Period after making the distributions described in clauses (a)(i)
through (vi) above ("Excess Amounts") in the following amounts and in the
following order of priority: (i) into the Reserve Fund until the amount on
deposit therein equals the Specified Reserve Fund Balance, and (ii) to the
Seller.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Excess Amounts will be deposited
into the Reserve Fund and will not be paid to the Seller until the Distribution
Date immediately succeeding the date on which the Funding Period ends (or on
the Distribution Date on which the Funding Period ends if the Funding Period
ends on a Distribution Date).

         (d)     Subject to Section 21.01 with respect to the final payment
upon retirement of each Certificate, on each Distribution Date the Trustee
shall distribute to the respective Certificateholders of record as of the
previous Record Date by check mailed by the Trustee to each Certificateholder's
respective address (or if DTC, its nominee or a Clearing Agency is the relevant
Certificateholder, by wire transfer of immediately available funds or pursuant
to other arrangements) the amount to be distributed to such Certificateholder
pursuant to such Holder's Certificate.

         (e)     In the event that the Servicer determines that the amount of
an Advance previously made in respect of a Receivable which became a Defaulted
Receivable is not recoverable as a result of the fact that Liquidation Proceeds
of such Defaulted Receivable are insufficient to fully reimburse the Servicer
for such Advance, the Servicer shall be entitled to withdraw from the
Certificate Account an amount equal to the amount that would be necessary to
fully reimburse the Servicer for such Advance, and the amount available for the
other distributions pursuant to this Section will be reduced accordingly.
    

         Section 14.08.  Subordination; Reserve Fund; Priority of
Distributions.

   
         (a)     (i)  In order to effectuate the subordination provided for
         herein and to assure that sufficient amounts to make required
         distributions to Certificateholders will be available, the Servicer
         shall establish and maintain with the Trustee a separate trust account
         (the "Reserve Fund") which will include the money and other property
         deposited and held therein pursuant to Section 14.07(c)(i) and this
         Section.  Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, the Reserve
         Fund shall (A) be a segregated trust account initially established
         with the Trustee and maintained with the Trustee so long as the
         commercial paper, other short-term unsecured debt obligations or
         uninsured deposits of the Trustee have the Required Rating and (B) in
         the event that the commercial paper, other short-term unsecured debt
         obligations or uninsured deposits of the Trustee no longer have the
         Required Rating, within ten Business Days the Servicer shall, with the
         assistance of the Trustee as necessary, cause the Reserve Fund to be
         moved to (1) a segregated deposit account in a bank or trust company
         the commercial paper, other short-term unsecured debt obligations or
         uninsured deposits of which shall

         have the Required Rating, or (2) segregated trust accounts bearing
         designations clearly indicating the funds deposited therein are held
         in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders, located in the
         corporate trust department of a depository institution or trust
         company (which may include the Trustee) having a long-term deposit
         rating from Moody's (so long as Moody's is a Rating Agency) of at
         least Baa3 (or such lower rating as Moody's shall approve in writing)
         and corporate trust powers under applicable federal and state laws and
         organized under the laws of the United States, any State or the
         Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
    

                 On or prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall deposit an
         amount equal to the Reserve Fund Initial Deposit into the Reserve
         Fund.  The Reserve Fund shall not be part of the Trust but instead
         will be held for the benefit of the Holders of the Certificates.  The
         Seller hereby acknowledges that any money and other property held in
         the Reserve Fund, including the Reserve Fund Initial Deposit (and any
         investment earnings thereon), is owned directly by it, and the Seller
         hereby agrees to treat the same as its assets (and earnings) for
         federal income, state and local franchise tax purposes.

                  (ii)    In order to give effect to the subordination provided
         for herein and to assure availability of the amounts maintained in the
         Reserve Fund, the Seller hereby sells, conveys and transfers to the
         Trustee, as collateral agent, and its successors and assigns, the
         Reserve Fund Initial Deposit and all proceeds thereof and hereby
         pledges to the Trustee as collateral agent, and its successors and
         assigns, all other amounts deposited in or credited to the Reserve
         Fund from time to time under the Agreement, all Permitted Investments
         made with amounts on deposit therein, all earnings and distributions
         thereon and proceeds thereof (other than proceeds constituting net
         investment earnings attributable to the Reserve Fund Property)
         subject, however, to the limitations set forth below, and solely for
         the purpose of securing and providing for payment of the Class A and
         Class B Distributable Amounts, together with any Class A and Class B
         Interest Carryover Shortfalls and Class A and Class B Principal
         Carryover Shortfalls, in accordance with Section 14.07 and this
         Section (all the foregoing, subject to the limitations set forth
         below, being the "Reserve Fund Property"), to have and to hold all the
         aforesaid property, rights and privileges unto the Trustee, its
         successors and assigns, in trust for the uses and purposes, and
         subject to the terms and provisions, set forth in this Section.  The
         Trustee hereby acknowledges such transfer and accepts the trusts
         hereunder and shall hold and distribute the Reserve Fund Property in
         accordance with the terms and provisions of this Section.

   
                 (iii)    Consistent with the limited purposes for which such
         trust is granted on each Distribution Date, the amounts on deposit in
         the Reserve Fund shall be available for distribution as provided in
         Section 14.07, in accordance with and subject to the following:  if
         the amount on deposit in the Reserve Fund (after giving effect to all
         deposits thereto and withdrawals therefrom on such Distribution Date)
         is greater than the Specified Reserve Fund Balance, the Trustee shall
         release and distribute all such amounts to the Seller unless
         prohibited from making such distribution by the last sentence of
         Section 14.07(c).  Upon any such distribution to the Seller, the
         Certificateholders will have no further rights in, or claims to, such
         amounts.

         (b)       (i)    Amounts held in the Reserve Fund shall be invested in
         Permitted Investments in accordance with written instructions from the
         Seller and such investments shall not be sold or disposed of prior to
         their maturity.  Investment earnings attributable to the Reserve Fund
         Property shall not be available to satisfy the subordination
         provisions of the Agreement and shall not otherwise be subject to any
         claims or rights of the Certificateholders or the Servicer.  All such
         investments shall be made in the name of the Trustee or its nominee,
         as collateral agent, and all income and gain realized thereon shall be
         solely for the benefit of the Seller and shall be payable by the
         Trustee to the Seller on each Distribution Date.  Realized losses, if
         any, on investment of the Reserve Fund Property shall be charged first
         against undistributed investment earnings attributable to the Reserve
         Fund Property and then against the Reserve Fund Property.

                  (ii)    With respect to the Reserve Fund Property, the Seller
         on behalf of itself, its successors and assigns and the Trustee agree
         that:

                          (A)     Any Reserve Fund Property that is held in
                 deposit accounts shall be held solely in the name of the
                 Trustee, as collateral agent, at the Trustee (in a segregated
                 trust account if the deposits of the Trustee do not have the
                 Required Deposit Rating) or at one or more depository
                 institutions which have the Required Deposit Rating.  Each
                 such deposit account shall be subject to the exclusive custody
                 and control of the Trustee, and the Trustee shall have sole
                 signature authority with respect thereto.

                          (B)     Any Reserve Fund Property that constitutes
                 Physical Property shall be delivered to the Trustee, as
                 collateral agent, in accordance with paragraph (a) of the
                 definition of "Delivery" and shall be held, pending maturity
                 or disposition, solely by the Trustee, as collateral agent, or
                 a Financial Intermediary acting solely for the Trustee, as
                 collateral agent.

                          (C)     Any Reserve Fund Property that is a
                 book-entry security held through the Federal Reserve System
                 pursuant to federal book-entry regulations shall be delivered
                 in accordance with paragraph (b) of the definition of
                 "Delivery" and shall be maintained by the Trustee, as
                 collateral agent, pending maturity or disposition, through
                 continued book-entry registration of such Reserve Fund
                 Property as described in such paragraph.

                          (D)     Any Reserve Fund Property that is an
                 "uncertificated security" under Article 8 of the UCC and that
                 is not governed by clause (C) above shall be delivered to the
                 Trustee, as collateral agent, in accordance with paragraph (c)
                 of the definition of "Delivery" and shall be maintained by the
                 Trustee, as collateral agent, pending maturity or disposition,
                 through continued registration of the Trustee's or its
                 Financial Intermediary's (or its custodian's or its nominee's)
                 ownership of such security, in its capacity as collateral
                 agent.

                 Effective upon Delivery of any Reserve Fund Property in the
         form of Physical Property, book-entry securities or uncertificated
         securities, the Trustee shall be deemed to have purchased such Reserve
         Fund Property for value, in good faith and without notice of any
         adverse claim thereto.

                 (iii)    Each of the Seller and the Servicer agrees to take or
         cause to be taken such further actions, to execute, deliver and file
         or cause to be executed, delivered and filed such further documents
         and instruments (including, without limitation, any UCC financing
         statements or the Agreement) as may be determined to be necessary in
         an Opinion of Counsel to the Seller delivered to the Trustee in order
         to perfect the interests created by this Section and otherwise fully
         to effectuate the purposes, terms and conditions of this Section.  The
         Seller and/or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall:

                          (A)     promptly execute, deliver and file any
                 financing statements, amendments, continuation statements,
                 assignments, certificates and other documents with respect to
                 such interests and perform all such other acts as may be
                 necessary in order to perfect or to maintain the perfection of
                 the Trustee's security interest; and

                          (B)     make the necessary filings of financing
                 statements or amendments thereto within five days after the
                 occurrence of any of the following:  (1) any change in its
                 corporate name or any trade name; (2) any change in the
                 location of its chief executive office or principal place of
                 business; and (3) any merger or consolidation or other change
                 in its identity or corporate structure and promptly notify the
                 Trustee of any such filings.

                  (iv)    The Trustee shall not enter into any subordination or
         intercreditor agreement with respect to the Reserve Fund Property.

         (c)     Upon termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section
21.01, any amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund, after payment of amounts due
to the Class A and Class B Certificateholders, shall be paid to the Seller.

   
         Section 14.09.  Pre-Funding Account.

         (a)     Pursuant to Section 14.01, the Servicer shall establish the
Pre-Funding Account in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders.

         (b)     On the Closing Date, the Seller will deposit in the
Pre-Funding Account an amount equal to the Original Pre-Funded Amount from the
proceeds of the sale of the Certificates.  On each Subsequent Transfer Date,
the Servicer shall instruct the Trustee in writing to withdraw from the
Pre-Funding Account an amount equal to the Principal Balance of the Subsequent
Receivables (as of the related Subsequent Cutoff Date) sold to the Trust on
such Subsequent Transfer Date and pay such amount to or upon the order of the
Seller upon

satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Agreement and in the related
Transfer Agreement with respect to such transfer.

         (c)     If (i) the Pre-Funded Amount has not been reduced to zero by
the close of business on the Latest Funding Period Termination Date or (ii) the
Pre-Funded Amount has been reduced to $100,000 or less on any Distribution Date
during the Funding Period, in either case after giving effect to any reductions
in the Pre-Funded Amount on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section
14.09(b), the Servicer shall instruct the Trustee to withdraw such remaining
portion of the Pre-Funded Amount from the Pre-Funding Account and deposit it in
the Certificate Account on such Distribution Date to be applied to a partial
prepayment of the Certificates, in addition to the payment of principal and
interest that otherwise would be payable with respect to such Certificates on
such Distribution Date.

         Section 14.10.  Net Deposits.  For so long as (i) Fleetwood Credit
shall be the Servicer and (ii) the Servicer shall be entitled pursuant to
Section 14.02 to remit collections on a monthly rather than daily basis, the
Servicer may make the remittances pursuant to Sections 14.02, 14.04, 14.05 and
14.06 net of amounts to be distributed to the Servicer pursuant to Section
14.07.  Nonetheless, the Servicer shall account for all of the above described
remittances and distributions in the Servicer's Certificate as if the amounts
were deposited and/or distributed separately.

         Section 14.11.  Statements to Certificateholders.  On each
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall include with each distribution to each
Class A Certificateholder and Class B Certificateholder of record, a statement
based on information in the related Servicer's Certificate furnished pursuant
to Section 13.09, setting forth for the related Collection Period the following

         principal to Certificateholders.
    

         Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar

                         THE SERVICER LETTER OF CREDIT

         Section 15.01.  Servicer Letter of Credit.

         (a)     If the Servicer has obtained a Servicer Letter of Credit, on
any Distribution Date which immediately follows a Collection Period during
which the Servicer is permitted to remit collections on a monthly rather than a
daily basis pursuant to Section 14.02 and the Servicer shall have failed to
make in full the remittances to the Certificate Account pursuant to Section
14.02 required for distribution to Certificateholders on such Distribution Date
by 12:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding
such Distribution Date, the Trustee shall immediately deliver a demand for
payment under the Servicer Letter of Credit to the Letter of Credit Bank
requesting payment in the amount of the shortfall between the amount of funds
that are required to be remitted by the Servicer to the Certificate Account as
set forth in the related Servicer's Certificate and the amount of funds
actually so remitted.  Upon receipt of a completed demand for payment by the
Trustee under the Servicer Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Bank shall
pay or cause to be paid, at the time and in the manner provided in the Servicer
Letter of Credit, an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount demanded by
the Trustee and (ii) the amount available under the Servicer Letter of Credit
(the "Servicer Letter of Credit Amount") to the Trustee for deposit to the
Certificate Account.  Except as otherwise provided in the Servicer Letter of
Credit, the Servicer Letter of Credit Amount shall equal the lesser of (x) the
product of the Initial Servicer Letter of Credit Amount and the Reset
Percentage, or (y) the Pool Balance as of the related Record Date.  For the
purpose of Section 14.07 or 19.01(i), amounts deposited by the Trustee pursuant
to this Section shall be deemed to constitute Servicer remittances with respect
to which the demand on the Servicer Letter of Credit was made.

