The maker’s own owner’s manual for each model year on this page, linked where the maker publishes it. Each link goes to the maker’s file, labelled as the maker labels it; a year with no manual of its own is not filled from another year.

The record at the top of this page is the 212FB from 2023. The maker’s own documents for earlier model years also list the 212FB, and those 2 years are, each from its own brochure printed here: 2021 to 2022. The figures change from year to year, so check the year on the trailer’s own label. A field a year’s brochure does not print reads “Not published” and is never filled from another year.
