FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AND RISK FACTORS

This Form 10-K contains certain statements, including the Company's plans
and expectations regarding its operating strategy, products and costs, and its
views of the prospects of the manufactured housing and recreational vehicle
industries, which are forward-looking statements and are made pursuant to the
safe harbor provision of the Securities Litigation Act of 1995. These
forward-looking statements reflect the Company's views, at the time such
statements were made, with respect to the Company's future plans, objectives,
events and financial results, such as revenues, expenses, income, earnings per
share, capital expenditures, and other financial items. Forward-looking
statements are not guarantees of future performance; they are subject to risks
and uncertainties. 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.

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 competition, raw material costs (particularly aluminum, vinyl,
steel, glass, ABS resin, and tires), availability of retail and wholesale
financing for manufactured homes, availability and costs of labor, inventory
levels of retailers and manufacturers, interest rates, and adverse weather
conditions impacting retail sales. In addition, general economic conditions and
consumer confidence may affect the retail sale of manufactured homes and RV's.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Introduction

Drew Industries Incorporated ("Drew" or the "Company") has two reportable
operating segments, the manufactured housing products segment (the "MH Segment")
and the recreational vehicle products segment (the "RV Segment"). Drew's
wholly-owned subsidiaries, Kinro, Inc. ("Kinro") and Lippert Components, Inc.
("Lippert"), have operations in both the MH Segment and the RV Segment, while
Lippert Tire & Axle, Inc. ("LTA") and Coil Clip, Inc. ("Coil Clip") operate
entirely within the MH Segment.

Kinro manufactures and markets aluminum and vinyl windows and
thermo-formed bath and shower units for manufactured homes, and aluminum windows
and doors for recreational vehicles. Lippert manufactures and markets steel
chassis and steel chassis parts and galvanized roofing for manufactured homes,
and manufactures and markets steel chassis and steel chassis parts for
recreational vehicles. LTA manufactures and markets new axles, and refurbishes
and distributes used axles, and distributes new and refurbished tires, for
manufactured homes. Coil Clip produces coil steel and sheet steel components,
certain of which are supplied to Lippert. Several of the Company's customers
produce both manufactured homes and recreational vehicles, and the Company
supplies products having similar characteristics for use in both these lines of
business.

Since 1980, the Company has acquired thirteen manufacturers of products
for both manufactured homes and recreational vehicles, expanded its geographic
market and product lines, added manufacturing facilities, integrated
manufacturing, distribution and administrative functions, and developed new and
innovative products. As a result, the Company currently operates 41
manufacturing facilities in 18 states and Canada, and achieved consolidated
sales of $269 million for 2001.

The Company was incorporated under the laws of Delaware on March 20, 1984,
and is the successor to Drew National Corporation, which was incorporated under
the laws of Delaware in 1962. The Company's principal executive and
administrative offices are located at 200 Mamaroneck Avenue, White Plains, New
York 10601; telephone number (914) 428-9098. The Common Stock of the Company is
traded on the American Stock Exchange (symbol: DW).


2
Manufactured Housing Products Segment

The Company's subsidiaries in the MH Segment manufacture and market a
number of components for manufactured homes, including aluminum and vinyl
windows and screens, thermo-formed bath and shower units, steel chassis and
steel chassis parts, galvanized roofing, and new axles, and the Company
refurbishes and distributes used axles and distributes new and refurbished
tires. In 2001, the MH Segment represented approximately 60% of the Company's
consolidated sales. The MH Segment also supplies related products to other
industries, representing less than 5% of sales of this segment.

Raw materials used by the Company's MH Segment, consisting of fabricated
steel (coil, sheet, galvanized and I-beam), extruded aluminum and vinyl, glass,
ABS resin, and various adhesive and insulating components, are available from a
number of sources. Used axles and tires, which are refurbished by the Company,
are purchased from dealers of manufactured homes and independent agents, and
their availability is subject to competitive pricing. The Company maintains an
aluminum hedging program under which it purchases futures contracts on the
London Metal Exchange to hedge the prices of a portion of its anticipated
requirements. During 2001, the Company did not purchase futures contracts.

Operations of the Company's MH Segment consist primarily of fabricating,
welding, thermo-forming, painting and assembling components into finished
products, and refurbishing used axles and tires. The Company's MH Segment
operations are conducted at 26 manufacturing and warehouse facilities throughout
the United States, strategically located in proximity to the customers they
serve. Three of these facilities also conduct operations in the Company's RV
Segment. See Item 2. "Properties."

The Company's manufactured housing products are sold by 19 sales
personnel, working exclusively for the Company, to major builders of
manufactured homes such as Champion Enterprises, Skyline, Clayton Homes, Oakwood
Homes, and Cavalier Homes.

