Item 1. Security and Issuer
The class of equity securities to which this statement on
Schedule 13D relates is the Common Stock, par value $0.0277 per share
("Securities"), of Skyline Corporation (the "Issuer"), a Indiana corporation
with principal offices located at 2520 By-Pass Road, P.O. Box 743, Elkhart,
Indiana 46515.
Item 2. Identity and Background
This statement is being filed by Mario J. Gabelli ("Mario Gabelli")
and various entities which he directly or indirectly controls or for which he
acts as chief investment officer. These entities, except for Lynch Corporation
("Lynch") and Lynch Interactive Corporation ("Interactive"), engage in various
aspects of the securities business, primarily as investment adviser to various
institutional and individual clients, including registered investment companies
and pension plans, and as general partner of various private investment
partnerships. Certain of these entities may also make investments for their
own accounts.
The foregoing persons in the aggregate often own beneficially more than
5% of a class of a particular issuer. Although several of the foregoing
persons are treated as institutional investors for purposes of reporting
their beneficial ownership on the short-form Schedule 13G, the holdings of
those who do not qualify as institutional investors may exceed the 1%
threshold presented for filing on Schedule 13G or implementation of their
investment philosophy may from time to time require action which could be
viewed as not completely passive. In order to avoid any question as to
whether their beneficial ownership is being reported on the proper form and
in order to provide greater investment flexibility and administrative
uniformity, these persons have decided to file their beneficial ownership
reports on the more detailed Schedule 13D form rather than on the short-form
Schedule 13G and thereby to provide more expansive disclosure than may be
necessary.
(a), (b) and (c) - This statement is being filed by one or more of the
following persons: Gabelli Group Capital Partners, Inc. ("Gabelli Partners"),
Gabelli Asset Management Inc. ("GBL"), Gabelli Funds, LLC ("Gabelli Funds"),

signing this Schedule 13D are hereafter referred to as the "Reporting

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
The Reporting Persons used an aggregate of approximately
$13,701,515 to purchase the Securities reported as beneficially owned in Item
5. GAMCO and Gabelli Funds used approximately $6,940,397 and $4,538,458,
respectively, of funds that were provided through the accounts of certain of
their investment advisory clients (and, in the case of some of such accounts at
GAMCO, may be through borrowings from client margin accounts) in order to
purchase the Securities for such clients. Gabelli Advisers used approximately
$2,222,660 of client funds to purchase the Securities reported by it.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Each of the Reporting Persons has purchased and holds the
Securities reported by it for investment for one or more accounts over which
it has shared, sole, or both investment and/or voting power, for its own
account, or both.
The Reporting Persons, with the exceptions of Lynch and its
affiliates, are engaged in the business of securities analysis and investment
and pursue an investment philosophy of identifying undervalued situations.
In pursuing this investment philosophy, the Reporting Persons analyze the
operations, capital structure and markets of companies in which they invest,
including the Issuer, on a continuous basis through analysis of documentation
and discussions with knowledgeable industry and market observers and with
representatives of such companies (often at the invitation of management).
The Reporting Persons do not believe they possess material inside information
concerning the Issuer. As a result of these analytical activities one or
more of the Reporting Persons may issue analysts reports, participate in
interviews or hold discussions with third parties or with management in which
the Reporting Person may suggest or take a position with respect to potential
changes in the operations, management or capital structure of such companies
as a means of enhancing shareholder values. Such suggestions or positions
may relate to one or more of the transactions specified in clauses (a)
through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D including, without limitation, such
matters as disposing of one or more businesses, selling the company or
acquiring another company or business, changing operating or marketing
strategies, adopting or not adopting, certain types of anti-takeover measures
and restructuring the company's capitalization or dividend policy.
Each of the Reporting Persons intends to adhere to the foregoing
investment philosophy with respect to the Issuer. However, none of the
Reporting Persons intends to seek control of the Issuer or participate in the
management of the Issuer, and any Reporting Person that is registered as an
investment company under the 1940 Act will participate in such a transaction
only following receipt of an exemption from the SEC under Rule 17d-1 under
the 1940 Act, if required, and in accordance with other applicable law. In
pursuing this investment philosophy, each Reporting Person will continuously
assess the Issuer's business, financial condition, results of operations and
prospects, general economic conditions, the securities markets in general and
those for the Issuer's securities in particular, other developments and other
investment opportunities, as well as the investment objectives and
diversification requirements of its shareholders or clients and its fiduciary
duties to such shareholders or clients. Depending on such assessments, one
or more of the Reporting Persons may acquire additional Securities or may
determine to sell or otherwise dispose of all or some of its holdings of
Securities. Although the Reporting Persons share the same basic investment
philosophy and although most portfolio decisions are made by or under the
supervision of Mario Gabelli, the investment objectives and diversification
requirements of various clients differ from those of other clients so that
one or more Reporting Persons may be acquiring Securities while others are
disposing of Securities.
With respect to voting of the Securities, the Reporting Persons
have adopted general voting policies relating to voting on specified issues
affecting corporate governance and shareholder values. Under these policies,
the Reporting Persons generally vote all securities over which they have
voting power in favor of cumulative voting, financially reasonable golden
parachutes, one share one vote, management cash incentives and pre-emptive
rights and against greenmail, poison pills, supermajority voting, blank check
preferred stock and super-dilutive stock options. Exceptions may be made
when management otherwise demonstrates superior sensitivity to the needs of
shareholders. In the event that the aggregate voting position of all joint
filers shall exceed 25% of the total voting position of the issuer then the
proxy voting committees of each of the Funds shall vote their Fund's shares
independently.
Each of the Covered Persons who is not a Reporting Person has
purchased the Securities reported herein as beneficially owned by him for
investment for his own account or that of one or more members of his
immediate family. Each such person may acquire additional Securities or
dispose of some or all of the Securities reported herein with respect to him.
Other than as described above, none of the Reporting Persons and
none of the Covered Persons who is not a Reporting Person has any present
plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any transaction, change
or event specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
Item 5. Interest In Securities Of The Issuer
(a) The aggregate number of Securities to which this Schedule 13D
relates is 457,000 shares, representing 5.45% of the 8,391,244 shares
outstanding as reported in the Issuer's most recent Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended November 30, 2003. The Reporting Persons beneficially own those
Securities as follows:

