                 FLEETWOOD REPORTS PRELIMINARY
             REVENUES FOR FISCAL 2008 FIRST QUARTER


Riverside, Calif., August 2, 2007 - Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE:FLE)
announced today preliminary sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2008, ended
July 29, 2007.

Revenues for the quarter were approximately $512 million, a 3 percent
decrease from $530 million last year. Quarterly sales for recreational
vehicles declined 3 percent, while manufactured housing revenues were off by
1 percent.

Recreational vehicle sales for the first quarter were approximately $360
million, down slightly from $371 million a year ago. Motor home revenues
improved by 22 percent to about $274 million from $225 million in the same
period a year ago. Travel trailer sales were down 48 percent to approximately
$64 million compared with $122 million in the prior year, while folding
trailer sales were off 8 percent to $22 million from $24 million in last
year's first quarter.

"Motor home sales are experiencing a boost from our 2008 model year products,
which include several diesel models that have recently gone through life-
cycle changes and our relatively new value-priced Class A and Class C
gasoline products," said Elden L. Smith, president and chief executive
officer. "Travel trailer revenues have been impacted by the previously
announced closure of five plants and a conservative posture by dealers, who
continue to adjust their inventories downward in the face of market softness.
We are very pleased with the new look of our 2008 trailers, and our dealers
are reacting positively. We are especially encouraged that much of the praise
is for our core Prowler, Wilderness and Terry brands."

Preliminary first quarter manufactured housing sales of $144 million were off
1 percent from $146 million last year.

"While manufactured housing sales are still down from the prior year, we are
encouraged by the relatively small decline," Smith said. "A continuation of
current trends would indicate that we should see a positive revenue
comparison in the second quarter. Backlogs have been higher year over year
for several months, and we are increasing production rates in selected areas,
although the retirement markets in California, Arizona and Florida continue
to lag.

"We expect to report near-breakeven operating results (before interest and
taxes) for our first quarter, which compares very favorably to last year,"
Smith continued. "We have made significant progress in improving our
products, our cost structure and our organization. I am confident we will
achieve further improvement in our financial results as we go forward."

lack of assurance that we will regain sustainable profitability in the

housing market and more recent weakness in the recreational vehicle market;
the effect of global tensions, fuel prices, interest rates, and other factors
on consumer confidence, which in turn may reduce demand for our products,
particularly recreational vehicles; the availability and cost of wholesale
and retail financing for both manufactured housing and recreational vehicles;
our ability to comply with financial tests and covenants on existing debt
obligations; our ability to obtain the financing we will need in the future
to execute our business strategies; the cyclical and seasonal nature of both
the manufactured housing and recreational vehicle industries; expenses and
uncertainties associated with the entry into new business segments or the
manufacturing, development, and introduction of new products; the potential
for excessive retail inventory levels in the manufactured housing and
recreational vehicle industries; the volatility of our stock price;
repurchase agreements with floorplan lenders, which could result in increased
costs; potential increases in the frequency of product liability, wrongful
death, class action, and other legal actions; and the highly competitive
nature of our industries.
