         Re: Cavco Industries, Inc.: Registration of an Additional 450,000
         Shares of Common Stock of Cavco Industries, Inc. under the Cavco
         Industries, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan and a maximum 100,000 Shares of
         Common Stock of Cavco Industries subject to a Restricted Stock Award
         Agreement.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         As Counsel to Cavco Industries, Inc. (the "Corporation"), I am familiar
with the Cavco Industries, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") and the
proposed offer and sale of an additional 450,000 shares (the "Plan Shares") of
Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Corporation pursuant to the
Plan. I am also familiar with the Restricted Stock Award Agreement (the
"Agreement") with Joseph H. Stegmayer relating to an award of up to 100,000
shares (the "Restricted Shares") of Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share, of
the Corporation subject to the Agreement.

         I have also made such further investigations as I have deemed necessary
to express the opinions herein stated.

         I am of the opinion that the Plan Shares and the Restricted Shares,
which are hereafter issued upon exercise of options duly granted under and in
accordance with the terms of the Plan and the Agreement, respectively, will,
upon the payment of the consideration therefore required by the terms of the
Plan and the Agreement, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable.

         I consent to the use of this opinion as an Exhibit to the Registration
Statement on Form S-8 being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to the Plan Shares
and Restricted Shares, and to any references to me in such Registration
Statement.

                                       Very truly yours,


                                       /s/ David A. Greenblatt

                                       David A. Greenblatt