Gabelli Funds
Gabelli Advisors

0.00%
Mario Gabelli is deemed to have beneficial ownership of the
Securities owned beneficially by each of the foregoing persons. GSI is deemed
to have beneficial ownership of the Securities owned beneficially by Gabelli &
Company. GBL and Gabelli Partners are deemed to have beneficial ownership of
the Securities owned beneficially by each of the foregoing persons other than
Mario Gabelli and the Foundation.
(b) Each of the Reporting Persons and Covered Persons has the sole
power to vote or direct the vote and sole power to dispose or to direct the
disposition of the Securities reported for it, either for its own benefit or
for the benefit of its investment clients or its partners, as the case may be,
except that (i) GAMCO does not have the authority to vote 2,000 of the reported
shares, (ii) Gabelli Funds has sole dispositive and voting power with respect
to the shares of the Issuer held by the Funds so long as the aggregate voting
interest of all joint filers does not exceed 25% of their total voting interest
in the Issuer and, in that event, the Proxy Voting Committee of each Fund shall
respectively vote that Fund's shares, (iii) at any time, the Proxy Voting
Committee of each such Fund may take and exercise in its sole discretion the
entire voting power with respect to the shares held by such fund under special
circumstances such as regulatory considerations, and (iv) the power of Mario
Gabelli, GBL, and Gabelli Partners is indirect with respect to Securities
beneficially owned directly by other Reporting Persons.
(c) Information with respect to all transactions in the
Securities which were effected during the past sixty days or since the most
recent filing on Schedule 13D, whichever is less, by each of the Reporting
Persons and Covered Persons is set forth on Schedule II annexed hereto and
incorporated herein by reference.
(d) The investment advisory clients of, or partnerships managed
by, GAMCO, Gabelli Funds, Gabelli Advisers and MJG Associates have the sole
right to receive and, subject to the notice, withdrawal and/or termination
provisions of such advisory contracts and partnership arrangements, the sole
power to direct the receipt of dividends from, and the proceeds of sale of,
any of the Securities beneficially owned by such Reporting Persons on behalf
of such clients or partnerships. Except as noted, no such client or
partnership has an interest by virtue of such relationship that relates to
more than 5% of the Securities.
(e) Not applicable.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships
with Respect
to Securities of the Issuer
The powers of disposition and voting of Gabelli Funds, Gabelli
Advisers, GAMCO, MJG Associates and Gemini with respect to Securities owned
beneficially by them on behalf of their investment advisory clients, and of
MJG Associates and GSI with respect to Securities owned beneficially by them
on behalf of the partnerships which they directly or indirectly manage, are
held pursuant to written agreements with such clients, partnerships and
funds.
