Sure! I'd be happy to scan it and give you a copy. I've also seen an earlier brochure online that I can also share. I've been collecting Rainbow information and I'll create a tread with photos soon.

Sharing on older post from me 2023 on this thread:
I have spent the past 10 years restoring a 1963 Rainbow Camper (completely restored twice long story). In all of those years I have searched the net high and low, visited the RV Museum in Ohio, and scoured the for sale markets only to come up mostly empty handed on information about Rainbow Campers. I had no idea they were so rare.
If anyone could steer me toward learning more about them I would be grateful.
Here is a link to flicker for pics of the rainbow as it is now properly restored:

It's been a year almost and I still have not had much luck learning more about this Rainbow camper. I think this was a low production model in early 60's with hopes of reviving the Rainbow brand of the early 50's and compete with Shasta. I've only seen one other camper like this one that was sold on an RV website several years ago. I reached out to the owner and she didn't know anything more than the year and make. No brochures or owner's manuals. I saw the photo bucket that was shared here, but the pics are gone now. I mean it was from 9 years ago...
Last bit of info I have to give is that this Rainbow Camper is built WAY different than a Shasta or Scotty. It's the same size, but structurally it is built more like a tank than an RV. It's very heavy, solid and a bit more klunky than I would prefer, but after the years of restoring it I'm now attached for life. But I still want to know more about it. Otherwise I just own a (one of two) 60's era Rainbow Campers.
