Hi all, I'm writing from the White Mountains of New Hampshire, where my little family and I recently acquired an amazing 1984 Bonair BA 1300 camper/travel trailer in pretty great condition, and all original inside!
I’m excited to dig into the forum and learn from your community. The main question I’ve arrived here with is regarding the awning on our camper, which is made by Carefree of Colorado. While this awning does work in some manner, we’re definitely missing a handful of parts—some of which I’ve already sourced, and a bunch I’ve yet to identify.
I was wondering if anyone here may have a copy of the original Carefree Awnings manual from the mid-80s for Trailers & Motor Homes with Straight Sides to possibly share. I think the manual cover may look like the one below, except this version is from 1981.
I’ll post more about our camper adventures soon, and am looking forward to connecting with folks here along the way!
Cheers,
Josh