         (b)     Any Servicer Letter of Credit may be terminated by the Trustee
at any time when the Servicer's short term debt obligations are rated at least
equal to the Required Servicer Rating by each Rating Agency; provided, however,
that prior to any such termination of the Servicer Letter of Credit, the
Servicer shall furnish to the Trustee, from each Rating Agency for which the
Servicer's then-current short-term credit rating is not at least as specified
above, a letter to the effect that the rating then assigned to the Rated
Certificates will not be qualified, reduced or withdrawn and, if applicable, an
Officer's Certificate of the Servicer to the effect that the Servicer's
then-current short-term credit rating is at least as specified above from each
other Rating Agency, if any.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the short term
debt obligations of the Servicer are subsequently downgraded below the Required
Servicer Rating by any Rating Agency, the Servicer shall be required to obtain
an insurance policy, letter of credit or surety bond acceptable to each Rating
Agency (as evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that the
rating then assigned to the Rated Certificates will not be qualified, reduced
or withdrawn) which insurance policy or surety bond, if it shall not replace
the Servicer Letter of Credit, shall be drawn upon prior to any draws made upon
the Servicer Letter of Credit pursuant to this Section, or the Servicer shall
remit collections to the Certificate Account on a daily basis pursuant to
Section 14.02.  In addition, the Servicer may cancel the Servicer Letter of
Credit for so long as the Servicer is





                                        41
<PAGE>   48
required to remit collections to the Certificate Account on a daily basis
pursuant to Section 14.02.  The Servicer shall provide notice of such
cancellation of the Servicer Letter of Credit pursuant to the immediately
preceding sentence to each Rating Agency.  The Servicer shall also provide
notice of the renewal, if any, of the Servicer Letter of Credit to each Rating
Agency and the Trustee.

         (c)     Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section, in the
event that on any day during a Collection Period during which the Servicer is
permitted to remit collections on a monthly rather than a daily basis as a
result of having obtained a Servicer Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 14.02
and the aggregate amount of collections described in the first sentence of
Section 14.02 exceeds the product of the Servicer Letter of Credit Percentage
and the Servicer Letter of Credit Amount, then the Servicer shall cause the
amount of such excess to be deposited into the Certificate Account on the next
succeeding Business Day.

                                THE CERTIFICATES

         Section 16.01.  The Certificates.  Unless otherwise specified in the
Agreement, the Certificates shall be issued in denominations of $1,000 and
integral multiples thereof in registered form; provided, however, that one
Class A Certificate and one Class B Certificate may be issued in a denomination
that includes any remaining portion of the Original Class A Certificate Balance
or the Original Class B Certificate Balance, as the case may be (each, a
"Residual Certificate").  The Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the
Trust by manual or facsimile signature of an Authorized Officer under the
Trustee's seal imprinted thereon and attested on behalf of the Trust by the
manual or facsimile signature of the Trustee.  Certificates bearing the manual
or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such
signatures shall have been affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trust,
shall be valid and binding obligations of the Trust, notwithstanding that such
individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be so authorized prior to the
authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices
at the date of such Certificates.

         Section 16.02.  Execution, Authentication and Delivery of
Certificates.  The Trustee shall deliver to, or upon the order of, the Seller,
in exchange for the Receivables and the other assets of the Trust,
simultaneously with the sale, assignment and transfer to the Trustee of the
Receivables, the constructive delivery to the Trustee of the Receivable Files
relating thereto and the delivery to the Trustee of the other components of the
Trust, Certificates duly executed by the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, and
authenticated by the Trustee in authorized denominations equaling in the
aggregate the sum of the Original Class A Certificate Balance and the Original
Class B Certificate Balance, and evidencing the entire ownership of the Trust.
No Certificate shall entitle its holder to any benefit under the Agreement, or
shall be valid for any purpose, unless there shall appear on such Certificate a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form appearing as an Exhibit
to the Agreement executed by the Trustee by manual signature; such
authentication shall constitute conclusive evidence that such Certificate shall
have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.  All Certificates shall
be dated the date of their authentication.

         Section 16.03.  Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.

         (a)     The Certificate Registrar shall maintain a Certificate
Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe,

         (b)     Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate
at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 16.07, the Trustee shall
execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class, in authorized
denominations of a like aggregate amount dated the date of authentication by
the Trustee.  At the option of a Holder, Certificates may be exchanged for
other Certificates of authorized denominations and of a like aggregate amount
upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at such office or agency.

         (c)     Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed
by the Holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing.  Each Certificate
surrendered for registration of transfer and exchange shall be cancelled and
subsequently disposed of by the Trustee.

         (d)     No service charge shall be made for any registration of
transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Trustee may require payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

         Section 16.04.  Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.  If
(i) any mutilated Certificate shall be surrendered to the Certificate
Registrar, or if the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee shall receive
evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Certificate and (ii) there shall be delivered to the Certificate Registrar and
the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required to save each of them
harmless, then in the absence of notice that such Certificate shall have been
acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in
lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new
Certificate of like tenor and denomination.  In connection with the issuance of
any new Certificate under this Section, the Trustee may require the payment of
a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection therewith.  Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to
this Section shall constitute conclusive evidence of ownership in the Trust, as
if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate
shall be found at any time.

         Section 16.05.  Persons Deemed Owners.  Prior to due presentation of a
Certificate for registration of transfer, the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate shall be
registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving
distributions pursuant to Section 14.07 and for all other purposes whatsoever,
and neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Registrar shall be bound by any
notice to the contrary.

         Section 16.06.  Access to List of Certificateholder Names and
Addresses.  The Certificate Registrar shall furnish or cause to be furnished to
the Servicer, within 15 days after receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a
request therefor from the Servicer in writing, a list, in such form as the
Servicer may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the
Certificateholders as of the most recent Record Date.  If three or more
Certificateholders, or one or more Holders of Certificates of any Class
aggregating not less than 25% of the Voting





                                        44

Interests evidenced by such Class, apply in writing to the Trustee, and such
application states that the applicants desire to communicate with other
Certificateholders with respect to their rights under the Agreement or under
the Certificates and such application shall be accompanied by a copy of the
communication that such applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee shall,
within five Business Days after the receipt for such application, afford such
applicants access during normal business hours to the current list of
Certificateholders.  Each Holder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, shall
be deemed to have agreed to hold neither the Servicer nor the Trustee
accountable by reason of the disclosure of its name and address, regardless of
the source from which such information was derived.

         Section 16.07.  Maintenance of Office or Agency.  The Certificate
Registrar shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an
office or offices or agency or agencies where Certificates may be surrendered
for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or
upon the Certificate Registrar in respect of the Certificates and the Agreement
may be served.  Unless otherwise provided in the Agreement, the Trustee shall
designate its Corporate Trust Office as its office for such purposes.  The
Certificate Registrar shall give prompt written notice to the Servicer and to
Certificateholders of any change in the location of the Certificate Register or
any such office or agency.

         Section 16.08.  Temporary Certificates.  In the event that the
Agreement provides that either Class of Certificates are not to be issued in
book-entry form pursuant to Section 16.09, pending the preparation of
definitive, fully registered Certificates of such Class pursuant to Section
16.11 (the "Definitive Certificates"), the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, may
execute, authenticate and deliver temporary Certificates of such Class that are
printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any
authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the Definitive
Certificates in lieu of which they are issued.  If temporary Certificates are
issued, the Seller will cause Definitive Certificates to be prepared without
unreasonable delay.  After the preparation of Definitive Certificates, the
temporary Certificates shall be exchangeable for Definitive Certificates upon
surrender of the temporary Certificates at the office or agency to be
maintained as provided in Section 16.07, without charge to the Holder.  Upon
surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Certificates, the
Trustee shall execute and authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like
principal amount of Definitive Certificates in authorized denominations.  Until
so exchanged the temporary Certificates shall in all respects be entitled to
the same benefits under the Agreement as Definitive Certificates.

         Section 16.09.  Book-Entry Certificates.  Unless otherwise specified
in the Agreement, the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates, upon
original issuance (except for the Residual Certificates) each will be issued in
the form of one or more typewritten certificates representing the Book-Entry
Certificates, to be delivered to DTC, the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on
behalf of, the Seller.  The certificates delivered to DTC evidencing such
Certificates shall initially be registered on the Certificate Register in the
name of CEDE & CO., the nominee of DTC, and no Certificate Owner will receive a
Definitive Certificate representing such Certificate Owner's interest in the
Certificates, except as provided in Section 16.11.  Unless otherwise specified
in the Agreement, subject to Section 16.11, unless and until Definitive
Certificates have been issued to Certificate Owners pursuant to Section 16.11:

         and effect;

                  (ii)   the Seller, the Servicer, the Certificate Registrar and
         the Trustee may deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes 
         (including the making of distributions on the Certificates) as the 
         authorized representative of the Certificate Owners;
         
                  (iii)  to the extent that the provisions of this Section
         conflict with any other provisions of the Agreement, the provisions of
         this Section shall control;

                  (iv)   the rights of Certificate Owners shall be exercised
         only through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those
         established by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and
         the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants and,
         pursuant to the related depository agreement, unless and until
         Definitive Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 16.11, the
         initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the 
         Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit distributions
         of principal and interest on the Certificates to such Clearing Agency
         Participants; and
        
                   (v)   whenever the Agreement requires or permits actions to
         be taken based upon instructions or directions of Holders of
         Certificates evidencing a specified percentage of the Voting Interests
         thereof, the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to represent such
         percentage only to the extent that it has received instructions to such
         effect from Certificate Owners and/or Clearing Agency Participants 
         owning or representing, respectively, such required percentage of the
         beneficial interest in Certificates and has delivered such instructions
         to the Trustee.

         Section 16.10.  Notices to Clearing Agency.  Whenever notice or other
communication to the Certificateholders is required under the Agreement, other
than to the Holder of the Residual Certificates, unless and until Definitive
Certificates shall have been issued to Certificate Owners pursuant to Section
16.11, the Trustee and the Servicer shall give all such notices and
communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the Certificates to
the Clearing Agency.

         Section 16.11.  Definitive Certificates.  If (i)(A) the Seller advises
the Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to
properly discharge its responsibilities as described in the Letter of
Representations and (B) the Trustee or the Seller is unable to locate a
qualified successor, (ii) the Seller at its option, advises the Trustee in
writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing
Agency or (iii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Certificate Owners
representing beneficial interests in Class A Certificates or Class B
Certificates aggregating not less than 51% of the Voting Interests of the
related Class, advise the Trustee and the Clearing Agency through the Clearing
Agency Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system
through the Clearing Agency with respect to such Class is no longer in the best
interests of the related Certificate Owners, then the Trustee shall notify all
such Certificate Owners, through the Clearing Agency, of the occurrence of any
such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to such
Certificate Owners requesting the same.  Upon surrender to the Trustee of
 




                                        46
<PAGE>   53

the related Certificates by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration
instructions from the Clearing Agency for registration, the Trustee shall issue
the Definitive Certificates and deliver such Definitive Certificates in
accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency.  Neither the Seller,
the Certificate Registrar nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in
delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be
protected in relying on, such instructions.  Upon the issuance of Definitive
Certificates, the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive
Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.  The Trustee shall not be liable
if the Trustee or the Seller is unable to locate a qualified successor Clearing
Agency.

Person controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Seller may
in its individual or any other capacity become the owner or pledgee of
Certificates with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Seller or
an affiliate thereof, except as otherwise provided in the definition of the
terms "Certificateholder" and "Voting Interests."  Certificates so owned by or
pledged to the Seller or such controlling or commonly controlled Person shall
have an equal and proportionate benefit under the provisions of the Agreement,
without preference, priority or distinction as among all of the Certificates.

   
         Section 17.06.  No Transfer of Excess Amounts.  The Seller hereby
covenants that, except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, it will not

to the Trustee and each Rating Agency an Opinion of Counsel in form and
substance satisfactory to the Trustee stating that such transfer will not (i)
adversely affect the status of the Trust as a grantor trust pursuant to subpart
E, part I of subchapter J of the Code and (ii) cause the Reserve Fund to be
taxable as a corporation under the Code.  The Seller shall give written notice
to each Rating Agency of any proposed transfer, pledge or assignment to any
Person of all or any part of its right to receive Excess Amounts pursuant to
Section 14.07(c)(ii).

                 (ii)    Due Qualification.  The Servicer shall be duly 
         qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in good standing, and
         shall have obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in all
         jurisdictions in which the ownership or lease of property or the 
         conduct of its business (including the servicing of the Receivables 
         as required by the Agreement) shall require such qualifications.
        
               (iii)    Power and Authority.  The Servicer shall have the power
         and authority to execute and deliver the Agreement and to carry out
         its terms; and the execution, delivery and performance of the
         Agreement shall have been duly authorized by the Servicer by all
         necessary corporate action.

                (iv)    Binding Obligations.  The Agreement shall constitute a
         legal, valid and binding obligation of the Servicer enforceable in
         accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be subject to
         or limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar
         laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights in general and by
         general principles of equity, regardless of whether such
         enforceability shall be considered in a proceeding in equity or at
         law.

                 (v)    No Violation.  The consummation of the transactions
         contemplated by the Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms of the
         Agreement shall not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the
         terms and provisions of, nor constitute (with or without notice or
         lapse of time) a default under, the articles of incorporation or
         bylaws of the Servicer, or conflict with or breach any of the material
         terms or provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse
         of time) a default under, any indenture, agreement or other instrument
         to which the Servicer is a party or by which it shall be bound; nor
         result in the creation or imposition of any lien upon any of its
         properties





                                        52

         pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, agreement or other
         instrument (other than the Agreement); nor violate any law or, to the
         best of the Servicer's knowledge, any order, rule or regulation
         applicable to the Servicer of any court or of any federal or state
         regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental
         instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Servicer or its
         properties.

