ITEM 1.   DESCRIPTION OF REGISTRANT'S SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED

     The authorized capital stock of Monaco Coach Corporation, a Delaware 
corporation (the "Registrant"), consists of 20,000,000 shares of Common 
Stock, $0.01 par value, and 2,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.01 par 
value (the "Preferred Stock"), 100,000 shares of which are designated Series 
A Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value (the "Series A Preferred 
Stock").  The Registrant's Common Stock is currently quoted on the National 
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotation National Market 
under the symbol "MCCO."

     The following summary of certain provisions of the Common Stock and the 
Preferred Stock does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and 
qualified in its entirety by, the provisions of the Registrant's Amended and 
Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Certificate of Designations of 
Rights, Preferences and Privileges of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock 
(collectively, the "Certificate of Incorporation") which are included as 
exhibits hereto, and by the provisions of applicable law.

COMMON STOCK

     As of December 31, 1996, there were 4,430,467 shares of Common Stock 
issued and outstanding held of record by approximately 105 stockholders.  The 
holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to 
be voted upon by the stockholders.  Subject to preferences that may be 
applicable to any outstanding Preferred Stock, the holders of Common Stock 
are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared 
from time to time by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available 
therefor.  In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the 
Registrant, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in all 
assets remaining after payment of liabilities, subject to the prior rights of 
Preferred Stock, if any, then outstanding.  The Common Stock has no 
preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights.  There are no 
redemption or sinking fund provisions available to the Common Stock.  All 
outstanding shares of Common Stock are fully paid and nonassessable.

PREFERRED STOCK

     DIVIDEND RIGHTS  

     As of December 31, 1996, there were 65,217 shares of Preferred Stock, 
all of which are shares of Series A Preferred Stock, issued and outstanding 
and held by one stockholder of record.

     An annual dividend at the rate per annum set forth below began accruing 
on the Series A Preferred Stock on March 4, 1996, the original issuance date 
of the Series A Preferred Stock (the "Original Issuance Date"), and is paid 
in cash on December 15 of each year to the holders of record of the Series A 
Preferred Stock (hereinafter, the "Series A Stockholders" ) as of December 1 
of each year. Dividends are cumulative and accrue until declared and paid and 
are payable pro rata for partial year periods.  No dividends or other 
distributions of any nature may be declared and/or paid on any shares of the 
Registrant's common stock or any other shares that rank junior to the Series 
A Preferred Stock unless and until all accrued and unpaid dividends on the 
Series A Preferred Stock have been 

                                        -1-

<PAGE>

paid in full.  No dividend may be paid on the Series A Preferred Stock other 
than the annual dividend, as described above.

     The dividend rate for the Series A Preferred Stock will be $1.38 per 
share per annum until February 28, 1997, at which point the dividend rate 
will be dependent upon the average closing price of the Registrant's common 
stock as calculated for the thirty days prior to certain "Set Dates," defined 
as March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1.  If the average closing price 
of the Registrant's Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market is greater 
than or equal to $10.00 per share, then the dividend rate for such period 
will remain at $1.38 per share per annum.  If such average closing price is 
less than $10.00 per share, then the dividend rate for such period will be 
$2.38 per share per annum.

     VOTING RIGHTS

       Each Series A Stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of 
Common Stock into which each share of Series A Preferred Stock held by such 
person is convertible (as set forth below) on the record date for the vote of 
stockholders, and, except as otherwise required by law, has voting rights and 
powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the holders of Common Stock. 
Each Series A Stockholder is entitled to notice of any stockholders' meeting 
in accordance with the bylaws of the corporation and votes with holders of 
the Common Stock upon the election of directors and upon any other matter 
submitted to a vote of stockholders, except those matters required by law to 
be submitted to a class vote.

     RIGHTS ON LIQUIDATION

       In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution 
or winding up of the Registrant, the Series A Stockholders will be entitled 
to receive, before any distribution or payment is made to or set apart for 
the holders of Common Stock or any other class of stock ranking on 
liquidation junior to the Series A Preferred Stock, from the assets of the 
Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, an amount equal 
to $46.00 per share of Series A Preferred Stock then held by them plus any 
dividends accrued but unpaid and dividend interest, if any.  If upon such 
liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the assets of the Registrant 
available for distribution to the Series A Stockholders are not sufficient to 
make in full the payment required to be made to such holders, such assets 
will be distributed to the Series A Stockholders pro rata.  Any assets of the 
Corporation remaining after full payment to the Series A Stockholders will be 
distributed pro rata to the holders of the Common Stock or otherwise in 
accordance with the provisions of any other class of stock ranking junior to 
the Series A Preferred Stock.