The Company's MH Segment competes on the basis of price, customer service,
product quality, and reliability. Although definitive information is not readily
available, the Company believes that the two leading suppliers of windows for
manufactured homes are the Company and Philips Industries, and that the
Company's market share for windows and screens is more than 50%. The Company's
manufactured homes chassis and chassis parts operations compete with several
other manufacturers of chassis and chassis parts, as well as with certain
builders of manufactured homes which produce their own chassis and chassis
parts. The Company's thermo-formed bath unit operation competes with three other
manufacturers of bath units. Although definitive information is not readily
available, the Company believes that its market share for chassis and chassis
parts for manufactured homes is approximately 15%, and that its share of the
total market for bath units is approximately 40%.

The market for refurbished axles and tires is highly fragmented, has low
entry barriers, and is therefore highly competitive. Drew's axle and tire
refurbishing operation has not performed well over the past several years,
primarily due to increased competition, which severely affected operating
margins. At the end of the third quarter of 2000, the Company announced that it
was studying whether goodwill and fixed assets related to this operation had
been impaired. Based upon this evaluation, it was determined that goodwill had
been impaired, resulting in a non-cash charge of $6,897,000, which, along with a
charge of $409,000 for plant closing expenses, were recorded in the fourth
quarter of 2000. During 2001, the axle and tire refurbishing operation closed
two of its five factories and sold the operations of a third factory. Although
definitive information is not readily available, the Company believes that its
market share for refurbished and new axles and tires is less than 15%.

Recent Acquisition

On June 1, 2001, the Company acquired the net assets of the Better Bath
division of Kevco, Inc. Better Bath manufactures thermo-formed bath and shower
units for the manufactured housing industry, and is operated


3
as a division of Kinro. The purchase price, including costs, for Better Bath was
$10.2 million in cash, after adjustments for changes in working capital. Better
Bath had sales of approximately $27.7 million in 2000, and $22.3 million in
2001, including $13.2 million in the seven months subsequent to the acquisition

Recreational Vehicles Products Segment

Through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, the Company manufactures and
markets a number of components for recreational vehicles, including aluminum
windows, a variety of doors, steel chassis, and steel chassis parts. In 2001,
the RV Segment represented approximately 40% of the Company's consolidated
sales.

Raw materials used by the Company's RV Segment, consisting of fabricated
steel (coil, sheet, tube and I-beam), extruded aluminum, glass, and various
adhesive and insulating components, are available from a number of sources. The
Company maintains an aluminum hedging program under which it purchases future
contracts on the London Metal Exchange to hedge the prices of a portion of its
anticipated requirements. During 2001, the Company did not purchase any futures
contracts.

Operations of the Company's RV Segment consist primarily of fabricating,
welding, painting and assembling components into finished products, and
tempering glass for its own use and for sale to other window manufacturers. The
Company's RV Segment operations are conducted at 18 manufacturing and warehouse
facilities throughout the United States, strategically located in proximity to
the customers they serve. Three of these facilities also conduct operations in
the Company's MH Segment. See Item 2. "Properties."

The Company's recreational vehicles products are sold by 6 sales
personnel, working exclusively for the Company, to major manufacturers of
recreational vehicles such as Thor Industries (including Keystone which recently
merged with Thor) Fleetwood Enterprises and Forest River.

The Company's RV Segment operations compete on the basis of price,
customer service, product quality, and reliability. Although definitive
information is not readily available, the Company believes that there are
several other suppliers of windows and doors for recreational vehicles. The
Company's recreational vehicles chassis and chassis parts operations compete
with several other manufacturers of chassis and chassis parts, as well as with
certain manufacturers of recreational vehicles which produce their own chassis
and chassis parts. The Company's operation as a supplier of chassis and chassis
parts for recreational vehicles initially had only a small market share in 1997,
but the Company's market share has been increasing substantially. Although
definitive information is not readily available, the Company believes that its
market share for chassis and chassis parts for recreational vehicles exceeds
40%.

Recent Acquisitions

During 2001, the Company acquired two manufacturers of chassis and chassis
parts with combined annual sales of approximately $3 million. The aggregate
purchase price for these operations was $1.4 million. Both operations have been
integrated into Lippert.

Regulatory Matters

Windows produced by the Company for manufactured homes must comply with
performance and construction regulations promulgated by the United States
Housing and Urban Development Authority ("HUD") and by the American
Architectural Manufacturers Association relating to air and water infiltration,
thermal performance, emergency exit conformance, and hurricane resistance.
Thermo-formed bath and shower units manufactured by the Company for manufactured
homes must comply with performance and construction regulations promulgated by
HUD, the American National Standards Institute, the American Society for Testing
and Materials, and Underwriters Laboratory relating to fire resistance,
electrical safety, color fastness, and stain resistance.


4
Windows and doors produced by the Company for the recreational vehicle
industry are regulated by The United States Department of Transportation Federal
Highway Administration ("DOT"), National Fire and Protection Agency, and the
National Electric Code governing safety glass performance, egressability, door
hinge and lock systems, egress window retention hardware, and baggage door
ventilation.