                (vi)    No Proceedings.  There are no proceedings or
         investigations pending, or to the Servicer's best knowledge, 
         threatened, before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency
         or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the
         Servicer or its properties:  (a) asserting the invalidity of the
         Agreement or the Certificates, (b) seeking to prevent the issuance of
         the Certificates or the consummation of any of the transactions
         contemplated by the Agreement, (c) seeking any determination or ruling
         that might materially and adversely affect the performance by the
         Servicer of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability
         of, the Agreement or the Certificates or (d) relating to the Servicer
         and which might adversely affect the federal income tax attributes of
         the Certificates.

         Section 18.02.  Liability of Servicer; Indemnities.

         (a)     The Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to
the extent of the obligations specifically undertaken by the Servicer under the
Agreement and shall have no other obligations or liabilities under the
Agreement.  Such obligations shall include the following:

                   (i)    The Servicer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless
         the Trustee, the Trust, the Certificateholders and the Letter of Credit
         Bank, if any, from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, 
         damages, claims and liabilities, arising out of or resulting from the 
         use, ownership or operation by the Servicer or any affiliate thereof of
         a Financed Vehicle.

                  (ii)    The Servicer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless
         the Trustee, the Trust and the Letter of Credit Bank, if any, from and
         against any taxes that may at any time be asserted against the Trustee,
         the Trust or the Letter of Credit Bank, if any, with respect to the
         transactions contemplated in the Agreement, including any sales, gross
         receipts, general corporation, tangible or intangible personal
         property, privilege or license taxes (but, in the case of the Trustee
         or the Trust, not including any taxes asserted with respect to, and as
         of the date of, the sale of the Receivables to the Trustee or the
         issuance and original sale of the Certificates, or asserted with
         respect to ownership of the Receivables, or federal or other income
         taxes arising out of distributions on the Certificates) and costs and
         expenses in defending against the same.
        
                  (iii)   The Servicer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless
         the Trustee, the Trust and the Certificateholders from and against any
         and all costs, expenses, losses, claims, damages and liabilities to the
         extent that such costs, expenses, losses, claims, damages or 
         liabilities arose out of, or was imposed upon the Trustee, the Trust
         or the
        
        



                                        53

         Certificate holders through the willful misfeasance, negligence or bad
         faith of the Servicer in the performance of its duties under the
         Agreement.

                  (iv)    The Servicer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless
         the Trustee from and against all costs, expenses, losses, claims,
         damages and liabilities arising out of or incurred in connection with
         the acceptance or performance of the trusts and duties herein
         contained, except to the extent that such costs, expenses, losses,
         claims, damages or liabilities shall:  (A) be due to the willful
         misfeasance, negligence or bad faith of the Trustee; (B) relate to any
         tax other than the taxes with respect to which either the Seller or the
         Servicer shall be required to indemnify the Trustee; (C) arise from the
         breach by the Trustee of any of its representations or warranties set
         forth in Section 20.14; (D) be one as to which the Seller is required
         to indemnify the Trustee; or (E) arise out of or be incurred in
         connection with the performance by the Trustee of the duties of
         successor Servicer hereunder.
        
         (b)     Indemnification under this Section shall include reasonable
fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation.  If the Servicer shall
have made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section and the recipient
thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, the recipient shall
promptly repay such amounts to the Servicer, without interest.

         Section 18.03.  Merger, Consolidation or Assumption of Obligations of
Servicer.  Any corporation (i) into which the Servicer may be merged or
consolidated, (ii) which may result from any merger or consolidation to which
the Servicer shall be a party or (iii) which may succeed to all or substantially
all of the business of the Servicer, which corporation shall execute an 
agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Servicer under the 
Agreement, shall be the successor to the Servicer under the Agreement without 
further act on the part of any of the parties to the Agreement.  The Servicer 
shall promptly provide notice and inform the Trustee and each Rating Agency of
any merger, consolidation or succession pursuant to this Section.

         Section 18.04.  Limitation on Liability of Servicer and Others.

         (a)     Neither the Servicer nor any of its directors, officers,
employees or agents shall be under any liability to the Trust, the Trustee or
the Certificateholders, except as provided in the Agreement, for any action
taken or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to the Agreement;
provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer or any
such individual against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason
of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or
by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties under the Agreement. 
The Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Servicer may
rely in good faith on any document of any kind, prima facie properly executed
and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising under the Agreement.

         (b)     Except as provided in the Agreement, the Servicer shall not be
under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that
shall not be incidental to its duties to service the Receivables in accordance
with the Agreement, and that in its opinion





                                        54
<PAGE>   61
may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Servicer
may undertake any reasonable action that it may deem necessary or desirable in 
respect of the Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties to the 
Agreement and the interests of the Certificateholders under the Agreement.

         (c)     The Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of
the Servicer may rely in good faith on the advice of counsel or on any document
of any kind, prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person
respecting any matters arising hereunder.  The Servicer shall not be under any
obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that shall not be
incidental to its obligations under the Agreement and that in its opinion may
involve it in any expense or liability.

         Section 18.05.  Servicer Not to Resign.  The Servicer shall not resign
from its obligations and duties under the Agreement except upon determination
that the performance of its duties shall no longer be permissible under
applicable law.  Any such determination permitting the resignation of the
Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered
to the Trustee.  No such resignation shall become effective until the Trustee
or a Successor Servicer shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations
of the Servicer in accordance with Section 19.02.

("Events of Default") shall occur and be continuing:

                   (i)    failure by the Servicer to deliver to the Trustee the
         Servicer's Certificate for the related Collection Period, or any
         failure by the Servicer (or, so long as the Servicer is Fleetwood
         Credit, the Seller) to deliver to the Trustee, for distribution to
         Certificateholders, any proceeds or payment required to be so
         delivered under the terms of the Certificates or the Agreement, in
         each case, that continues unremedied for a period of three Business
         Days after discovery by an officer of the Servicer (or, so long as the
         Servicer is Fleetwood Credit, the Seller) or written notice of such
         failure is given (1) to the Servicer or the Seller, as the case may
         be, by the Trustee or (2) to the Trustee and the Servicer or the
         Seller, as the case may be, by the Holders of Certificates evidencing
         not less than 25% of the Voting Interests of the Class A Certificates
         and the Class B Certificates, voting together as a single class;

                  (ii)    failure by the Servicer (or so long as the Servicer
         is Fleetwood Credit, the Seller) to duly observe or perform in any
         material respect any other covenants or agreements of the Servicer (or
         so long as the Servicer is Fleetwood Credit, the Seller) set forth in
         the Certificates or in the Agreement, which failure shall (a) 
         materially and adversely affect the rights of the Certificateholders
         and (b) continue unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on
         which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be 
         remedied, shall have been given (1) to the Servicer or the Seller, as
         the case may be, by the Trustee or (2) to the Trustee and the Servicer
         or the Seller, as the case may be, by the Holders of Certificates
         evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Interests of the Class A
         Certificates and the Class B Certificates, voting together as a single
         class;

                 (iii)    the entry of a decree or order by a court, agency or
         supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the
         appointment of a trustee in bankruptcy, conservator, receiver or
         liquidator for the Servicer (or, so long as the Servicer is Fleetwood
         Credit, the Seller) in any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of
         debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or
         for the winding up or liquidation of their respective affairs, and the
         continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a
         period of 60 consecutive days;

                  (iv)    the consent by the Servicer (or, so long as the
         Servicer is Fleetwood Credit, the Seller) to the appointment of a
         trustee in bankruptcy, conservator or receiver or liquidator in any
         bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets
         and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Servicer
         (or, so long as the Servicer is Fleetwood Credit, the Seller) of or
         relating to substantially all of its property; or admission by the
         Servicer (or, so long as the Servicer is Fleetwood Credit, the Seller)

         due,

         filing of a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or
         reorganization statute, assignment for the benefit of its creditors or
         voluntary suspension of payment of its obligations;

then, and in each and every case, so long as such Event of Default shall not
have been remedied, either the Trustee or the Holders of Certificates evidencing
not less than 51% of the Voting Interests of the Class A Certificates and the
Class B Certificates, voting together as a single class, by notice given in
writing to the Servicer (and to the Trustee if given by Class A and Class B
Certificateholders), may terminate all of the rights and obligations of the
Servicer under the Agreement.  On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such
written notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under the Agreement,
whether with respect to the Certificates, the Receivables or otherwise, shall,
without further action, pass to and be vested in the Trustee or such Successor
Servicer as may be appointed under Section 19.02; and, without limitation, the
Trustee shall be hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on
behalf of the predecessor Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and
all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or
things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of
termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of the Receivables
and related documents, or otherwise.  The predecessor Servicer shall cooperate
with the Successor Servicer and the Trustee in effecting the termination of the
responsibilities and rights of the predecessor Servicer under the Agreement,
including the transfer to the Successor Servicer for administration by it of all
cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the predecessor Servicer for
deposit, shall have been deposited by the predecessor Servicer in the
Certificate Account or shall thereafter be received with respect to a
Receivable.  All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees)
incurred in connection with transferring the Receivable Files to the Successor
Servicer and amending the Agreement to reflect such succession as Servicer
pursuant to this Section shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer upon
presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses.

         Section 19.02.  Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor Servicer.
Upon the Servicer's receipt of notice of termination pursuant to Section 19.01
or resignation pursuant to Section 18.05, the Trustee shall be the successor in
all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under the Agreement (a
"Successor Servicer"), and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties
and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and
provisions of the Agreement.  As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be
entitled to such compensation (whether payable out of the Certificate Account or
otherwise) as the Servicer would have been entitled to under the Agreement if no
such notice of termination or resignation had been given. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it
shall be legally unable so to act, appoint, or petition a court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint, any established institution, having a net worth of not
less than $100,000,000 and whose regular business shall include the servicing of
recreational vehicle or motor vehicle receivables, as Successor Servicer;
provided that the appointment of any such Successor Servicer (whether the
Trustee or another entity) will not result in the qualification, reduction or
withdrawal of the rating then assigned to the Rated Certificates by each Rating
Agency.  In connection with such appointment, the Trustee may make such
arrangements for the compensation of such Successor Servicer out of payments on
the





                                        57
<PAGE>   64

Receivables as it and such Successor Servicer shall agree; provided, however,
that such compensation shall not be in excess of that permitted the Servicer
under the Agreement.  The Trustee and such Successor Servicer shall take such
action, consistent with the Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any
such succession.  The Trustee shall not be relieved of its duties as Successor
Servicer under this Section until the newly appointed Servicer shall have
assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer under the
Agreement.

         Section 19.03.  Reimbursement for Advances.  If a Successor Servicer
replaces the Servicer, the predecessor Servicer shall be entitled to receive
reimbursement for Advances previously made by such Servicer, in the manner
specified, and to the extent provided, in Section 14.04.

         Section 19.04.  Notification of Events of Default.  Upon (i) the
occurrence of an Event of Default and the expiration of any cure period
applicable thereto or (ii) any termination of, or appointment of a successor to,
the Servicer pursuant to this Article, the Trustee shall give prompt written
notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in
the Certificate Register, to the Letter of Credit Bank, if any, and to each
Rating Agency.

         Section 19.05.  Waiver of Past Defaults.  The Holders of Class A
Certificates and Class B Certificates evidencing not less than 51% of the Voting
Interests thereof, voting together as a single class, may, on behalf of all
Holders of Certificates, waive any default by the Servicer in the performance of
its obligations under the Agreement and its consequences, except a default in
making any required deposits to or payments from the Certificate Account in
accordance with the Agreement or in respect of a covenant or provision hereof
that under Section 22.01 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of
the Holder of each Certificate.  Upon any such waiver of a past default, such
default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall
be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of the Agreement.  No such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right
consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.

                                  THE TRUSTEE

         Section 20.01.  Duties of Trustee.  The Trustee, both prior to and
after the occurrence of an Event of Default, shall undertake to perform such
duties as are specifically set forth in the Agreement.  If an Event of Default
shall have occurred and shall not have been cured or waived, the Trustee shall
exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by the Agreement, and shall
use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would
exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs;
provided, however, that if the Trustee shall become a Successor Servicer
pursuant to Section 19.02, the Trustee in performing such duties shall use the
degree of skill and attention customarily exercised by a servicer with respect
to recreational vehicle or motor vehicle receivables that it services for itself
or others.

         The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements,
opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the 
Trustee that shall be specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any 
provision of the Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they conform
to the requirements of the Agreement.

         No provision of the Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee
from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, 
its own bad faith or its own willful misfeasance; provided, however, that:

                   (i)    prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and
         
         after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default that may have
         occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined
         solely by the express provisions of the Agreement, the Trustee shall
         not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations
         as shall be specifically set forth in the Agreement, no implied
         covenants or obligations shall be read into the Agreement against the
         Trustee, the permissive right of the Trustee to do things enumerated in
         the Agreement shall not be construed as a duty and, in the absence of
         bad faith on the part of the Trustee or manifest error, the Trustee may
         conclusively rely on the truth of the statements and the correctness of
         the opinions expressed upon any certificates or opinions furnished to
         the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of the Agreement;  

                  (ii)    the Trustee shall not be personally liable for an
         error of judgment made in good faith by an Authorized Officer, unless
         it shall be proved that the Trustee shall have been negligent in
         performing its duties in accordance with the terms of the Agreement;
         and

                 (iii)    the Trustee shall not be personally liable with
         respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken in good
         faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of Certificates
         evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Interests of the Class A
         Certificates and the Class B Certificates, voting together as a single
         class, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any
         proceeding for any remedy





                                        59

         available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred
upon the Trustee, under the Agreement.

         The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or 
otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties 
under the Agreement, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there
shall be reasonable grounds for believing that the repayment of such funds or
adequate indemnity against such risk or liability shall not be reasonably 
assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in the Agreement shall in
any event require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of 
performance of, any of the obligations of the Servicer under the Agreement 
except during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and
be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Servicer in
accordance with the terms of the Agreement.
        