     Any merger or consolidation of the Registrant with or into any other 
corporation or entity or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of 
the Registrant is deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of 
the Registrant, except for a merger or consolidation in which the 
stockholders of the Registrant immediately prior thereto shall, immediately 
thereafter, hold as a group the right to cast at least a majority of the 
votes of all holders of voting securities of the resulting or surviving 
corporation or entity on any matter on which such holders of voting 
securities shall be entitled to vote.


                                        -2-

     REDEMPTION

       The Registrant must, to the extent of funds legally available 
therefor, redeem any shares of Series A Preferred Stock eligible for 
redemption (as set forth below) for which a request for redemption has been 
made by a Series A Stockholder.  The price per share to be paid by the 
Registrant upon redemption of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock is an 
amount equal to $46.00 per share of the Series A Preferred Stock, plus any 
unpaid dividends and dividend interest.

     Shares of Series A Preferred Stock become eligible for redemption as 
follows:

              (i)  21,740 shares of Series A Preferred Stock become redeemable
    commencing two (2) years after the date the Series A Preferred Stock was
    first issued, March 4, 1996 (the "Original Issuance Date");

              (ii) An additional 32,609 shares of Series A Convertible
    Preferred Stock become redeemable commencing three (3) years after the
    Original Issuance Date;

              (iii)     All remaining outstanding shares of Series A
    Convertible Preferred Stock become redeemable commencing four (4) years
    after the Original Issuance Date.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time after the Original 
Issuance Date the Registrant completes a firm commitment underwritten public 
offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities 
Act of 1933, as amended, covering the offer and sale of either debt or equity 
securities in which the aggregate proceeds to the Registrant exceeded 
$15,000,000 (the "Public Offering") then all of the outstanding shares of 
Series A Preferred Stock will become redeemable at any time on or after the 
later of (i) the date two (2) years following the Original Issuance Date or 
(ii) the closing of the Public Offering.

     At any time on or after the date four (4) years following the Original 
Issuance Date, the Registrant may, at the sole discretion of the Board of 
Directors of the Registrant, fix a redemption date and upon such date redeem 
all or a portion of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock 
by paying in cash therefor the Redemption Payment.

     CONVERSION RIGHTS

     The Series A Stockholders have conversion rights and obligations as 
follows:  

     Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of 
the holder thereof, at any time (and up to five days prior to redemption), 
into the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock 
obtained by dividing $46.00 by the conversion price in effect at the time of 
the conversion (the "Conversion Ratio").  The conversion price is $13.00, and 
is subject to adjustment for certain distributions, subdivisions or 
combinations of the Registrant's Common Stock and the issuance of rights or 
warrants.  Upon conversion of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the 
holder is entitled to receive in cash all accrued dividends and dividend 
interest payable up to and including the dated fixed for conversion.


                                        -3-

<PAGE>

     Each share of Series A Preferred Stock automatically converts into a 
fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock at the then effective 
conversion price upon the closing of a firm commitment underwritten public 
offering of the Corporation's Common Stock pursuant to an effective 
registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, at a 
price per share to the public of $15.00 or more.

     The approval of the holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred 
Stock is required for any amendment to the Registrant's Amended and Restated 
Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws which would adversely change or alter 
the rights, preferences and privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock, 
increase or decrease the authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred 
Stock, or provide for the creation of any new class or series of shares with 
dividend or liquidation rights which are superior to or on parity with the 
Series A Preferred Stock.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

     The holder of 65,217 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or its 
permitted transferees, are entitled to certain rights with respect to the 
registration of such shares under the Securities Act.  Under the terms of 
agreements between the Registrant and such holder, if the Registrant proposes 
to register any of its securities under the Securities Act, either for its 
own account or the account of other security holders exercising registration 
rights, the holders are entitled to notice of such registration and are 
entitled to include shares of Common Stock therein; provided, among other 
conditions, that the underwriters of any offering have the right to limit or 
exclude such shares from registration. In addition, the holders of Series A 
Preferred Stock may by written request require the Registrant, on not more 
than three occasions, to file a registration statement under the Securities 
Act with respect to such shares, and the Registrant is required to use its 
best efforts to effect such registration, subject to certain conditions and 
limitations, and is required to pay the expenses incurred in connection with 
such registrations.
