Hello - we have just purchased are 1st caravan which is a 1997 Jubilee Herald. It has come with a full Trio Family awning, however no instructions. We are complete novices and don't have a clue how to put the poles together as they are not coded.
Does anyone have the same awning that they could share their instructions with?
Thanks in advance :-)

If you put trio awning in the search facility there are a load of posts on the subject, just a case of wading through them.

Maybe this

or
I had a trio family 850 up to a couple of years ago and found it eazy peezy to put up. A damn site easier than my current Isabella.

If yours is the same pole arrangement as mine try the following



Lay the poles out on the ground at the side of the van.If you look closely the pole ends should be numbered, the same number fits together.



1 You will have 3 "half length" poles with a hook on one end, these fasten into the eyes on the van buffers that stretch the awning against the van. place one at each side and one in the middle of the van.



2 There are three tubes that fit into the ones above to support the front uprights and the cross members. Two are the same, these go at the sides of the awning and the one that is slightly different (more short tubes sticking out of it) goes in the middle.Lock them in place with the screw fitting.



3 The front outer uprights are made up of two sections that extend on "notches" the center upright is made up of 3 sections with the bottom one adjustable on notches also. lay these out at each front corner of the awning and in the middle.



4 The front cross members are each made up of 2 sections these are usually fastened together with a spring steel clip and wire. lay these out accross the front of the awning.The top sections of the uprights may also have wire fastenings holding them together.



5 The 3 short tubes with hooks, support the front canopy.


Found on another forum post circa 2005.

This is pretty typical of how most awnings fit together. You should be able to work it out from this

We have a Trio Midi porch awning, and they seem to be very well made and strong. We got it secondhand without any instructions, and someone on here advised us to try canvaslove.co.uk and that is where we found just what we needed.

One of our awnings is a trio which had no instructions. Have a look at any recommendations above.
Then take the awning out (somewhere with space - don't need van)
Put all the poles on the ground
Spread them out you should be able to see (roughly) what goes where
See if that works
Then take photos and colour code /number joining points

We have done this even with awning with instructions as sometimes they are not intuitive.

Good luck and take your time.

Our Trio came with a pole diagram. It has numbers on the end of each pole. They match the numbers on the actual poles ..... but you have to look for them.