         Except for actions expressly authorized by the Agreement, the Trustee
shall take no action reasonably likely to impair the security interests created
or existing under any Receivable or to impair the value of any Receivable.

         All information obtained by the Trustee regarding the Obligors and the
Receivables, whether upon the exercise of its rights under the Agreement or
otherwise, shall be maintained by the Trustee in confidence and shall not be
disclosed to any other Person, unless such disclosure is required by any
applicable law or regulation.

         Section 20.02.  Trustee's Certificate.  On or as soon as practicable
after each Record Date as of which Receivables shall be assigned to the Seller
or the Servicer, as applicable, pursuant to Section 20.03, the Trustee shall
execute a Trustee's Certificate, based on the information contained in the
Servicer's Certificate for the related Collection Period, amounts deposited to
the Certificate Account and notices received pursuant to the Agreement,
identifying the Receivables repurchased by the Seller pursuant to Section 12.02
or 21.02 or purchased by the Servicer pursuant to Section 13.07 or 21.02 during
such Collection Period, and shall deliver such Trustee's Certificate,
accompanied by a copy of the Servicer's Certificate for such Collection Period
to the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be.  The Trustee's Certificate
submitted with respect to such Distribution Date shall operate, as of such
Distribution Date, as an assignment, without recourse, representation or
warranty, to the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, of all the
Trustee's right, title and interest in and to such Repurchased Receivable and
to the other property conveyed to the Trust pursuant to Section 12.01 with
respect to such Repurchased Receivable, and all security and documents relating
thereto, such assignment being an assignment outright and not for security.

         Section 20.03.  Trustee's Assignment of Repurchased and Removed
Receivables.  With respect to Receivables repurchased by the Seller pursuant to
Section 12.02 or 21.02 or purchased by the Servicer pursuant to Section 13.07
or 21.02, the Trustee shall by a Trustee's Certificate assign, without recourse,
representation or warranty, to the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be,
all the Trustee's right, title and interest in and to such Receivable and the 
other property conveyed to the Trust pursuant to Section 2.01 with respect to 
such Receivable, and all security and documents relating thereto, such 
assignment being an assignment outright and not for security. If, in any 
enforcement suit or legal proceeding, it shall be held that the





                                        60
<PAGE>   67

Servicer may not enforce a Receivable on the ground that it shall not be a real
party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the Receivable, the Trustee
shall, at the Servicer's expense, take such steps as the Trustee deems necessary
to enforce the Receivable, including bringing suit in the name of the Trustee or
the names of the Certificateholders.

         Section 20.04.  Certain Matters Affecting Trustee.

         (a)     Except as otherwise provided in Section 20.01:

                   (i)    the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting
         or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate of auditors
         or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
         notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or
         document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or
         presented by the proper party or parties;

                  (ii)    the Trustee may consult with counsel and any Opinion
         of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in
         respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it under the
         Agreement in good faith and in accordance with such Opinion of Counsel;

                 (iii)    the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise
         any of the rights or powers vested in it by the Agreement, or to
         institute, conduct or defend any litigation under the Agreement or in
         relation to the Agreement, at the request, order or direction of any
         of the Certificateholders pursuant to the provisions of the Agreement,
         unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee
         reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and
         liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby; however, nothing
         contained in the Agreement shall relieve the Trustee of its obligation,
         upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (that shall not have been 
         cured or waived), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in
         it by the Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in
         their exercise as a prudent man would exercise or use under the 
         circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs;

                  (iv)    the Trustee shall not be personally liable for any
         action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by
         it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers
         conferred upon it by the Agreement;

                   (v)    prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and
         after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default that may have
         occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation
         into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate,
         statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent,
         order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in
         writing to do so by Holders of Class A Certificates and Class B
         Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Interests
         thereof, voting together as a single class; provided, however, that if
         the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs,
         expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of
         such investigation shall be, in the opinion of the Trustee, not
         reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded





                                        61
<PAGE>   68
         to it by the terms of the Agreement, the Trustee may require
         reasonable indemnity against such cost, expense or liability as a
         condition to so proceeding; the reasonable expense of every such
         examination shall be paid by the Seller or the Servicer, as the case
         may be, or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the
         Servicer upon demand; and nothing in this clause (v) shall affect the
         obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting
         disclosure of information regarding the Obligors; and

                  (vi)    the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
         hereunder or perform any duties under the Agreement either directly or
         by or through agents or attorneys or a custodian.

         (b)     No Certificateholder will have any right to institute any
proceeding with respect to the Agreement, unless such Holder shall have given
to the Trustee written notice of default and (i) the Event of Default arises
from the Servicer's failure to remit collections or payments when due or (ii)
the Holders of Class A Certificates and Class B Certificates evidencing not
less than 25% of the Voting Interests thereof, voting together as a single
class, have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such proceeding
in its own name as Trustee thereunder, and have offered to the Trustee
reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee for 30 days has neglected or refused to
institute any such proceedings.

         Section 20.05.  Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Receivables.
The Trustee shall make no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of
the Agreement or of the Certificates (other than the execution by the Trustee
on behalf of the Trust of, and the certificate of authentication on, the
Certificates) or of any Receivable or related document.  The Trustee shall have
no obligation to perform any of the duties of the Seller or Servicer unless
explicitly set forth in the Agreement.  The Trustee shall at no time have any
responsibility or liability for or with respect to the legality, validity and
enforceability of any security interest in any Financed Vehicle or any
Receivable, or the perfection and priority of such a security interest or the
maintenance of any such perfection and priority; the efficacy of the Trust or
its ability to generate the payments to be distributed to Certificateholders
under the Agreement; the existence, condition, location and ownership of any
Financed Vehicle; the existence and enforceability of any physical damage or
credit life or credit disability insurance; the existence and contents of any
Receivable or any computer or other record thereof; the validity of the
assignment of any Receivable to the Trust or of any intervening assignment; the
completeness of any Receivable; the performance or enforcement of any
Receivable; the compliance by the Seller or the Servicer with any warranty or
representation made under the Agreement or in any related document and the
accuracy of any such warranty or representation prior to the Trustee's receipt
of notice or other discovery of any noncompliance therewith or any breach
thereof; any investment of monies by the Servicer or any loss resulting 
therefrom (it being understood that the Trustee shall remain responsible for
any Trust property that it may hold); the acts or omissions of the Seller, the
Servicer or any Obligor; any action of the Servicer taken in the name of the
Trustee; or any action by the Trustee taken at the instruction of the Servicer;
provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve the Trustee of its
obligation to perform its duties under the Agreement.  Except with respect to a
claim based on the failure of the Trustee to perform its duties under the





                                        62
<PAGE>   69

Agreement or based on the Trustee's willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence
no recourse shall be had for any claim based on any provision of the Agreement,
the Certificates or any Receivable or assignment thereof against the Trustee in
its individual capacity.  The Trustee shall not have any personal obligation,
liability or duty whatsoever to any Certificateholder or any other Person with
respect to any such claim, and any such claim shall be asserted solely against
the Trust or any indemnitor who shall furnish indemnity as provided in the
Agreement.  The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by
the Seller of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds thereof, or for the
use or application of any funds paid to the Servicer in respect of the
Receivables.

         Section 20.06.  Trustee May Own Certificates.  The Trustee in its
individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates
with the same rights as it would have if it were not Trustee.

         Section 20.07.  Trustee's Fees and Expenses.  The Servicer shall 
covenant and agree to pay to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall be entitled to,
reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in
regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) for all services
rendered by it in connection with the execution of the trusts created by the
Agreement and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties
under the Agreement of the Trustee, and the Servicer shall pay or reimburse the
Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances
(including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its
counsel and of all individuals not regularly in its employ) incurred or made by
the Trustee in defense of any action brought against it in connection with the
Agreement except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its
negligence, willful misfeasance or bad faith or that is the responsibility of
Certificateholders under the Agreement.  Additionally, the Servicer, pursuant to
Section 18.02, shall indemnify the Trustee with respect to certain matters, and
Certificateholders, pursuant to Section 20.04 shall, upon the circumstances
therein set forth, indemnify the Trustee under certain circumstances.

         Section 20.08.  Indemnity of Trustee and Successor Servicer.  Upon the
appointment of a Successor Servicer pursuant to Section 19.02, such Successor
Servicer and the Trustee and their respective agents and employees shall be
indemnified by the Trust and held harmless against any loss, liability, or
expense (including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses) arising out of or
incurred in connection with the acceptance of performance of the trusts and
duties contained in the Agreement to the extent that (i) the Successor Servicer
or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall not be indemnified for such loss,
liability or expense by the Servicer pursuant to Section 18.02; (ii) such loss,
liability or expense shall not have been incurred by reason of the Successor
Servicer's or the Trustee's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence; and
(iii) such loss, liability or expense shall not have been incurred by reason of
the Successor Servicer's or the Trustee's breach of its respective
representations and warranties pursuant to Sections 18.01 and 20.14,
respectively.

         The Successor Servicer and/or the Trustee shall be entitled to the
indemnification provided by this Section only to the extent all amounts due the
Class A Certificateholders and the Class B Certificateholders with respect to
any Distribution Date pursuant to Section 14.07





                                        63
<PAGE>   70

have been paid in full and all amounts required to be deposited in the Reserve
Fund with respect to any Distribution Date pursuant to Section 14.07(b)(i) have
been so deposited.

         Section 20.09.  Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.  The Trustee
under the Agreement shall at all times be a corporation having its corporate
trust office in the same State as the location of the Corporate Trust Office as
specified in the Agreement, organized and doing business under the laws of such
State or the United States, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate
trust powers, have a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 and
subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and, if
required by any Rating Agency, having the Required Long Term Debt Rating.

         If the Trustee shall publish reports of condition at least annually,
pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining
authority, then for the purpose of this Section, the combined capital and 
surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and 
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.  In
case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner
and with the effect specified in Section 20.10.

         Section 20.10.  Resignation or Removal of Trustee.  The Trustee may at
any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving
written notice thereof to the Servicer.  Upon receiving such notice of
resignation, the Servicer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee by written
instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to
the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor Trustee.  If no successor
Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30
days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Trustee.

         If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of Section 20.09 and shall fail to resign after written
request therefor by the Servicer, or if at any time the Trustee shall be
legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a
receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or
affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then
the Servicer may remove the Trustee.  If it shall remove the Trustee under the
authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Servicer shall promptly
appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of
which shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor
Trustee and payment of all fees owed to the outgoing Trustee.

         Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor Trustee pursuant to this Section shall not become effective until
acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee pursuant to Section 20.11.

         Section 20.11.  Successor Trustee.  Any successor Trustee appointed
pursuant to Section 20.10 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the
Servicer and to its predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment
under the Agreement, and thereupon the





                                        64
<PAGE>   71

resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee shall become effective and
such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall
become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its
predecessor under the Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as
Trustee.  The predecessor Trustee shall deliver to the successor Trustee all
documents and statements and monies held by it under the Agreement; and the
Servicer and the predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments
and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly
vesting and confirming in the successor Trustee all such rights, powers, duties
and obligations.

         No successor Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be
eligible pursuant to Section 20.09.

         Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee pursuant to this
Section, the Servicer shall mail notice of the successor of such Trustee under
the Agreement to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the
Certificate Register and shall give notice by mail to the Rating Agencies.  If
the Servicer shall fail to mail such notice within ten days after acceptance of
appointment by the successor Trustee, the successor Trustee shall cause such
notice to be mailed at the expense of the Servicer.

         Section 20.12.  Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.  Any corporation
(i) into which the Trustee may be merged or consolidated, (ii) which may result
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a
party or (iii) which may succeed to the business of the Trustee, which
corporation executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of
the Trustee under the Agreement, shall be the successor of the Trustee
hereunder, provided such corporation shall be eligible pursuant to Section
20.09, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act on
the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.  Notice of any such merger shall be given by the Trustee to the
Rating Agencies.

         Section 20.13.  Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Agreement, at any time, for the
purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part
of the Trust or any Financed Vehicle may at the time be located, the Servicer
and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and
deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee
to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate
trustees, of all or any part of the Trust, and to vest in such Person, in such
capacity and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust,
or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such
powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Servicer and the Trustee
may consider necessary or desirable.  If the Servicer shall not have joined in
such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do,
or in the case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or
separate trustee under the Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of
eligibility as a successor Trustee pursuant to Section 20.09 and no notice of a
successor Trustee pursuant to Section 20.11 and no notice to Certificateholders
of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required
pursuant to Section 20.11.





                                        65
<PAGE>   72

         Each separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by
law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

                   (i)    all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred
         or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred upon and exercised or
         performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee
         jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee
         is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in
         such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction
         in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as
         Trustee under the Agreement or as successor to the Servicer under the
         Agreement), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform
         such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and
         obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust or any
         portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and
         performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at
         the direction of the Trustee;

                  (ii)    no trustee under the Agreement shall be personally
         liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee under the
         Agreement; and

                 (iii)    the Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly may at
         any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or
         co-trustee.

         Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees,
as effectively as if given to each of them.  Every instrument appointing any 
separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to the Agreement and the conditions
of this Article.  Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of
the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in
its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as
may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of the Agreement,
specifically including every provision of the Agreement relating to the conduct
of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee.  Each
such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the
Servicer.

         Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the Trustee,
its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not
prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of the Agreement on
its behalf and in its name.  If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die,
become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
successor trustee.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement,
the appointment of any separate trustee or co-trustee shall not relieve the
Trustee of its obligations and duties under the Agreement.

