72 Carefree awning

I am trying to piece together a Carefree awning from a 1972 Airstream. I have the tube and both curved arms...and nothing else. I am sure there would have been some support arms attached to camper? Also I see no top brackets? If anyone can help with parts...diagram or pics I would be grateful. I have a 76 Argosy with a Carefree awning and it is different than the one I am working on.

Thanks for the manual. This awning is exactly like the one on my 76 Argosy. The awning on the 72 Airtstream is different. I tried to attach a couple pics. I am new to this and so I am not quite sure what I am doing. I am trying to identify model and get some parts/manual for this awning.

I also have a 72 Carefree awning. I don't really know where to start in getting it fixed. The curved arms are there. The roller seems to work, but won't lock down. The back curved arm has a brace inside it, the front does not. I assume the front piece is missing....how do I even start??
