Coachmen Signs Contract to Acquire Mod-U-Kraf

ELKHART, Ind., May 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Coachmen Industries, Inc. (NYSE: COA)
of Elkhart, Indiana announced today that they have entered into a definitive
agreement to acquire Mod-U-Kraf Homes, Inc. (OTC: MODU) for $11.75 per
share, or a total consideration of nearly $10 million. This culminates
months of negotiations and due diligence that began in earnest in January
and resulted in a letter of intent to acquire all outstanding shares on
March 13, 2000. Closing of the transaction is expected in mid-June, subject
to approval of the shareholders of Mod-U-Kraf and other normal closing
conditions. The definitive agreement provides for a significant break-up
fee payable to Coachmen in certain circumstances.

This transaction adds to Coachmen's expanding modular home sector.
Mod-U-Kraf, who will retain both management and employees, will operate
as a separate entity under the Coachmen Housing Group.

"We are very pleased to have Mod-U-Kraf as part of the Coachmen family.
They complement our existing modular business perfectly, and is another
step forward in our strategic plan to expand that segment of our
business,'' said Claire C. Skinner, Chairman and CEO of Coachmen Industries,
Inc. "As a result of this acquisition, we will solidify our position as the
leading manufacturer of modular housing in the United States."

"We are very excited about joining forces with Coachmen in a market that
has been experiencing double digit growth and continues to see strong
consumer demand,'' noted Dale H. Powell, Mod-U-Kraf's President and Board
Chairman. "We share the same philosophies about our customers, employees
and the communities in which we work.''

Coachmen Industries, Inc. is one of the nation's leading producers of
recreation vehicles. The Company's All American Homes division is America's
leading producer of modular homes. Unlike the manufactured housing
industry, Coachmen's modular homes are built to local codes versus HUD
codes. Recreation vehicles comprised eighty three percent of Coachmen's
1999 sales and modular homes represented seventeen percent.