         Section 20.14.  Representations and Warranties of Trustee.  The
Trustee shall make the following representations and warranties on which the
Seller and Certificateholders may rely:





                                        66
<PAGE>   73

                   (i)    Organization and Good Standing.  The Trustee is a
         banking corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good
         standing under the laws of its place of incorporation.

                  (ii)    Power and Authority.  The Trustee has full power,
         authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform its duties
         and obligations under the Agreement, and shall have taken all
         necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance
         by it of the Agreement.

                 (iii)    No Violation.  The execution, delivery and performance
         by the Trustee of the Agreement (a) shall not violate any provision of
         any law governing the banking and trust powers of the Trustee or, to
         the best of the Trustee's knowledge, any order, writ, judgment or
         decree of any court, arbitrator or governmental authority applicable to
         the Trustee or any of its assets, (b) shall not violate any provision
         of the corporate charter or by-laws of the Trustee and (c) shall not
         violate any provision of, constitute, with or without notice or lapse
         of time, a default under or result in the creation or imposition of any
         Lien on any properties included in the Trust pursuant to the provisions
         of any mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement or other undertaking to
         which it is a party, which violation, default or Lien could reasonably
         be expected to materially and adversely affect the Trustee's
         performance or ability to perform its duties under the Agreement or the
         transactions contemplated in the Agreement.

                  (iv)    No Authorization Required.  The execution, delivery
         and performance by the Trustee of the Agreement shall not require the
         authorization, consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the
         filing or registration with or the taking of any other action in
         respect of, any governmental authority or agency regulating the
         banking and corporate trust activities of the Trustee.

                   (v)    Duly Executed.  The Agreement shall have been duly
         executed and delivered by the Trustee and shall constitute the legal,
         valid and binding agreement of the Trustee, enforceable in accordance
         with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy,
         insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the
         enforcement of creditors' rights in general and by general principles
         of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability shall be
         considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

                               ARTICLE TWENTY ONE

                                  TERMINATION

         Section 21.01.  Termination of the Trust.  The Trust and the respective
obligations and responsibilities of the Seller, the Servicer, any Letter of 
Credit Bank and the Trustee shall terminate upon the first to occur of (i) the
purchase on any Distribution Date by the Seller or the Servicer, or any
successor to the Servicer, at its option, pursuant to Section 21.02, of the
corpus of the Trust, (ii) the payment to Certificateholders of all amounts
required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement, (iii) the maturity or
liquidation of the last Receivable and the disposition of all property held as
part of the Trust or (iv) the sale by the Trustee of all of the Receivables
remaining in the Trust pursuant to Section 21.03; provided, however, that in no
event shall the trust created by the Agreement continue beyond the expiration of
21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of George
Herbert Walker Bush of the State of Texas living on the date of the Agreement.
The Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee of any prospective termination
pursuant to this Section.

         Notice of any termination, specifying the Distribution Date upon which
Certificateholders are expected to be able to surrender their Certificates to
the Trustee for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be
given promptly by the Trustee by letter to Certificateholders and each Rating
Agency mailed not earlier than the 15th day and not later than the 25th day of
the month next preceding the specified Distribution Date stating (i) the
Distribution Date upon which final payment of the Certificates shall be made
upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Trustee
therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii) if
applicable, that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date
is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of
the Certificates at the office of the Trustee therein specified. The Trustee
shall give such notice to the Certificate Registrar (if other than the Trustee)
and the Letter of Credit Bank, if any, at the time such notice is given to
Certificateholders.  Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the
Trustee shall cause to be distributed to Certificateholders amounts
distributable on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 14.07.

         In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender
their Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date specified
in the above-mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written
notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for
cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto.  If within
one year after the second notice all the Certificates shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may
appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining
Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost
thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets that shall remain
subject to the Agreement.  Any funds remaining in the Trust after exhaustion of
such remedies shall be distributed by the Trustee to the United Way.

         As soon as practicable after the Distribution Date specified for the
final distribution or upon such other date upon which all amounts to be paid to
the Certificateholders pursuant to





                                        68
<PAGE>   75

the Agreement have been paid, the Trustee shall surrender the Servicer Letter
of Credit to the Letter of Credit Bank for cancellation.

         Section 21.02.  Optional Purchase of All Receivables.  On each
Distribution Date following a Record Date as of which the Pool Balance is 10% or
less of the Original Pool Balance, the Seller or the Servicer, or any successor
to the Servicer, shall have the option to purchase the corpus of the Trust;
provided that the option to purchase provided in this Section shall not be
exercised if the final distribution to Certificateholders would be less than the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Certificates plus the sum of (i)
the Class A Interest Distributable Amount for the related Distribution Date,
(ii) any outstanding Class A Interest Carryover Shortfall, (iii) the Class B
Interest Distributable Amount for such Distribution Date and (iv) any
outstanding Class B Interest Carryover Shortfall.  To exercise such option, the
Seller or the Servicer, or any successor to the Servicer, as the case may be,
shall notify the Trustee in writing, no later than the tenth day of the month in
which the Record Date as of which such purchase is to be effected and, if there
are any Book-Entry Certificates, the Clearing Agency in accordance with the
Letter of Representations, and shall deposit pursuant to Section 14.06 in the
Certificate Account an amount equal to the aggregate Repurchase Amount for the
Receivables (including Defaulted Receivables), plus the appraised value of any
other property held by the Trust (less liquidation expenses), such value to be
determined by an appraiser mutually agreed upon by the Servicer and the Trustee,
and shall succeed to all interests in and to the Trust; provided, however, the
Seller or the Servicer, or any successor to the Servicer, as the case may be,
may not effect any such purchase if the long-term unsecured debt obligations of
the related entity are rated less than Baa3, unless the Trustee shall have
received an Opinion of Counsel that such purchase will not constitute a
fraudulent conveyance.  The payment shall be made in the manner specified in
Section 14.06(a)(i), and shall be distributed pursuant to Section 14.07.  In the
event that both the Seller and the Servicer, or any successor to the Servicer,
elect to purchase the Receivables pursuant to this Section, the party first
notifying the Trustee (based on the Trustee's receipt of such notice) shall be
permitted to purchase the Receivables.

   
         Section 21.03.  Sale of All Receivables.  If neither the Seller nor
the Servicer exercises its optional termination right pursuant to Section 21.02
within 90 days after the Record Date as of which such right can first be
exercised, in accordance with the procedures and schedule set forth as an
Exhibit to the Agreement (the "Auction Procedures"), the Trustee shall conduct
an auction (the "Auction") of the Receivables remaining in the Trust (such
Receivables hereinafter referred to as the "Auction Property") in order to
effect a termination of the Trust pursuant to clause (iv) of the first paragraph
of Section 21.01 on the second Distribution Date succeeding the Record Date on
which the Pool Balance is 10% or less of the Original Pool Balance and the
aggregate principal balance of all Subsequent Receivables conveyed to the Trust
as of the related Subsequent Cutoff Dates.  Fleetwood Credit may, but shall not
be required to, bid at the Auction.  The Trustee shall sell and transfer the
Auction Property to the highest bidder therefor at the Auction provided that:
    

                  (i)    the Auction has been conducted in accordance with the
         Auction Procedures;





                                        69

<PAGE>   76
                  (ii)    the Trustee has received good faith bids for the
         Auction Property from at least two bidders;

                 (iii)    one or more financial advisors, as advisor to the
         Trustee (each, an "Advisor"), shall have advised the Trustee in writing
         that at least two of such bidders (including the winning bidder) are
         participants in the market for motor vehicle retail installment sale
         contracts willing and able to purchase the Auction Property;

                  (iv)    the highest bid in respect of the Auction Property is
         not less than the aggregate fair market value of the Auction Property
         (as set forth in a written opinion of the Advisor to the Trustee);

                   (v)    any bid submitted by Fleetwood Credit or any affiliate
         of Fleetwood Credit shall reasonably represent the fair market value of
         the Auction Property, as independently verified and represented in 
         writing by a qualified independent third party evaluator (which may 
         include an investment banking firm), selected be the Trustee; and

                  (vi)    the highest bid would result in proceeds from the
         sale of the Auction Property which will be at least equal to the sum of
         (a) the greater of (1) the aggregate Repurchase Amounts for the
         Receivables (including Defaulted Receivables), plus the appraised value
         of any other property held by the Trust (less liquidation expenses) or
         (2) an amount that when added to amounts on deposit in the Certificate
         Account that would constitute Available Funds for such second
         succeeding Distribution Date would result in proceeds sufficient to
         distribute the sum of (A) the Class A Distributable Amount plus any
         unpaid Class A Interest Carryover Shortfall and any unpaid Class A
         Principal Carryover Shortfall with respect to one or more prior
         Distribution Dates, and (B) the Class B Distributable Amount plus any
         unpaid Class B Interest Carryover Shortfall and any unpaid Class B
         Principal Carryover Shortfall, and (b) the sum of (1) an amount
         sufficient to reimburse the Servicer for any unreimbursed Advances and
         (2) the Servicing Fee payable on such final Distribution Date, 
         including any unpaid Servicing Fees with respect to one or more prior
         Collection Periods.
         
         Provided that all of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through 
(vi) above have been met, the Trustee shall sell and transfer the Auction
Property, without recourse, to such highest bidder in accordance with and upon
completion of the Auction Procedures.  The Trustee shall deposit the purchase
price for the Auction Property in the Certificate Account at least one Business
Day prior to such second succeeding Distribution Date.  In addition, the Auction
must stipulate that the Servicer be retained to service the Receivables on terms
substantially similar to those in the Agreement.  In the event that any of such
conditions are not met or such highest bidder fails or refuses to comply with
any of the Auction Procedures, the Trustee shall decline to consummate such sale
and transfer.  In the event such sale and transfer is not consummated in
accordance with the foregoing, however, the Trustee may from time to time in the
future, but shall not under any further obligation to, solicit bids for sale of
the assets of the Trust upon the same terms and conditions as set forth above.

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

         Section 22.01.  Amendment.  The Agreement may be amended by the Seller,
the Servicer and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the
Certificateholders or the Letter of Credit Bank, if any, (a) to cure any
ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision in the Agreement which may be
inconsistent with any other provision of the Agreement, or to add, change or
eliminate any other provision with respect to matters or questions arising under
the Agreement that shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of the
Agreement, (b) to change the formula for determining the Specified Reserve Fund
Balance or the manner in which the Reserve Fund is funded and (c) to amend or
modify any provisions in the Agreement relating to the Servicer Letter of
Credit, if any, or the acquisition thereof (provided that no such amendment or
modification pursuant to this clause (c) shall be made without the consent of
the Letter of Credit Bank, if any, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld); provided, however, that for purposes of clauses (a) through (c)
above, no such amendment shall, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, adversely
affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder (including
any amendment that would adversely affect the Trust's status as a grantor trust
for federal income tax purposes) and provided, further, that prior to changing
the formula for determining the Specified Reserve Fund Balance or the manner in
which the Reserve Fund is funded or amending or modifying any provisions
relating to the Servicer Letter of Credit or the Letter of Credit Bank, if any,
the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a letter from each Rating Agency to
the effect that such revised formula will not cause the rating then assigned to
the Rated Certificates to be qualified, reduced or withdrawn.

         The Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Seller, the
Servicer and the Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 51% of the Voting Interests of each Class of
Certificates, voting together as a single class, and upon not less than two
weeks' prior notice to each Rating Agency, for the purpose of adding any
provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of
the Agreement, or of modifying in any manner the rights of the
Certificateholders or the Letter of Credit Bank, if any; provided, however, that
no such amendment shall (i) except as otherwise provided in the first paragraph
of this Section, increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate
or delay the timing of, collections of payments of the Receivables, or
distributions that shall be required to be made on any Certificate or to or by
the Letter of Credit Bank, if any, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of
the Voting Interests of the Certificates of each Class required to consent to
any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of
such Class then outstanding.  The Trustee shall furnish written notification of
the substance of such amendment or consent to each Certificateholder and to the
Letter of Credit Bank, if any.

         It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders
pursuant to this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed
amendment or consent, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve
the substance thereof.  The manner of obtaining such





                                        71
<PAGE>   78

consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by
Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable requirements as the
Trustee may prescribe.

         Prior to the execution of any amendment to the Agreement, the Trustee
shall be entitled to receive and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that
the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by the Agreement.
The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment
which affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under the Agreement
or otherwise.

         Section 22.02.  Protection of Title to Trust.

         (a)     Each of the Seller and the Servicer shall execute and file
such financing statements and cause to be executed and filed such continuation
statements, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law
fully to preserve, maintain and protect the interest of the Certificateholders,
the Letter of Credit Bank, if any, and the Trustee in the Receivables and in
the proceeds thereof.  Each of the Seller and the Servicer shall deliver (or
cause to be delivered) to the Trustee file-stamped copies of, or filing
receipts for, any document filed as provided above, as soon as available
following such filing.

         (b)     Neither the Seller nor the Servicer shall change its name,
identity or corporate structure in any manner that would, could or might make
any financing statement or continuation statement filed by the Servicer in
accordance with paragraph (a) above seriously misleading within the meaning of
Section 9-402(7) of the UCC, unless it shall have given the Trustee at least 60
days' prior written notice thereof and shall have promptly filed appropriate
amendments to all previously filed financing statements or continuation
statements.

         (c)     The Seller and the Servicer shall give the Trustee at least 60
days' prior written notice of any relocation of their respective principal
executive offices if, as a result of such relocation, the applicable provisions
of the UCC would require the filing of any amendment of any previously filed
financing or continuation statement or of any new financing statement and shall
promptly file any such amendment.  The Servicer shall at all times maintain
each office from which it shall service the Receivables, and its principal
executive office, within the United States.

         (d)     The Servicer shall maintain accounts and records as to each
Receivable accurately and in sufficient detail to permit (i) the reader thereof
to know at any time the status of such Receivable, including payments and
recoveries made and payments owing (and the nature of each) and (ii)
reconciliation between payments or recoveries on (or with respect to) each
Receivable and the amounts from time to time deposited in the Certificate
Account in respect of such Receivable.

