                     Asset-Backed Notes
                     Registration Statement on Form S-3
                     ----------------------------------

Ladies and Gentlemen:

                  We are counsel to DVI Receivables Corp., a Delaware
corporation (the "Registrant") in connection with the registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), of Asset-Backed Notes and the
related preparation and filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the
"Registration Statement"). The Notes are issuable in series under indentures
(each such agreement, an "Indenture") between an issuer and an indenture
trustee, to be identified in the prospectus supplement for such series of Notes.
Each Indenture will be substantially in the form filed as an Exhibit to the
Registration Statement.

                  In connection with rendering this opinion letter, we have
examined the forms of the Agreements incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement, the Registration Statement and such records and other
documents as we have deemed necessary. As to matters of fact, we have examined
and relied upon representations or certifications of officers of the Registrant
or public officials. We have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted
to us as originals, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of
natural persons and the conformity to the originals of all documents. We have
assumed that all parties, other than the Registrant, had the

corporate power and authority to enter into and perform all obligations
thereunder and, as to such parties, we also have assumed the enforceability of
such documents.

                  In rendering this opinion letter, we express no opinion as to
the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of New York and
the corporate laws of the State of Delaware, nor do we express any opinion,
either implicitly or otherwise, on any issue not expressly addressed below. In
rendering this opinion letter, we have not passed upon and do not pass upon the
application of "doing business" or the securities laws of any jurisdiction. This
opinion letter is further subject to the qualification that enforceability may
be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, receivership, moratorium,
reorganization or other laws affecting the enforcement of the rights of
creditors generally and (ii) general principles of equity, whether enforcement
is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law.

                  We note the actual form of the disclosure under the heading
"Material Federal Income Tax Consequences" in any prospectus and prospectus
supplement used after the date of this letter will be revised from the version
appearing in the forms of prospectus and prospectus supplements included or
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement to reflect changes in
applicable law since the date that those documents were filed. Our opinion
expressed below is subject to the assumption that the above-mentioned revisions
will have been made.

                  Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

                  1. When an Indenture for a series of Notes has been duly
authorized by all necessary action and duly executed and delivered by the
parties thereto, such Indenture will be a legal and valid obligation of the
applicable issuer.

                  2. When an Indenture for a series of Notes has been duly
authorized by all necessary action and duly executed and delivered by the
parties thereto, and when the Notes of such series have been duly executed and
authenticated in accordance with the provisions of that Indenture, and issued
and sold as contemplated in the Registration Statement and the prospectus and
prospectus supplement delivered in connection therewith, such Notes will be
legally and validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable, and
the holders of such Notes will be entitled to the benefits of that Indenture.

                  3. The description of the material federal income tax
consequences appearing under the heading "Material Federal Income Tax
Consequences" in the prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, while
not purporting to discuss all possible federal income tax consequences of an
investment in the Notes, is accurate with respect to those tax consequences that
are discussed.

                  We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as an 
Exhibit to the Registration Statement, and to the use of our name in the
prospectus and prospectus supplements included in the Registration Statement
under the heading "Legal Matters", and in the prospectus included in the
