Ah ha, info from someone that has all the information.  Thanks Steve.
BTW, as I said in a previous post, I've looked closely at an older Carefree
that was identical to a Fiamma F35.  And the pictures and diagrams of the
Carefree on their website show them as nearly identical.  Is this a
cooperative effort or just parallel development?  Looking at the Omnistor
site it is clear that there are some differences in the external appearance
of the Omnistor vs. Fiamma, but seem to be very close in design otherwise.
