 RE: Carefree of Colorado awnings
I may be the one that suggested that the 'crank out' awnings from Carefree
of Colorado were Fiammas.  Just yeaterday I had a chance to see one of the
current Carfree awnings and I do believe that Carfree is a nearly identical
design but NOT made by Fiamma.  I've seen an older Carefree, not the crank
out design, that appeared to be a copy of or identical to a Fiamma 35.  But
the current models of the Carefree appear to be clones of the Fiamma with
design changes that are subtle to see if you are not familiar with the
Fiamma.  BUT, the A&E/Dometic Horizon models being sold at Camping World are
definitely Fiammas re branded.  I took a very close look the last time I was
at Camping World.  I have a Fiamma 45 and the two are identical.
