Following on from this thread thought I'd start this one to see how many others own a Trio tent, and to see what other information we could find/share.

Pics will be a great help too

So, here's mine:

According to the Ebay ad when we bought it, it was made in 1990's and if the label on one of the bags is anything to go by, then it is a Home 7 model:

Ooooo 80's could be likely,  the previous owner was a bit sketchy with details like that, as he too had bought it 2nd (at least) hand.

Any information you might get as a reply Pingvin I would be interested in.  Probably best you do the contacting, rather than me, as my knowledge of things Danish stretches about as far as bacon

I do like the colours and style of your tent doubt if the Mrs would have gone for one in those colours though   as one of the things she liked about ours before we bought it, was its subdued colour scheme.

Hope you have a great trip in your tent Pengvin, ours isn't due out till middle of next month for a local weekend to be pitched amongst a few caravans.

According to the previous owner its a 6 birth, but reading the label, it might be a 7!  The bedroom bit stretches right across the back of the tent, with two 'curtains' which can be hung to section it off - should know a bit more once we get it up, all properly pegged down and use it.  The photo above was taken when we test pitched it, to make sure it was all there.

Ah, Pingvin, she looks lovely   You really need to find out if she's waterproof before your next trip   If she's been stored away for a long time she may need a good soaking to make the fibres close up again. Pitch her in your own/relatives/friends/neighbours garden and hose her thoroughly, then let her dry completely before packing her away. It helps if you can get some fool, sorry, kind friend to stand inside the tent while you hose it, to tell you whether a fine mist of water comes through.

A new zip shouldn't be hard to find, do a google search for tent spares. If you can get a YKK zip, it will certainly last the tent out. 

Almost every google search relating to Trio tents that I did, came up with Trio Sports, which have the same logo.

Didn't realise they were now Dutch though!  Hopefully your Danish camping forum will turn up some more info for us

Hi