         (e)     The Servicer shall maintain its computer systems so that, from
and after the time of sale under the Agreement of the Receivables to the
Trustee, the Servicer's master computer records (including any back-up archives)
that refer to a Receivable shall indicate clearly the interest of the particular
grantor trust in such Receivable and that such Receivable is owned by the
Trustee.  Indication of the Trustee's ownership of a Receivable shall be





                                        72
<PAGE>   79
deleted from or modified on the Servicer's computer systems when, and only
when, the Receivable shall have been paid in full, repurchased or assigned
pursuant to the Agreement.

         (f)     If at any time the Seller or the Servicer shall propose to
sell, grant a security interest in or otherwise transfer any interest in
recreational vehicle receivables to any prospective purchaser, lender or other
transferee, the Servicer shall give to such prospective purchaser, creditor or
other transferee computer tapes, records or print-outs (including any restored
from back-up archives) that, if they shall refer in any manner whatsoever to
any Receivable, shall indicate clearly that such Receivable has been sold and
is owned by the Trustee.

         (g)     The Servicer shall permit the Trustee and its agents at any
time during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice to inspect, audit
and make copies of and abstracts from the Servicer's records regarding any
Receivable.

         (h)     Upon request, the Servicer shall furnish to the Trustee,
within five Business Days, a list of all Receivables (by contract number and
name of Obligor) then held as part of the Trust, together with a reconciliation
of such list to the Schedule of Receivables and to each of the Servicer's
Certificates furnished before such request indicating removal of Receivables
from the Trust.

         (i)     The Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee promptly after the
execution and delivery of the Agreement and of each amendment thereto, an
Opinion of Counsel either (A) stating that, in the opinion of such Counsel, all
financing statements and continuation statements have been executed and filed
that are necessary fully to preserve and protect the interest of the Trustee in
the Receivables, and reciting the details of such filings or referring to prior
Opinions of Counsel in which such details are given or (B) stating that, in the
opinion of such Counsel, no such action shall be necessary to preserve and
protect such interest.

         (j)     The Seller shall, to the extent required by applicable law,
cause the Certificates to be registered with the Commission pursuant to Section
12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act within the time periods specified in such
sections.

         (k)     For the purpose of facilitating the execution of the Agreement
and for other purposes, the Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any
number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed to be an
original, and all of which counterparts shall constitute but one and the same
instrument.

         Section 22.03.  Limitation on Certificateholder Rights.  The death or
incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate the Agreement
or the Trust, nor entitle such Certificateholder's legal representatives or
heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or commence any proceeding in
any court for a partition or winding up of the Trust, nor otherwise affect the
rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties to the Agreement or any of
them.





                                        73
<PAGE>   80

         No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as provided
in Sections 19.05 and 22.01) or in any manner otherwise control the operation
and management of the Trust, or the obligations of the parties to the
Agreement, nor shall anything set forth in the Agreement or contained in the
terms of the Certificates, be construed so as to constitute the holders from
time to time as partners or members of an association; nor shall any
Certificateholder be under any liability to any third party by reason of any
action taken pursuant to any provision of the Agreement.

         No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue or by availing
itself of any provisions of the Agreement to institute any suit, action or
proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to the Agreement,
unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice
of default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless
also the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting
Interests of the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates, voting
together as a single class, shall have made written request upon the Trustee to
institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee under the
Agreement and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it
may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein
or thereby, and the Trustee, for 30 days after its receipt of such notice,
request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute
any such action, suit or proceeding; no one or more Holders of Certificates
shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing itself or
themselves of any provisions of the Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice
the rights of the Holders of any other of the Certificates, or to obtain or
seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to
enforce any right, under the Agreement except in the manner provided in the
Agreement and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all
Certificateholders.  For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of
this Section, each Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such
relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

         Section 22.04.  Governing Law.  The Agreement shall be construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of California and the obligations, rights
and remedies of the parties under the Agreement shall be determined in
accordance with such laws, provided however, the immunities, authority and
standard of care of the Trustee shall be governed by the jurisdiction in which
its principal office is located.

under the Agreement shall be in writing, personally delivered or mailed by
certified mail, return receipt requested, and shall be deemed to have been duly

mailed to a Certificateholder shall be given by first class mail, postage
prepaid, at the address of such Holder as shown in the Certificate Register.
Any notice so mailed within the time prescribed in the Agreement shall be
conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the
Certificateholder shall receive such notice.

         Section 22.06.  Severability of Provisions.  If any one or more of the
covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of the Agreement shall be for any
reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or
terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements,
provisions or terms of the Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or
enforceability of the other covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of the
Agreement or of the Certificates or the rights of the Holders thereof.

         Section 22.07.  Assignment.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, except as provided in Sections 17.03 and 18.03 and as
provided in the provisions of the Agreement concerning the resignation of the
Servicer, the Agreement may not be assigned by the Seller or the Servicer
without the prior written consent of the Trustee and the Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 51% of the Voting Interests of the Class A Certificates
and the Class B Certificates, voting together as a single class.

         Section 22.08.  Certificates Nonassessable and Fully Paid.  The
interests represented by the Certificates shall be nonassessable for any losses

thereof by the Trustee pursuant to Section 16.02, 16.03, 16.04, 16.08, 16.09 or
16.11, each of the related Certificates shall be deemed fully paid.

not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against the
Seller any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation
proceeding or other proceedings under any federal or state bankruptcy or
similar law.  This Section shall survive the termination of the Agreement or
the termination of the Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, under the
Agreement.

Attention:  Corporate Trust Office

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         At the request and for the account of our customer, Fleetwood Credit
Corp., a California corporation ("Fleetwood Credit"), we (the "Letter of Credit
Bank") hereby establish in your favor this Servicer Letter of Credit, wherein
you, as trustee (the "Trustee") under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the
"Pooling and Servicing Agreement") dated as of ________ 1, ____, among Fleetwood
Credit Receivables Corp. ("FCRC"), Fleetwood Credit and you, pursuant to which
$______________ in aggregate principal amount of Asset Backed Certificates (the
"Certificates") of the Fleetwood Credit Grantor Trust (the "Trust") have been
issued, are hereby irrevocably authorized to draw upon the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth, in an aggregate amount not exceeding $__________________
(hereinafter, as reduced from time to time in accordance with the provisions
hereof, the "Stated Amount").  This Servicer Letter of Credit is effective
immediately and expires at the close of business on _______________, ____ (the
"Expiration Date") at the counters of the Letter of Credit Bank's _____________
Branch.

         Funds under this Servicer Letter of Credit are available to you against
your written certificate signed by one who states therein that he is your duly
authorized officer, appropriately completed, in the form of Annex 1 hereto for
payment of certain amounts due from, but unpaid by, Fleetwood Credit under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

         We hereby agree that each demand made under and in compliance with the
terms of this Servicer Letter of Credit will be duly honored by us upon due
delivery of the certificate(s), as specified above, appropriately completed
(together with such enclosures, if any, required thereby), if presented as
specified on or before the expiration date hereof.  If a presentation in respect
of payment is made by you hereunder at or prior to 12:00 Noon, [LOS ANGELES]
time, on a Business Day, and provided that the documents so presented conform to
the terms and conditions hereof, payment shall be made to you of the amount
specified, in immediately available funds, not later than 9:00 a.m., [LOS
ANGELES] time, on the following





                                        A-1
<PAGE>   83

Business Day.  If a presentation in respect of payment is made by you hereunder
after 12:00 Noon, [LOS ANGELES] time, on a Business Day, such presentation shall
be deemed to have been made prior to 12:00 Noon, [LOS ANGELES] time, on the next
succeeding Business Day.  You agree to use your best efforts to provide us
telephonic notice at the time any presentation in respect of payment is made
hereunder; provided, however, that failure to provide such telephonic notice
shall not affect our obligation to make payment in respect of any such
presentation in respect of payment.  If requested by you, payment under this
Servicer Letter of Credit will be wire transferred to an account specified by
the Trustee in the related certificate.  As used herein, "Business Day" shall
mean any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday, or a day on which the Trustee or
banking institutions in New York, New York or [LOS ANGELES], California shall be
authorized or obligated by law, executive order or governmental decree to be
closed.

         If a drawing made by you hereunder does not, in any instance, conform
to the terms and conditions of this Servicer Letter of Credit, we shall give
you prompt notice that the purported drawing was not effected in accordance
with the terms and conditions of this Servicer Letter of Credit, stating the
reasons therefor and that we are holding any documents presented in connection
therewith at your disposal or are returning the same to you, as we may elect.

         Only you, as Trustee, may make a drawing under this Servicer Letter of
Credit.  Upon the payment of the amount specified in the related certificate(s)
presented hereunder, we shall be fully discharged of our obligation under this
Servicer Letter of Credit with respect to such certificate(s) and we shall not
thereafter be obligated to make any further payments under this Servicer Letter
of Credit in respect of such certificate(s) to you or any other person.  By
paying to you an amount demanded in accordance herewith, we make no
representation as to the correctness of the amount demanded.

         This Servicer Letter of Credit shall automatically terminate at our
close of business in [LOS ANGELES], California on the first to occur of the
following dates (the "Termination Date"):  (i) the Expiration Date, or if said
date shall not be a Business Day, on the Business Day next succeeding said
date, (ii) the date of receipt by us of your written certificate signed by your
authorized officer, appropriately completed, in the form of Annex 2 hereto,
(iii) the payment by us of the final drawing available to be made hereunder or
(iv) on the date specified in our letter to you in the form of Annex 5 hereto.
If we are not then in default hereunder by reason of our having wrongfully
failed to honor a demand for payment hereunder, this Servicer Letter of Credit
shall be promptly surrendered to us upon the Termination Date.

         Drawings in respect of payments hereunder honored by us shall not, in
the aggregate, exceed the Stated Amount in effect immediately prior to such
drawing.  Each drawing honored by us hereunder shall pro tanto reduce the
Stated Amount in effect immediately prior to such drawing.

         The Stated Amount under the Servicer Letter of Credit shall be
automatically further reduced at the close of business on the 15th day of each
month, or if such day is not a





                                        A-2
<PAGE>   84

Business Day, the next following Business Day, commencing on __________ 15, ____
(each, a "Reset Date"), so that the Stated Amount at the close of business on
such Reset Date will equal the lesser of (i) the Stated Amount as theretofore in
effect or (ii) the product of $_____________  and the Reset Percentage; provided
that the Stated Amount as of the close of business on any Reset Date shall be

(which may be by telex or telecopier) on any subsequent date on which a drawing
certificate is presented hereunder, to deliver to us your certificate in the
form of Annex 3 hereto (each, a "Reduction Certificate"), appropriately
completed, setting forth the calculation of the Stated Amount as so adjusted;

of the State of California, including, without limitation, Article 5 of the
Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of California.  This Servicer

hereunder, as well as all notices and other communications to us in respect of

         You may transfer your rights under this Servicer Letter of Credit in

         qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in good standing,
         and shall have obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in all
         jurisdictions in which the ownership or lease of property or the

         purchasers from the Seller; and shall constitute a legal, valid and
         binding obligation of the Seller enforceable against the Seller in

         bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting
         the enforcement of creditors' rights in general and by general
         principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability shall

                  (vi)    No Proceedings.  There are no proceedings or

         regulatory body, administrative agency or other tribunal or
         governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Seller or
         its properties:  (a) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, (b)
         seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions
         contemplated by this Agreement, or (c) seeking any determination or
         ruling that might materially and adversely affect the performance by
         the Seller of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability
         of, this Agreement.

         (b)  The Seller does hereby make the following representations and
warranties as to the Subsequent Receivables on which the Trustee shall rely in
accepting the Subsequent Receivables in trust.  The representations shall speak
as of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and as of the Subsequent
Transfer Date, and in each case shall survive the sale, transfer and assignment
of the Subsequent Receivables to the Trustee.

                    (i)    Characteristics of Subsequent Receivables.  Each
         Subsequent Receivable (a) shall have been originated in the United
         States by a Dealer for the retail sale of the related Financed Vehicle
         in the ordinary course of such Dealer's business, shall have been
         fully and properly executed by the parties thereto, shall have been
         purchased by Fleetwood Credit from such Dealer under an agreement with
         Fleetwood Credit and shall have been validly assigned by such Dealer
         to Fleetwood Credit in accordance with its terms and shall have been
         subsequently sold by Fleetwood Credit to the Seller; (b) shall have
         created or shall create a valid, subsisting and enforceable first
         priority security interest in favor of Fleetwood Credit in the related
         Financed Vehicle, which security interest has been assigned by
         Fleetwood Credit to the Seller, and shall be assignable, and shall be
         so assigned, by the Seller to the Trustee; (c) shall contain customary
         and enforceable provisions such that the rights and remedies of the
         holder thereof shall be adequate for the realization against the
         collateral of the benefits of the security; (d) shall provide for
         level monthly payments (provided that the payment in the first or last
         month in the life of the Subsequent Receivable may be minimally
         different from the level payment) that fully amortize the Amount
         Financed by maturity and yield interest at its APR; and (e) shall
         provide for, in the event that such Subsequent Receivable is prepaid,
         a prepayment that fully pays the Principal Balance and includes
         accrued but unpaid interest at least through the date of prepayment in
         an amount calculated by using an interest rate at least equal to its
         APR.

                   (ii)    Schedule of Receivables.  The information set forth
         in the supplement to the Schedule of Receivables annexed hereto shall
         be true and correct in all material respects as of the opening of
         business on the Subsequent Cutoff Date, and no selection procedure
         adverse to the Certificateholders shall have been utilized in
         selecting the Subsequent Receivables from those Receivables of
         Fleetwood Credit which met the selection criteria set forth in this
         Section.

