Forward Looking Statements

This presentation contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to financial condition, results of operations, business strategies,
operating efficiencies or synergies, competitive position, growth opportunities for existing products, plans and
objectives of management, markets for the Company’s common stock and other matters. Statements in this
presentation that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” for the purpose of the safe harbor
provided by Section 21E of the Exchange Act and Section 27A of the Securities Act.  Forward-looking statements,
including, without limitation those relating to our future business prospects, revenues, expenses and income,
wherever they occur in this presentation, are necessarily estimates reflecting the best judgment of our senior
management, at the time such statements were made, and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by forward-looking statements.  The Company does
not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the
forward-looking statements are made.  You should consider forward-looking statements, therefore, in light of
various important factors, including those set forth in this presentation and the Company’s SEC filings.

There are a number of factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, which could cause actual results
and events to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. These factors include pricing
pressures due to domestic and foreign competition, costs and availability of raw materials (particularly steel and
related components, vinyl, aluminum, glass and ABS resin), availability of retail and wholesale financing for
manufactured homes, availability and costs of labor, inventory levels of retailers and manufacturers, levels of
repossessed manufactured homes, the disposition into the market by FEMA by sale or otherwise of RVs or
manufactured homes purchased by FEMA in connection with natural disasters, changes in zoning regulations for
manufactured homes, the decline in the manufactured housing industry, the financial condition of our customers,
retention of significant customers, interest rates, oil and gasoline prices, the outcome of litigation, and adverse
weather conditions impacting retail sales. In addition, national and regional economic conditions and consumer
confidence may affect the retail sale of recreational vehicles and manufactured homes.

RVs - Industry Wholesale Shipments

(Thousands of Vehicles)

90% of Drew’s current RV product sales are for Travel Trailers and 5th Wheel RVs

(1)

Includes approximately 13,500 RVs purchased by FEMA for emergency housing for 2004 hurricane victims.

(2)

Excludes 38,900 ELU’s in 2005 and 31,400 ELU’s in 2006 purchased by FEMA. A total of 70,300 ELU’s were
purchased by FEMA for the period 9/05 to 4/06. The Company’s sales content per ELU was significantly less
than that of a typical travel trailer.

(3)

Starting in September 2005, about 27,000 towable RVs were purchased by FEMA from dealers which were
replaced by the dealers in 2005 and 2006.

(4)

Projection by RVIA. A portion of decline is attributable to FEMA units produced in 2006.

Manufactured Housing (MH) Market

Cost per sq. ft. is $39 for MH vs.
$91 for site-built homes

Average retail price of $62,300
for a 1,595 sq. ft. MH

9 million manufactured homes
across the U.S.

Strong Growth
Prospects

Improved quality, appearance and safety

Studies have shown that MH built since 1995 sustain no more
damage in hurricanes than site-built homes

Industry production was down 69% from 1998 to 2006, but
Drew’s MH sales were up 13% and segment operating profit was
down only 20%
