<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On April&nbsp;14, 2005,
the Board of Directors of Monaco Coach Corporation approved the relocation of
the Company&#146;s Bend, Oregon production operations to the Coburg, Oregon
facility.&#160; Motorhome production at the
Bend facility will cease on approximately June&nbsp;15, 2005.&#160; The Bend facility, due to its age and
configuration, has consistently been the Company&#146;s least efficient motorhome
operation.&nbsp; A significant capital investment in redesign and renovation of
this leased facility would have been required to meet production requirements.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company anticipates
recording one-time pre-tax charges in the second quarter of 2005, totaling
approximately $3.0 million to $3.5 million for expenses associated with the
closure of the Bend manufacturing plant.&nbsp; One-time personnel related
costs, including severance benefits, transfer bonuses, and relocation
assistance costs are expected to be approximately $1.20 million to $1.45
million.&#160; One-time charges associated
with the physical relocation of inventory and equipment as well as estimated
net costs of the operating lease are expected to be approximately $1.80 million
to $2.05 million.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">All costs associated with
the closure of the Bend facility will be cash expenditures, most of which will
be made in the second or third quarter of 2005.</font></p>

today that it will move the production of all Beaver</font> Class&nbsp;A

its Bend, Oregon motorhome manufacturing facility.&nbsp; The Bend plant
shutdown is presently scheduled for approximately June&nbsp;15, 2005.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Bend facility, due to
its age and configuration, has consistently been the Company&#146;s least efficient
motorhome operation.&nbsp; A significant capital investment in redesign and
renovation would have been required to meet production requirements.&nbsp; The
transfer of Beaver production will result in the creation of a significant
number of production positions in the Coburg facilities. Bend employees will be
eligible to apply for the vast majority of these new positions and will be
encouraged to do so.&nbsp; All employees who move will be entitled to
relocation assistance.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company has created

manufacturing facility and the ED&nbsp;&amp; A operation were acquired when

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;We deeply regret the
impact that shutting down the Beaver manufacturing plant will have on our loyal
and highly dedicated Bend employees and their families, and on the Bend
community,&#148; said Kay Toolson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Monaco
Coach Corporation.&nbsp; &#147;We studied every option available to us to make the
Bend manufacturing plant efficient and more profitable over the long-term
before making this difficult decision. Unfortunately, we determined that it is
not economically feasible for the Company to commit to the investment that
would be required to continue our motorhome manufacturing operations in Bend.&#148;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;Bend is the only
manufacturing facility we do not own, and it would have required a
disproportionate investment of time and money to completely reconfigure the
design and layout of the plant in order to produce the efficiencies that would
result in competitive operations at that facility,&#148; said John Nepute, President
of Monaco Coach Corporation.&nbsp; &#147;In spite of this closure, we remain
committed to Bend and to our 150 employees at the ED&nbsp;&amp; A plant in
Bend.&nbsp; That operation provides a key and very successful support operation
for all of our manufacturing activities in Oregon and Indiana.&nbsp; We look to
continue to grow that division of our Company.&#148;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Monaco evaluated
relocating production of the Beaver motorhome line to either its Coburg, Oregon
or Wakarusa, Indiana location.&nbsp; &#147;Both states provided compelling
relocation proposals. State income tax rules&nbsp;were a significant factor in
our decision.&nbsp; Changes to Oregon&#146;s income apportionment rules&nbsp;in 2003
and the current progress of House Bill 2542, which will reconnect Oregon income
tax rules&nbsp;with those at the federal level, demonstrate that Oregon is
committed to the creation of a favorable business environment for
manufacturers,&#148; said Nepute.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;We believe very strongly
in the legacy of the Beaver brand name and the strength of the Beaver motorhome
business.&nbsp; We will continue to design, manufacture and support Beaver
motorhomes at our Coburg manufacturing facilities,&#148; said Mike Snell, Vice
President of Sales and Marketing.&nbsp; &#147;Monaco Coach Corporation is fully
dedicated to preserving the uniqueness and quality of the Beaver product line
and the resulting loyalty that Beaver owners have for these exceptional
recreational vehicles.&#148;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;This shift in production will significantly
increase the utilization of our current manufacturing footprint.&nbsp; The
anticipated savings on a go-forward basis are considerable.&nbsp; We expect the
change will add approximately 8 to 10 cents per share to our earnings next
fiscal year,&#148; stated Marty Daley, Chief Financial Officer.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Daley continued, &#147;We anticipate recording
one-time pre-tax charges in the second quarter of 2005, totaling approximately
$3 million to $3.5 million for severance and related expenses associated with
the closure of the Bend manufacturing plant.&nbsp; Efficiencies gained in the
second half of the year will be approximately $2 million to $2.5 million on a
pre-tax basis.&#148;</font></p>
