* Riverside-based Fleetwood Enterprises Inc., the No. 1 U.S. maker of recreational vehicles and a leading retailer of manufactured housing, reported fiscal first-quarter net income of $26.4 million, or 72 cents per share, for the period ended July 25. That compares with $30.2 million, or 86 cents, a year ago. The 13% decline was less than the company had expected when it announced its first-quarter sales results last month. At that time, earnings were expected to decline 20% to 30% on a slowdown in manufactured housing sales. The company posted record revenue for the quarter, $956.7 million vs. $849.02 million a year ago.