                   (iii)    Compliance with Law.  Each Subsequent Receivable and
         each sale of the related Financed Vehicle shall have complied at the
         time it was originated or made, and shall comply at the time of
         execution of this Agreement in all material respects with all
         requirements of applicable federal, state and local laws, and
    





                                           B-4

         regulations thereunder, including usury laws, the Federal
         Truth-in-Lending Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair
         Credit Billing Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Fair Debt
         Collection Practices Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, the
         Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, Federal Reserve Board Regulations B and Z,
         state adaptations of the National Consumer Act and of the Uniform
         Consumer Credit Code and other consumer credit, equal credit
         opportunity and disclosure laws.

                  (iv)    Binding Obligation.  Each Subsequent Receivable shall
         constitute the genuine, legal, valid and binding payment obligation in
         writing of the related Obligor, enforceable by the holder thereof in
         accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by
         bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation and other similar
         laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights in general and by
         general principles of equity regardless of whether such enforceability
         shall be considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

                   (v)    No Government Obligor.  None of the Subsequent
         Receivables shall be due from the United States or any state or local
         government thereof or from any agency, department or instrumentality
         of the United States or any state or local government.

                  (vi)    Security Interest in Financed Vehicles.  Immediately
         prior to the sale, assignment and transfer thereof, each Subsequent
         Receivable shall be secured by a validly perfected first security
         interest in the related Financed Vehicle in favor of Fleetwood Credit
         as secured party or all necessary and appropriate action with respect
         to such Subsequent Receivable shall have been taken to perfect a first
         priority security interest in such Financed Vehicle in favor of
         Fleetwood Credit as secured party.

                 (vii)    Receivables in Force.  No Subsequent Receivable shall
         have been satisfied, subordinated or rescinded, nor shall any related
         Financed Vehicle have been released from the lien granted by the
         related Subsequent Receivable in whole or in part.

                (viii)    No Waiver.  No provision of a Subsequent Receivable
         shall have been waived in such a manner that such Subsequent
         Receivable fails to meet all of the other representations and 
         warranties made by the Seller herein with respect thereto.

                  (ix)    No Amendments.  No Subsequent Receivable shall have
         been amended in such a manner that such Subsequent Receivable fails to
         meet all of the other representations and warranties made by the
         Seller herein with respect thereto.

                   (x)    No Defenses.  No facts shall be known to the Seller
         which would give rise to any right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim
         or defense, nor shall the same have been asserted or threatened, with
         respect to any Subsequent Receivable.

<PAGE>   98

   
                  (xi)    No Liens.  To the knowledge of the Seller, no liens
         or claims shall have been filed, including liens for work, labor or
         materials relating to a Financed Vehicle related to a Subsequent
         Receivable, that shall be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with,
         the security interest in such Financed Vehicle granted by the related
         Subsequent Receivable.

                  (xii)    No Default.  Except for payment defaults continuing
         for a period of not more than 30 days as of the Subsequent Cutoff
         Date, no default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration
         under the terms of any Subsequent Receivable shall have occurred; and
         no continuing condition that with notice or the lapse of time would
         constitute a default, breach, violation or event permitting
         acceleration under the terms of any Subsequent Receivable shall have
         arisen; and the Seller shall not have waived any of the foregoing.

                  (xiii)    Insurance.  Fleetwood Credit, in accordance with its
         customary servicing procedures, shall have determined that each
         Obligor had obtained physical damage insurance covering the related
         Financed Vehicle.

                  (xiv)    Good Title.  It is the intention of the Seller that
         the transfer and assignment herein contemplated, taken as a whole,
         constitute a sale of the Subsequent Receivables from the Seller to the
         Trust and that the beneficial interest in and title to the Subsequent
         Receivables not be a part of the debtor's estate in the event of a
         filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Seller under any
         bankruptcy law.  No Subsequent Receivable has been sold, transferred,
         assigned or pledged by the Seller to any Person other than the
         Trustee, and no provision of a Subsequent Receivable shall have been
         waived, except as provided in clause (viii) above; immediately prior
         to the transfer and assignment herein contemplated, the Seller had
         good and marketable title to each Subsequent Receivable free and clear
         of all Liens and rights of others; immediately upon the transfer and
         assignment thereof, the Trustee, for the benefit of the
         Certificateholders, shall have good and marketable title to each
         Subsequent Receivable, free and clear of all Liens and rights of
         others; and the transfer and assignment herein contemplated has been
         perfected under the UCC.

                  (xv)    Lawful Assignment.  No Subsequent Receivable shall
         have been originated in, or shall be subject to the laws of, any
         jurisdiction under which the sale, transfer and assignment of such
         Subsequent Receivable under the Agreement or pursuant to transfers of
         the Certificates shall be unlawful, void or voidable.

                  (xvi)    All Filings Made.  All filings (including UCC
         filings) necessary in any jurisdiction to give the Trustee a first
         perfected ownership interest in the Subsequent Receivables shall have
         been made.

                  (xvii)    One Original.  There shall be only one original
         executed copy of each Subsequent Receivable.

         greater than __ months; (b) the weighted average remaining term of the

         than _____% and equal to or less than _____%; (d) the weighted average 
         APR of the Receivables (including the Subsequent Receivables) is not 
         less than _____%; (e) each Subsequent Receivable shall have no payment 
         that is more than 30 days past due as of the related Subsequent Cutoff
         Date; (f) such Subsequent Receivables were originated on or prior to 
         __________; and (g) the related Receivable Files shall be kept at one

         Servicing Agreement.

         Receivables Purchase Agreement.

                   (d)    Security Interest Perfection.  In connection with the

         after the Seller's receipt thereof.

                   In connection with such conveyance, the Seller further

        Re:     Fleetwood Credit 1997-B Grantor Trust
                Asset Backed Certificates


Ladies and Gentlemen:

        I am Vice President and Assistant General Counsel of Associates First
Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation and the parent company of Fleetwood
Credit Corp., and in that capacity I have acted as counsel to Fleetwood Credit
Receivables Corp., a California corporation (the "Company"), in connection with
the issuance and sale by the Company of ___% Asset Backed Certificates, Class A
and ___% Asset Backed Certificates, Class B (collectively, the "Certificates")
representing undivided interests in the Fleetwood Credit 1997-B Grantor Trust.

        As such counsel, I have examined originals, or copies identified to my
satisfaction as being true copies of originals, of the following documents and
have received the following advices:

        1.      Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as now in effect.

        2.      Bylaws of the Company, as now in effect.

        3.      Advices of governmental authorities with respect to the
                corporate status of, and payment of taxes by, the Company in
                the State of California.

        4.      The Registration Statement on Form S-1, Registration No.
                333-33745 (the "Registration Statement"), filed by the Company
                with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")
                on August 15, 1997, as amended to date.

        5.      Resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company
                authorizing the filing of the Registration Statement and the
                execution and delivery of (i) the Underwriting Agreement
                between Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Incorporated, as
                underwriters and the Company and Fleetwood Credit Corp., a form
                of which is being filed as Exhibit 1.1 to the Registration
                Statement (the "Underwriting

                Agreement") and (ii) the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated
                as of September 1, 1997 among The Chase Manhattan Bank, as
                Trustee (the "Trustee"), the Company and Fleetwood Credit
                Corp., including the Standard Terms and Conditions of Agreement
                (Senior/Subordinated), effective September 1, 1997, with
                respect thereto (collectively, the "Agreement").

        6.      The Underwriting Agreement.

        7.      The Agreement.

        8.      Such other documents and records as I have deemed necessary or
                advisable for the purpose of the opinion set forth below.

        The opinion set forth below relates solely to California and federal
law, and I do not purport to be expert as to, nor do I express any opinions as
to, the laws of any other jurisdiction.

        I have assumed the due authorization, execution and delivery by the
parties other than the Company to the Underwriting Agreement and the Agreement
and I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures except those of officers
of the Company.

        My opinion expressed below is subject to the qualification that I have
not examined the Certificates but rather have examined specimens thereof.  In
addition, in rendering my opinion expressed below, I have assumed that any
state securities laws applicable to the issuance of the Certificates have been
complied with.

        Based upon such review, and in reliance thereon, and after
consideration of such other legal questions as I have deemed necessary, it is
my opinion that, subject to the qualifications and assumptions referred to
above, the Certificates, when issued and paid for in accordance with the
Underwriting Agreement and the Agreement, will be legally issued, fully paid
and non-assessable.

        I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to the use of my name in the Registration Statement
under the caption "Legal Opinions."  In giving this consent, I do not thereby
admit that I am in the category of persons whose consent is required under
Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules and
regulations of the Commission.

                                            Respectfully submitted,

     Re:  Fleetwood Credit 1997-B Grantor Trust
          Asset Backed Certificates 
          Registration Statement on Form S-1, No. 333-33745


Ladies and Gentlemen:


     We have acted as counsel to Fleetwood Credit Receivables Corp. in
connection with the preparation and filing of the registration statement on
Form S-1 (such registration statement, the "Registration Statement") filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "Act"), in respect of the Fleetwood Credit 1997-B Grantor Trust
(the "Trust") Asset Backed Certificates (the "Certificates"). Our opinions
formed the basis for the description of federal income tax consequences
appearing under the heading "Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences" in the
prospectus contained in the Registration Statement. Such description does not
purport to discuss all possible federal income tax consequences of an
investment in the Certificates, but with respect to the consequences which
are discussed, it is our opinion that the description is accurate. In addition,
assuming issuance of Certificates, it is our opinion that the Trust will be
classified as a "grantor" trust and not as an association (or publicly traded
partnership within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended).

     We hereby consent to the filing of this letter as an Exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to the reference to this firm in the Registration
Statement and related prospectus under the heading "Certain Federal Income Tax
Consequences."

                                        Very truly yours,


                                        /s/ Arter & Hadden

such manner as is sufficient to perfect the sale and assignment of such
Receivables to the Purchaser, and the proceeds thereof (and any continuation
statements as are required by applicable state law), and to deliver a

file stamped copy of such filing to be provided to the Purchaser in due
course), as soon as is practicable after Fleetwood Credit's receipt thereof.

   
         In connection with such conveyance, Fleetwood Credit further agrees,
at its own expense, on or prior to the Closing Date or the related Subsequent
Transfer Date, as the case may be, (i) to annotate and indicate in its computer
files that the related Receivables have been transferred to the Purchaser
pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) to deliver to the Purchaser a computer
file, or printed or microfiche list containing a true and complete list of all
of such Receivables, identified by account number and by the Principal Balance
of each Receivable as of the Initial Cutoff Date or the related Subsequent
Cutoff Date, as the case may be.  Such file or list shall be marked as Schedule
A to this Agreement and is hereby incorporated into and made a part of this
Agreement.

         The parties hereto intend that the conveyance hereunder be a sale.  In
the event that the conveyance hereunder is not for any reason considered a
sale, the parties intend that Fleetwood Credit be deemed to have granted to the
Purchaser a first priority perfected security interest in, to and under the
related Receivables and the other property conveyed hereunder and all proceeds
of any of the foregoing and that this Agreement constitute a security agreement
under applicable law.

         Section 2.02.  Representations and Warranties as to Fleetwood Credit.
Fleetwood Credit hereby represents and warrants as of the date of this
Agreement, the Closing Date and each Subsequent Transfer Date (or as of such
other date as specified below) that:
    

                 (a)    Organization and Good Standing.  Fleetwood Credit is
         a California corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good
         standing under the laws of the State of California, and has power and
         authority to own its properties and to conduct its business as such
         properties are currently owned and such business is presently
         conducted, and had at all relevant times, and shall have, power,
         authority and legal right to acquire, own and sell the Receivables.

   
                 (b)    Due Qualification.  As of the Closing Date and each
         Subsequent Transfer Date, Fleetwood Credit shall be duly qualified to
         do business as a foreign corporation in good standing, and shall have
         obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in all jurisdictions in
         which the ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its
         business (including the servicing of the Receivables as required by
         the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) shall require such
         qualifications.

                 (c)    Power and Authority.  Fleetwood Credit shall have the
         power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and each
         Transfer Agreement and to carry out its terms; and the execution,
         delivery and performance of this Agreement and each Transfer Agreement
         shall have been duly authorized by Fleetwood Credit by all necessary
         corporate action.

                 (d)    Binding Obligation.  This Agreement constitutes, and
         each Transfer Agreement will constitute, a legal, valid and binding
         obligation of Fleetwood Credit,
    





                                      4
<PAGE>   8
         enforceable against Fleetwood Credit in accordance with its terms,
         except as enforceability may be subject to or limited by bankruptcy,
         insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the
         enforcement of creditors' rights in general and by general principles
         of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability shall be
         considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

   
                 (e)    No Violation.  The consummation of the transactions
         contemplated by this Agreement and each Transfer Agreement and the
         fulfillment of the terms hereof and thereof shall not conflict with,
         result in a breach of any of the terms and provisions of, nor
         constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under,
         the articles of incorporation or bylaws of Fleetwood Credit, or
         conflict with or breach any of the material terms or provisions of or
         constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under,
         any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which Fleetwood Credit
         is a party or by which it may be bound; nor result in the creation or
         imposition of any lien upon any of its properties pursuant to the
         terms of any such indenture, agreement or other instrument (other than
         this Agreement or any Transfer Agreement); nor violate any law or, to
         the best of Fleetwood Credit's knowledge, any order, rule or
         regulation applicable to Fleetwood Credit of any court or of any
         federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency or other
         governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over Fleetwood Credit
         or its properties.

                 (f)    No Proceedings.  There are no proceedings or
         investigations pending or, to the best knowledge of Fleetwood Credit,
         threatened against Fleetwood Credit before any court, regulatory body,
         administrative agency or other tribunal or governmental
         instrumentality (i) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement or any
         Transfer Agreement, (ii) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of
         the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Transfer
         Agreement or (iii) seeking any determination or ruling that, in the
         reasonable judgment of Fleetwood Credit, would materially and
         adversely affect the performance by Fleetwood Credit of its
         obligations under this Agreement or any Transfer Agreement.

