EXHIBIT 99



To the Board of Directors of
Associates First Capital Corporation and
The Chase Manhattan Bank as Trustee:

We have audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the
consolidated balance sheet of Associates First Capital Corporation as of 
December 31, 1997, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, changes 
in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended, have issued our
report thereon dated January 20, 1998.

In connection with our audit, nothing came to our attention that caused us to
believe that there were any exceptions or errors in the records relating to
receivables serviced for others by Fleetwood Credit Corp. ("Fleetwood) as
Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of 
September 1, 1997, among Fleetwood, as Servicer, Fleetwood Credit 
Receivables Corp., as Seller, and The Chase Manhattan Bank, as Trustee, 
and the Fleetwood Credit Grantor Trust Standard Terms and Conditions of 
Agreement (Senior/Subordinated) effective September 1, 1997, incorporated 
by reference therein (collectively, the "Agreement"), insofar as such 
exceptions or errors related to accounting matters. 
However, our audit was not directed primarily toward obtaining 
knowledge of such exceptions or errors.

We are independent with respect to the Associates First Capital Corporation and
Fleetwood under Rule 101 of the AICPA's Code of Professional Conduct and its
interpretations.

This report, issued pursuant to Section 13.11 of the Agreement, is intended
solely for the information and use of the Board of Directors and management of
Associates First Capital Corporation and The Chase Manhattan Bank and should not
be used for any other purpose.
