      Re:   Form S-3 Registration Statement

Gentlemen:

      At your request, we have acted as counsel for Miller
Industries, Inc., a Tennessee corporation (the "Company"), in the
preparation of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the
"Registration Statement") relating to [5,642,567] shares of Common
Stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Company (the "Common
Stock"), which may be offered for sale from time to time by certain
selling shareholders (the "Selling Shareholders").

          As your counsel, and in connection with the preparation of
the Registration Statement, we have examined the originals or copies
of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public
officials, officers of the Company and other instruments relating to
the authorization and issuance of the Common Stock as we deemed
relevant or necessary for the opinions herein expressed.  On the
basis of the foregoing, it is our opinion that the shares of the
Common Stock to be sold by the Selling Shareholders as described in
the Registration Statement were validly issued by the Company and
are fully-paid and nonassessable.

     We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit
to the Registration Statement and further consent to the use of our
name wherever appearing in the Registration Statement, including the
Prospectus constituting a part thereof, and any amendments thereto.

                                   Sincerely,

                                   KILPATRICK STOCKTON LLP


                                   By:  /s/ David A. Stockton
