Hi we have just got our new trigano oceane 315 GL and are finding our way round it!! As we have never had a trailer tent before we were just wondering if anyone could tell us the best way to put it up. 

So far we have opened out the beds - no problem.  it's the awning, do we put the frame up first properley and drag the awning over it OR do we set the frame out pull the awning over then put the frame up fully.

We are going on a test run in a week so any advice would be extremely grateful.

Take Care

We put the frame up but don't extend it fully out to the front, bring the canvas over, then stretch the poles and lock them in place. But I guess all are different, and you find the best way for you with a bit of practice! I tried lowering the frame so i could reach easier, but now I use the step instead. It doubles as a support under the tt cover to stop water pooling during storage so it's always there..... That's the best for ours anyway...have fun!

Gone are the 'sleeping on the floor' times, I love my TT.

You have the right idea. We would set the cabin up then the frame leaving the front low throw the awning over and pull it up to the cabin zip it and then raise the front and stretch the poles.

In computer terms, if you get stuck, RTFM.