Manufactured homes are built on steel chassis which are fitted with axles
and tires sufficient in number to support the weight of the home, and are
transported by producers to dealers via roadway. When the home is installed at
the site, the axles and tires are usually repurchased and removed by the dealer
or installer. Regulations promulgated by HUD require the axles to be inspected
after each use and refurbished or, if necessary, replaced. The Company purchases
from dealers and independent agents, and repairs and refurbishes, used axles and
tires, and markets the refurbished axles and tires to producers of manufactured
homes.

In accordance with regulations promulgated by HUD, refurbished axle
assemblies distributed by the Company are refurbished in accordance with a
detailed Quality Control Program formulated by an independent inspection agency.
Compliance with the Quality Control Program is monitored by the inspection
agency on a monthly basis. All expenses of formulating the program, inspection,
and monitoring are paid for by the Company. In addition, new and refurbished
tires distributed by the Company are subject to regulations promulgated by DOT
and by HUD relating to weight tolerance, maximum speed, size, and components.

The Company's operations are also subject to certain federal, state and
local regulatory requirements relating to the use, storage, discharge and
disposal of hazardous chemicals used during their manufacturing processes.

The Company believes that it is currently operating in compliance with
applicable laws and regulations, and does not believe that the expense of
compliance with these laws and regulations, as currently in effect, will have a
material effect on the Company's capital expenditures, earnings or competitive
position.

Employees

The number of persons employed full-time by the Company and its
subsidiaries at December 31, 2001 was 2,379. The Company and its subsidiaries
believe that relations with its employees are good.

Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On or about December 11, 2000, Lippert Tire & Axle Texas Limited
Partnership ("LT&A"), an indirect subsidiary of the Company, was served with a
Summons and Complaint in an action entitled Ace Tire & Axle, Inc. vs. Lippert
Tire & Axle Texas Limited Partnership, Terry Winskey and John Penny, pending in
the United States District Court, Eastern District of Texas (Marshall Division),
Civil Action No. 2:00 CV254-TJW.

Plaintiff alleged that defendants conspired to fix prices in violation of
Section 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act under Section 4 of the Clayton Act, as
well as in violation of Texas antitrust laws. Plaintiff sought damages in an
unspecified amount, treble damages, and costs of the proceeding. LT&A denied the
allegations in the Complaint and vigorously defended against the allegations. On
January 4, 2002, the parties agreed to settle the matter for an aggregate of
$75,000, of which LT&A agreed to pay $37,500.

The Company is not a party to any legal proceedings which, in the opinion

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires
the Company's executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own
more than ten percent of the Company's equity securities, to file reports of
ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission
and the American Stock Exchange. Officers, directors and greater than
ten-percent shareholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company
with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based on its review of the copies of such forms received by it, the
Company believes that during 2001 all such filing requirements applicable to its
officers and directors (the Company not being aware of any ten percent holder
during 2001 other than Edward W. Rose, III and L. Douglas Lippert, directors of
the Company) were complied with.

PART II

Item 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
are incorporated by reference to the Company's Annual Report to Stockholders for
the year ended December 31, 2001.

Dividend Information

The Company has not paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock. Future
dividend policy with respect to the Common Stock will be determined by the Board
of Directors of the Company in light of prevailing financial needs and earnings
of the Company and other relevant factors.

The Company's dividend policy is subject to certain restrictions contained
in its 6.95% Senior Notes and in other financing agreements.

Item 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA, and Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS are incorporated by
reference to the Company's Annual Report to Stockholders for the year ended
December 31, 2001.

Item 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is exposed to market risk in the normal course of its
operations due to its purchases of certain commodities, and its investing and
financing activities.

Certain raw materials, particularly aluminum, steel, vinyl, glass, ABS
resins and tires are subject to price volatility. While effective hedges for
most of these raw materials are not available, the Company periodically
purchases aluminum futures contracts to hedge the impact of future price
fluctuations on a portion of its aluminum raw material requirements. During
2001, the Company did not purchase any futures contracts.

The Company is exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result
of its financing activities. At December 31, 2001, the Company had approximately
$53 million of fixed rate debt. Assuming a decrease of 100 basis points in the
interest rate for borrowings of a similar nature, which the Company becomes
unable to capitalize on in the short-term as a result of the structure of its
fixed rate financing, future cash flows would be affected by approximately
$530,000 per annum.

The Company also has a $25 million line of credit that is subject to a
variable interest rate. At December 31, 2001, $200,000 was borrowed pursuant to
this line of credit.


10
In addition, the Company is exposed to changes in interest rates as a
result of temporary investments in government backed money market funds,
however, such investing activity is not material to the Company's financial
position, results of operations, or cash flow.

If the actual change in interest rates is substantially different than 100
basis points, the net impact of interest rate risk on the Company's cash flow
may be materially different than that disclosed above.

Item 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA, are incorporated by
reference to the Company's Annual Report to Stockholders for the year ended
December 31, 2001.

Item 9. DISAGREEMENTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

Not applicable.
