Awning end caps
I have a 92 Scamp 16' with an A&E Catalina 2500 awning. I need the end cap with part 720012-001. Can't find anywhere so I thought I'd throw this line in the water and see if I get a bite.

Ready to go
It's still a Scamp and it's still 25 years old but it sure looks a lot different than when I picked it up six months ago. Put a few coats of polish on, buffed out, and we're ready to go.
