If you look in the search area under Trigano Olympe you will see adaptation I have done, which includes changing the electric pump to mains, (as per my reply to your other post), putting wheels on the kitchen, turning the central cabin into a third double bed, etc.
The original feet that came with the 2009-11 models had white nylon bed leg feet, which always bent, Trigano brought out a grey harder plastic bed leg foot in 2012, which does not bend. We have changed ours for the new ones and had no problems since.
Never had any problem with the electric junction box underneath.
We use dust sheets under the ZIG, which last us for a few outings.
We changed all our tatty, nasty cheap Trigano guy lines for the yellow sunncamp ones.
You will need poles 76,77&78 for the roof, which definitely stops a swimming pool on the roof when it rains. You will need to cut a hole in the centre of the cover that goes over the bed to allow the pole to connect. It is also advisable to wrap the kink in the pole with a small towel to stop it rubbing the canavs as the roof canvas on the 2009 model is not double lined as it is on the 2010 and onward models .
If you want to know anything else about the Olympe if I can help please ask.

Well, I picked up the "new" (to me) Olympe today, and I'm not so sure if it is a 2009 model, as it has what I think is this anti-ponding pole, and the canvas is double lined where it fits. Griff, is it a 3 section affair - a T shaped piece of tube, a bent pole and an adjustable bit with a clip on the end, parts 903267, 903266 and 903265 on the Trigano pole diagram, and it goes dead centre in the awning roof? They don't appear on the instructions I've been given, which are dated 2009, but as above they do appear on the pole diagram! Maybe it's a late 2009 model, by which point they'd found the problem and fixed it. Also - has anyone got the sun canopy? Any idea why it comes with 5 poles? The instructions say 5 poles, but we could only see where 4 went and I've noticed that in Trigano's own promotional pictures only 4 can be seen. Finally - having put it up today I can't believe how much quicker and easier the Olympe is to put up compared to my old Chantilly! Quote: Originally posted by griff10553 on 30/9/2012
