PART I — REGISTRANT INFORMATION

Monaco Coach Corporation
Full Name of Registrant

Former Name if Applicable

91320 Industrial Way
Address of Principal Executive Office (Street and Number)

Coburg, Oregon 97408
City, State and Zip Code PART II — RULES 12b-25(b) AND (c) If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)

x	(a)	The reason described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense
	(b)	The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-SAR or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q or subject distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and
	(c)	The accountant's statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.

PART III — NARRATIVE State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period. Monaco Coach Corporation (the “Registrant”) is filing this Form 12b-25 with respect to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 3, 2009 (the “2008 Form 10-K”), because it needs additional time to complete its year-end close process, complete its financial statements and complete its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of January 3, 2009. The Registrant filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code on March 5, 2009. Prior to and since the bankruptcy filing, the Registrant has been immersed in pre-bankruptcy and bankruptcy-related matters, including valuation of assets, preparation of financial projections and formulation and preparation of disclosure materials to the United States Trustee’s office and the Bankruptcy Court, formulating a plan of reorganization, and obtaining Debtor-In-Possession (DIP) financing. Filing for protection under Chapter 11 and the uncertainty regarding the ability to successfully complete the Company’s reorganization plan, including obtaining the related DIP financing, these conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. At the same time, the Registrant has experienced attrition of certain key personnel within its accounting organization, including, in particular, the resignations of certain key personnel in the corporate consolidations and SEC reporting functions. In addition, as a result of the process of impairment testing and estimating the fair value of impaired assets, among other things, the Registrant requires additional time to complete its year-end close process, complete its financial statements and complete its assessment of internal control over financial reporting. In order to complete its year-end close process, complete its financial statements and complete its assessment of internal control over financial reporting, the Company must finalize impairment testing in order to estimate the fair value of impaired assets, among other things. As the Company completes its assessment of internal control over financial reporting, it is possible that material weaknesses will be identified. Accordingly, the Registrant is not able to file its 2008 Form 10-K in a timely manner without unreasonable effort or expense. The Registrant believes that, despite efforts to file its Form 10-K, it is likely that it will need additional time beyond April 3, 2009, to file its 2008 Form 10-K. If the Registrant is not able to complete its financial statements and file the 2008 Form 10-K by April 3, 2009, the Registrant will file the 2008 Form 10-K as soon as reasonably practicable after that date.
