Trigano Oceane

We have just bought the Oceane (very old model) with no instructions!! The canvas was fairly easy to erect but the awning is a bit of a pain. I took off the interior materials to wash before we used it and would be glad if anyone can send me a copy of what fits where before my husband pulls out what bit of hair he has left. Other than this quite pleased.

Hi

Just bought second hand on Ebay a great little camper trailer called a Trigano Oceane which i am told from the previous owner is a 2004 model. we took it out last weeekend and overnighted in it. 2 Adults two infants and dog. The quality of the build was immediately obvious from hitching it up and towing away to setting up , very light and easy to tow. The trailer and tent have all survived extremely well, quality built and very practical features, plenty of storage in the trailer. Everything is still working. The seller described the unit as very good condition and i cannot argue. I have read the other reviews and agree with some of the negatives ie no instruction to set up , poles break, kitchen heavy and unstable etc . none of these things are in fact problems in my opinion , just areas to improve on in the future and have not hinder us in any way. Kids loved there first camping adventure. I would highly recommend buying a trigano oceane and so would my wife kids and dog

trigano Oceane 315. Very light and stable to tow. Virtually any car could tow it. Very robust canvas, and spacious and comfy beds. The kitchen is heavy (well it does include the cooker, grill pots and pans storage and even the proverbial kitchen sink and taps) and needs two to move largely because of its length, but it isn't a hassle it just needs some care lifting it off the trailer.

The cabin takes less than 5 minutes to erect once you get the hang of it, so perfect for overnight stops when the weather means pegging out isn't essential. If your staying just a couple of nights, the sun canopy zips onto the front of the cabin to make a mini-awning and only takes 10 minutes. The full awning takes a while to figure out. First time we pitched it, it took us 90 minutes trying to figure out pole lengths but once we got it, we marked the lengths with a Sharpie permanent marker on the poles and got it down to 30 minutes. Very useful pole diagrams are now available at the Trigano Owners Yahoo pages. We never used the liners. They looked too much trouble to put up just to get a small toilet tent and anyway, it was too hot and they are intended for colder weather.

We did 3500 miles in France with it last year towing it behind a Nissan Note 1.4 in all sorts of weather and nothing broke, leaked, squeaked or blew away. On one occassion a violent storm hit us in the Dordogne which blew over caravans and washed out tents with torrential rain but the Trig sailed through it without a drop of water getting into the cabin. We were bone dry and absolutely delighted. This year we are going to Black Forest in Germany and expect a similar positive experience. A quick service for the trip showed it needed nothing. Fantastic TT and well recommended.

Very easy to put up,the only trouble with towing, is I do-not know it is

on the back of the car.

We love our Trigano Oceane but it can take a while to put up and the springs broke on our poles to but it is a very hardy tent that will suit any growing family.

The Trigano Oceane is very good when put up but is a bit of a pain to put up. It is hard to go round tight corners with the trailer on but is better than a standard tent for living and is fairly big.

Trigano Oceane has a superb layout ,excellent space for families with more than 2 kids.

spacious and big windows

good quality canvas

totally watertight

easy to put up

hook up and go everything packed up in it

comfy beds off floor and extra beds in awning

I am a bit disappointed overall, It takes a long time to put up the external awning. The springs broke in the poles. I need to carry a stepladder to manage the awning. The worst feature is the kitchen on the 315GL. It is too heavey and needs two very strong adults to move it. It fell over the first time I was using it and the tail lights broke. The next time I tried leaving the door open so it wasn't top heavy, but it still fell over and broke the gas cooker. Now it's a white elephent, but I can't leave it behind because the tarpaulin wouldn't fit. I just bought a cheap two ring cooker instead. The advice of the retailer was "just pretend like it's not there". Great!

We have the Trigano Oceane 315GL. It's a fantastic trailer tent with space for 6 people, although we think we could squeeze 2 people into each under bed section making it an 8 berth. It's quick to put up - the main trailer bit is up in minutes since the beds come out with the fabric. This is not like others such as Conway, where you fold out the tent, then have to fold out the beds. The springs holding the poles together in storage broke quite easily but we don't need them. And there is no pump to get water from the aqua role into the sink.

Very comfortable and easy to tow and store. I fully recommend getting a front box.
