     ELKHART, INDIANA --- DECEMBER 17, 2003

            SKYLINE REPORTS RESULTS FOR SECOND QUARTER AND FIRST HALF

                  Skyline Corporation's net earnings for the second quarter of
     its fiscal 2004 year were $2,068,000, an increase from the $1,951,000 of
     the second quarter of fiscal 2003. On a per share basis, net earnings for
     the quarter which ended November 30, 2003, were $0.25, an increase from the
     $0.23 of a year ago.

                  For the first half of fiscal 2004, net earnings were
     $4,105,000, an increase from the $3,773,000 of a year ago. Net earnings per
     share for the first half of fiscal 2004 were $0.49, an increase from the
     $0.45 of the first half of fiscal 2003.

                  Sales for Skyline's fiscal 2004 second quarter were
     $114,583,000, an increase from the $112,467,000 of the second quarter of
     fiscal 2003. For the first six months of fiscal 2004, sales were
     $224,262,000, a decrease from the $228,959,000 of fiscal 2003.

                  For Skyline's manufactured housing group, sales for the second
     quarter of fiscal 2004 were $84,919,000 compared to $78,599,000 for the
     second quarter of fiscal 2003. For the first six months of fiscal 2004,
     sales by the manufactured housing group were $163,466,000, an increase from
     the $159,706,000 recorded for the first six months of fiscal 2003.

                  For the recreational vehicle (RV) group, sales amounted to
     $29,664,000 for fiscal 2004's second quarter, a decrease from the
     $33,868,000 of the second quarter of fiscal 2003. For the first six months
     of fiscal 2004, sales by the RV group were $60,796,000, a decrease from the
     $69,253,000 of the same period a year ago.

                  As Skyline begins its third quarter, historically the slowest
     period in its fiscal year, the company continues to maintain its
     traditionally strong balance sheet with no long-term debt and a healthy
     position in cash and temporary cash investments. This financial strength
     should help the company meet the challenges ahead.