         The representations and warranties set forth in this Section shall
survive the transfer and assignment of the related Receivables to the Purchaser
on the Closing Date or the related Subsequent Transfer Date, as the case may
be, and the transfer and assignment of the related Receivables by the Purchaser
to the Trust.  Upon discovery by Fleetwood Credit, the Purchaser or the Trustee
of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties, the party
discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the others.
    

         Section 2.03.  Representations and Warranties as to the Receivables.

   
         (a)     Eligibility of Receivables.  Fleetwood Credit hereby
represents and warrants as of the Initial Cutoff Date with respect to the
Initial Receivables and as of the related Subsequent Cutoff Date with respect
to the Subsequent Receivables (or, in either case, as of such other date as
specified below) that:
    





                                      5
<PAGE>   9
                 (i)      Characteristics of Receivables.  Each Receivable (A)
         shall have been (1) originated in the United States by a Dealer for
         the retail sale of the related Financed Vehicle in the ordinary course
         of such Dealer's business, (2) fully and properly executed by the
         parties thereto, (3) purchased by Fleetwood Credit from such Dealer
         under an agreement with Fleetwood Credit and (4) validly assigned by
         such Dealer to Fleetwood Credit in accordance with its terms, (B)
         shall have created or shall create a valid, subsisting and enforceable
         first priority perfected security interest in favor of Fleetwood
         Credit in the related Financed Vehicle, which security interest shall
         be assignable, and shall be so assigned, by the Purchaser to the
         Trustee, (C) shall contain customary and enforceable provisions such
         that the rights and remedies of the holder thereof shall be adequate
         for realization against the collateral of the benefits of the
         security, (D) shall provide for level monthly payments (provided that
         the payment in the first or last month in the life of the Receivable
         may be minimally different from the level payment) that fully amortize
         the Amount Financed by maturity and shall provide for a finance charge
         or yield interest at its APR and (E) shall provide for, in the event
         that such Receivable is prepaid in full, payment of an amount that
         fully pays the Principal Balance and includes accrued but unpaid
         interest at least through the date of prepayment in an amount at least
         equal to its APR.

   
                 (ii)     Schedule of Receivables.  The information set forth
         in the Schedule of Receivables, as supplemented by each Transfer
         Agreement, shall be true and correct in all material respects as of
         the opening of business on the Initial Cutoff Date or the related
         Subsequent Cutoff Date, as the case may be, and no selection procedure
         adverse to the Purchaser shall have been utilized in selecting the
         Receivables from the receivables of Fleetwood Credit which met the
         selection criteria set forth in this Section.

                 (iii)    Compliance with Law.  Each Receivable shall have
         complied at the time it was originated or made, and shall comply at
         the time of execution of this Agreement with respect to the Initial
         Receivables and at the time of execution of the related Transfer
         Agreement with respect to the related Subsequent Receivables, in all
         material respects with all requirements of applicable federal, state
         and local laws, and regulations thereunder, including usury laws, the
         Federal Truth-in-Lending Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the
         Fair Credit Billing Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Fair Debt
         Collection Practices Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, the
         Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, Federal Reserve Board Regulations B and Z,
         state adaptations of the National Consumer Act and of the Uniform
         Consumer Credit Code and other consumer credit, equal credit
         opportunity and disclosure laws.
    

                 (iv)     Binding Obligation.  Each Receivable shall constitute
         the genuine, legal, valid and binding payment obligation in writing of
         the related Obligor, enforceable by the holder thereof in accordance
         with its terms, except as enforceability may be subject to or limited
         by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws
         affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights in general and by





                                      6
<PAGE>   10
         general principles of equity, regardless of whether such
         enforceability shall be considered in a proceeding in equity or at
         law.

                 (v)      No Government Obligor.  None of the Receivables shall
         be due from the United States or any state or local government or from
         any agency, department or instrumentality of the United States or any
         state or local government.

                 (vi)     Security Interest in Financed Vehicle.  Immediately
         prior to the sale, assignment and transfer thereof, each Receivable
         shall be secured by a validly perfected first security interest in the
         related Financed Vehicle in favor of Fleetwood Credit as secured party
         or all necessary and appropriate action with respect to such
         Receivable shall have been taken to perfect a first priority security
         interest in such Financed Vehicle in favor of Fleetwood Credit as
         secured party.

                 (vii)    Receivables in Force.  No Receivable shall have been
         satisfied, subordinated or rescinded, nor shall any Financed Vehicle
         have been released from the lien granted by the related Receivable in
         whole or in part.

                 (viii)   No Waiver.  No provision of a Receivable shall have
         been waived in such a manner that such Receivable fails to meet all of
         the other representations and warranties made by Fleetwood Credit
         herein with respect thereto.

                 (ix)     No Amendments.  No Receivable shall have been amended
         in such a manner that such Receivable fails to meet all of the other
         representations and warranties made by Fleetwood Credit herein with
         respect thereto.

                 (x)      No Defenses.  No facts shall be known to Fleetwood
         Credit which would give rise to any right of rescission, setoff,
         counterclaim or defense, nor shall the same have been asserted or
         threatened, with respect to any Receivable.

                 (xi)     No Liens.  To the knowledge of Fleetwood Credit, no
         Liens shall have been filed, including Liens for work, labor or
         materials relating to a Financed Vehicle, that shall be prior to, or
         equal or coordinate with, the security interest in such Financed
         Vehicle granted by the related Receivable.

                 (xii)    No Default.  Except for payment defaults continuing
         for a period of not more than 30 days as of the Cutoff Date, no
         default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under the
         terms of any Receivable shall have occurred; no continuing condition
         that with notice or the lapse of time would constitute a default,
         breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under the terms of
         any Receivable shall have arisen; and Fleetwood Credit shall not have
         waived any of the foregoing.

                 (xiii)   Insurance.  Fleetwood Credit, in accordance with its
         customary servicing procedures, shall have determined that each
         Obligor has obtained physical damage insurance covering the related
         Financed Vehicle.





                                      7
<PAGE>   11
                 (xiv)    Good Title.  It is the intention of Fleetwood Credit
         that the transfer and assignment herein contemplated, taken as a
         whole, constitute a sale of the Receivables from Fleetwood Credit to
         the Purchaser and that the beneficial interest in and title to the
         Receivables not be part of the debtor's estate in the event of the
         filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against Fleetwood Credit under
         any bankruptcy law; no Receivable has been sold, transferred, assigned
         or pledged by Fleetwood Credit to any Person other than the Purchaser,
         and no provision of a Receivable shall have been waived, except as
         provided in clause (viii) above; immediately prior to the transfer and
         assignment herein contemplated, Fleetwood Credit had good and
         marketable title to each Receivable free and clear of all Liens and
         rights of others; immediately upon the transfer and assignment
         thereof, the Purchaser shall have good and marketable title to each
         Receivable, free and clear of all Liens and rights of others; and the
         transfer and assignment herein contemplated has been perfected under
         the UCC.

   
                 (xv)     Lawful Assignment.  No Receivable shall have been
         originated in, or shall be subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction
         under which the sale, transfer and assignment of such Receivable under
         this Agreement, any Transfer Agreement or pursuant to transfers of the
         Certificates shall be unlawful, void or voidable.
    

                 (xvi)    All Filings Made.  All filings (including UCC
         filings) necessary in any jurisdiction to give the Trustee a first
         perfected ownership interest in the Receivables shall have been made.

                 (xvii)   One Original.  There shall be only one original
         executed copy of each Receivable.

   
                 (xviii)  Additional Representations and Warranties of
         Fleetwood Credit.  (A) Each Receivable conveyed hereby shall have an
         original maturity of not less than _____ months nor greater than 180
         months; (B) each Receivable shall have an APR equal to or greater than
         _____%, each Initial Receivable shall have an APR equal to or less
         than _____%, each Subsequent Receivable shall have an APR equal to or
         less than _____%, the weighted average APR of the Initial Receivables
         as of the Cutoff Date shall not be less than _____% and the weighted
         average APR of the Receivables (including the Subsequent Receivables)
         as of each Subsequent Cutoff Date shall not be less than _____%; (C)
         each Receivable shall have no payment that is more than 30 days past
         due as of the Initial Cutoff Date or the related Subsequent Cutoff
         Date, as the case may be; (D) each Receivable File shall be kept at
         one of the locations listed in Schedule B to the Pooling and Servicing
         Agreement; (E) based on the Principal Balances of the Receivables as
         of the Initial Cutoff Date or the related Subsequent Cutoff Date, as
         the case may be, at least _____% of the Receivables (including the
         Subsequent Receivables) shall be secured by motor homes; (F) the
         weighted average remaining term of the Receivables (including the
         Subsequent Receivables) shall be less than or equal to _____ months;
         and (G) in the case of any Obligor in the military service (including
         an Obligor who is a member of the National Guard or is in the
         reserves) whose Receivable is subject to either Relief
    





                                      8
<PAGE>   12
         Act, no such Obligor has made a claim to Fleetwood Credit that (1) the
         amount of interest on the related Receivable should be limited to 6%
         during the period of such Obligor's active duty status pursuant to the
         Soldiers' and Sailors' Relief Act or (2) payments on such Receivable
         should be delayed pursuant to the Military Reservist Relief Act, in
         either case unless a court has ruled otherwise upon application of
         Fleetwood Credit.

   
         (b)     Notice of Breach.  The representations and warranties set
forth in this Section shall speak as of the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and each Transfer Agreement, but shall survive the sale, transfer and
assignment of the Receivables to the Purchaser and any subsequent assignment or
transfer pursuant to Article Two of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The
Purchaser, Fleetwood Credit or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall inform
the other parties promptly, in writing, upon discovery of any breach of
Fleetwood Credit's representations and warranties pursuant to this Section
which materially and adversely affects any Receivable.

         (c)     Repurchase of Receivables.  In the event of a breach of (i)
any representation and warranty set forth in Section 2.03(a) or (ii) any
representation and warranty set forth in a Transfer Agreement, and in either
case unless the breach shall have been cured by the second Record Date
following the discovery (or, at Fleetwood Credit's option, the first Record
Date following the discovery), Fleetwood Credit shall repurchase any Receivable
materially and adversely affected by the breach, as of such Record Date.  In
consideration of the repurchase of any such Receivable, Fleetwood Credit shall
remit the Repurchase Amount of such Receivable (less the amount of any
Liquidation Proceeds with respect to such Receivable deposited, or to be
deposited, by Fleetwood Credit, as Servicer, in the Certificate Account
pursuant to Section 13.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) to the
Purchaser.  In the event that, as of the date of execution and delivery of this
Agreement or any Transfer Agreement, as the case may be, any Liens shall have
been filed, including Liens for work, labor or materials relating to a Financed
Vehicle, that shall be prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien granted
by the related Receivable (whether or not Fleetwood Credit has knowledge
thereof), and such breach materially and adversely affects the interests of the
Receivable, Fleetwood Credit shall repurchase such Receivable on the terms and
in the manner specified above.  Upon such repurchase, the Purchaser shall,
without further action, be deemed to transfer, assign, set-over and otherwise
convey to Fleetwood Credit, without recourse, representation or warranty, all
the right, title and interest of the Purchaser in, to and under such
Repurchased Receivable, all monies due or to become due with respect thereto
and all proceeds thereof.  The Purchaser or the Trustee, as applicable, shall
execute such documents and instruments of transfer or assignment and take such
other actions as shall reasonably be requested by Fleetwood Credit to effect
the conveyance of such Receivable pursuant to this Section.  The sole remedy of
the Purchaser with respect to a breach of Fleetwood Credit's representations
and warranties pursuant to Section 2.03(a) or with respect to the existence of
any such Liens shall be to require Fleetwood Credit to repurchase the related
Receivables pursuant to this Section.

covenants that:

   
                 (a)    Security Interests.  Except for the conveyances
         hereunder or under any Transfer Agreement, Fleetwood Credit will not
         sell, pledge, assign or transfer to any other Person, or grant,
         create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on any Receivable,
         whether now existing or hereafter created, or any interest therein;
         Fleetwood Credit will immediately notify the Purchaser of the
         existence of any Lien on any Receivable and such Receivable shall be
         repurchased from the Purchaser by Fleetwood Credit in the manner and
         with the effect specified in Section 2.03(c), and Fleetwood Credit
         shall defend the right, title and interest of the Purchaser in, to and
         under the Receivables, whether now existing or hereafter created,
         against all claims of third parties claiming through or under
         Fleetwood Credit; provided, however, that nothing in this subsection
         shall prevent or be deemed to prohibit Fleetwood Credit from suffering
         to exist upon any of the Receivables, Liens for municipal or other
         local taxes if such taxes shall not at the time be due and payable or
         if Fleetwood Credit shall currently be contesting the validity of such
         taxes in good faith by appropriate proceedings and shall have set
         aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto.
    

                 (b)    Delivery of Payments.  From and after the appointment
         of a Successor Servicer pursuant to Section 19.02 of the Standard
         Terms and Conditions, Fleetwood Credit agrees to deliver in kind upon
         receipt to such Successor Servicer all payments received by Fleetwood
         Credit in respect of the Receivables as soon as practicable after
         receipt thereof by Fleetwood Credit.

                 (c)    Conveyance of Receivables.  Fleetwood Credit
         covenants and agrees that it will not convey, assign, exchange or
         otherwise transfer the Receivables to any Person prior to the
         termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article Four hereof.

                 (d)    No Impairment.  Fleetwood Credit shall take no
         action, nor omit to take any action, which would impair the rights of
         the Purchaser in any Receivable, nor shall it, except as otherwise
         provided in this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
         reschedule, revise or defer payments due on any Receivable.
