as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant
to the Corporation Law, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, the Company's By-laws or the Company's indemnification agreements, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of
the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in a successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered hereunder, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
question has already been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </FONT></P>

PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by References
There are hereby incorporated by references in this Registration Statement the following documents and information heretofore filed by Monaco Coach Corporation
(the "Company") with the Securities and Exchange Commission:
(1) The
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2000 filed on March 30, 2001, pursuant to

description of the Company's Common Stock set forth in the Company's Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed on December 17, 1998,
pursuant to Section 12(b) of the 1934 Act.
All
documents filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act on or after the date of this Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a
post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "Corporation Law") provides in relevant part that "[a] corporation
may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at
the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suite or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful." With
respect to derivative actions, Section 145(b) of the Corporation Law provides in relevant part that "[a] corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor... [by reason of his service
in one of the capacities specified in the preceding sentence] against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actionally and reasonable incurred by him in
II–1
connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and
except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent
that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of
the case,
such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper."
Article VI
of the Company's By-laws provides that the Company may indemnify each person who is or was a director or officer of the Company to the full extent
permitted by Corporation Law. Such Article also provides that the Company may, but is not required to, indemnify its employees and agents (other than directors and officers) to the extent and in the
manner permitted by the Corporation Law.
The
Company has entered into an indemnification agreement with each of its directors and officers and intends to maintain insurance for the benefit of its directors and officers
insuring such person against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the securities laws.
See
also the undertakings set out in Item 9 of this Form S-8.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.

Certificate of Amendment of Amended & Restated Certificate of Incorporation dated June 30, 1999 (Incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit (3.2) to the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2000).
4.2

23.1

23.2

24.1
Power of Attorney (see page II-4).
Item 9. Undertakings.
A.  The
Company hereby undertakes:
(1) To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to include any material
information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
II–2
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
B.  The
Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Company's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
C.  Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant
to the Corporation Law, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, the Company's By-laws or the Company's indemnification agreements, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of
the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in a successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered hereunder, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
question has already been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
II–3
