We finally bought our first trailer tent today after much searching, a Trigano Cheverny GL 2003. It looks like its in great condition and had a few extras thrown in. We're very very excited and can't wait to try it out.

It doesn't come with any instructions though. Does anyone know where I could find them online?

Thanks

Jo

The trigowners group has a diagram of the awning poles, but we got the same one and its not hard.....although previous owner had colour coded the poles which helped.

Congrats, we love ours

This is the file on their website, not the best but better than nothing.

Most of the poles are spring loaded, so as long as they are intact, just put everything together lay it out and you can tell where everything goes.......mostly.

Just have a practice like we did before we went

Thanks for that and I'll have a look at joining the group too. The previous owner has colour coded the poles so hopefully that will help too.

Any tips or hints for putting up that we should bear in mind considering we've never done this before?

Now just need this rotten weather to clear so we can get it out and have a play!

Check the poles for straightness, it can be a disaster iftrying to put up and the poles a even slightly bent, especiallyifit rains and is windy. Ensurethat the piles are clean, a wipe with a cloth andsilicone spray helps, just wipe again afterwards.

Practice first and take your time, you will find help/hints,etc, on the TrigOwners site.

Regards,

Tony

take with you some electrical tape, that way you can re-new any pole markings.

Also take a permanent marker, once you have the awning on and everything set up, mark the poles to where they need to be extended to, this helps for next time.

I have some of these attached to the end of all of my guy ropes, you can detach them when packing up - useful if its been raining as guy ropes take longer to dry plus its tidier.

Have some of these spare, when we put ours up, several of the threads of the awning poles wouldn't tighten so we needed about 4.

I took the poles into camperlands to buy mine, so I could buy the right size.

We put up the main cabin up and zipped on the awning then threw it back over the main cabin - we then built the frame and pulled the awning back over the fully constructed frame.

Some adjustments will need to be made to make it all sit properly, once done, that when you use the perm marker for next time.

Forgot to say, before you peg everything down, make sure the awning storm flap is covering the zip where the awning is attached to the main cabin

Wow, some great tips there thank you.

We managed to have a look at the awning the other evening, laid out on our living room floor! It looks immaculate, so we're very impressed. Can't find this colour way anywhere on the internet either.

Sat watching the rain, really hoping the summer won't be a wash out!

I don't suppose anyone has a screen shot or picture of the pole diagram as the trig owners club isn't up any more :(
