BlackWolf Turbo Air Twin Tent
Details & Specs
All air, no poles, the Black Wolf Turbo Air Tent features Air Poles that make set up a breeze (pardon the pun) and set down even easier, with a pack size that fits easily into your vehicle.
It takes just a few minutes with the included high volume air pump on a single valve and your Turbo Air Tent is ready to occupy, the only poles you will have to mess with are the three used to pitch the front awning. Pack up is even easier, deflate the poles, fold, roll and go!
Made to the quality we have come to expect from the Black Wolf Turbo Range, the Turbo Air Tent is a fast, easy and lightweight alternative to otherwise bulky touring tents and is perfect for a weekend getaway or touring couple.

How does this compare to the Coleman Instant Up Northstar Dark 10P Tent.1 answer
What is easier to erect, pack up and more wind and weather resistant.
Michael - Tamworth(8 years ago)
G'day Michael,
Great question. It's very hard to split these two tents, with the major difference being that the Coleman Instant Northstar Dark Room 10P Tent is constructed with steel poles and the Black Wolf Turbo Air Twin Tent with TPU inflatable poles. One of the great things about inflatable poles is that they can handle far more pressure from the wind because there is some 'give' in the poles. However, in terms of set up, the steel poles make set up and pack down just a little bit easier to manage.

what kilometer winds is it waranted to withstand1 answer
What kilometer winds is it waranted too
simon - tanilba bay(8 years ago)
G'day Simon,
Black Wolf don't specify a wind rating for the Turbo Air Twin Tent sorry. The Turbo Air tents aren't specifically designed to withstand strong wind gusts but when pegged out properly and using all available guy ropes they'll perform as well as any other tent this size.

Bedroom Size1 answer
Hi, Could you please tell me if the bedrooms at each end would fit a queen size mattress?
Catherine - Redfern(9 years ago)
G'day Catherine,
The sleeping areas to each side are 3m x 1.8m. The good news is that most queen size mattresses are between 1.4m - 1.6m wide which should give you enough space to fit it in. We reckon' it's good to have a 10cm buffer on the side to accommodate for the sloping tent wall. Make sure you double check the width of your mattresses however just to make sure.

comparison with zemphire tl1 answer
Hello, we are trying to decide between these tents for camping in the victorian climate. We have two little kids. The zemphire looks to have a lot more ventilation but the black wolf potentially more room. Do you have a recommendation? Thanks
claire - castlemaine(9 years ago)
Howdy Claire.
These are both fantastic quality tents, and sit at the top of the tent range.
My experience with both tents would indicate to me that the Zempire would sit a little higher for useability than the Black Wolf and its side walls are a little more upright allowing for more useable space. The head room in both is great with the Zempire overall being a little higher and brighter inside. The Black wolf wings are slightly lower so may require a little ducking if you are a taller person. The Zempire also boasts a 5000mm waterproof rating whereas the Black Wolf has a lesser 2000mm, so that could be also taken into consideration.

Do you have an ideal tarp size for this tent?1 answer
Hi, I would like to buy this tent and would need a tarp along with it. Is there any specific one / size you could recommend?
Farhan - Morley(10 years ago)
G’day Farhan, I’ve had a gander at our tarp range, and the size that would best fit the Black Wolf Turbo Air Twin Tent is the Kookaburra Dura Green Heavy Duty Tarp 16 x 20 ft/ 4.88 x 6.1m size (Snowys code: 46665). The Kookaburra tarp is a great all-rounder tarp that will give you a little bit of space around the outside of the tent, so you should have pretty thorough protection when used with the Turbo.

Can the pump pipe be replaced?1 answer
The pipe connecting the pump to the pole air inlets has been damaged and comes loose when pumping. Can this be replaced on its own?
Gareth - TERREY HILLS, NSW(10 years ago)
We would have to look into this for you Gareth, it is not something that is readily available. If you purchased the tent from us then please send some photos of the damage to warranty@snowys.com.au, then we can relay the information to Black Wolf and see if they are able to help. If you purchased it somewhere locally then it may be easier to take it back to the store where you bought it for some help. Let us know either way how you go with this.
Ben - Snowys(10 years ago)
Are the inners, suspended in the outer - or do you have to pull the flysheet over as with traditional tents ?1 answer
Retief - 4558(11 years ago)
G'day, the fly is always attached to the tent in an air tent and they come straight out of the box like that. This makes for a very fast setup. Thanks.

standing the wind1 answer
Hi, How well will it stay up and straight in wind? Are the air poles as good as metal/Alu' frame? At the moment I have the Coleman instant up (8p) and just open and secure the floor with no ropes.... Thanks
Amir - BENTLEIGH EAST, VIC(11 years ago)
Hi Amir, in our opinion the alloy framed Turbo Tents will withstand wind better than both the Air Tents and the Coleman Instant Up range. We recommend always using guy ropes when setting up your tent, it increases the structural integrity of your shelter. Not using the guy ropes can void your warranty should any issues arise.
Ben - Snowys(11 years ago)
How many air poles are there to inflate? Are the only metal poles the 3 on the awning?1 answer
I had an old turbo which had two pole setups at either end to support the side rooms. I was wondering if these are now air poles.
Jonathan - Brisbane(11 years ago)
You're right Jonathon, the poles throughout the main part of the tent are all air poles, four in total. The only alloy poles are those used for the awning.

Head height in side room?1 answer
Hi Ben, What's the head night in the side rooms?
Bruce Wayne - JINDABYNE, NSW(11 years ago)
Hi Bruce, we don't have one of these pitched in our store at the moment, so I cannot confirm exact measurements for you. I have stood in one though, and at 185cm tall, I wouldn't classify the height as 'standing space', it then tapers down as you get closer to the ends. The central height is 2.2m,, so the side rooms would start at approximately 1.8m near the door. I will try and get some measurements next time we have one up in the store.

Power Inlet3 answers
We have just bought the Turbo Air Twin from you, do you know why Black Wolf have excluded the Zippered Power Inlet from this model? I have just checked the Turbo Twin which is vertically the same tent and it is included.
Steve - Jannaway(11 years ago)
Hi Steve, I'm not sure of the reason why, I am following this up and will post my findings back here for you.
Ben - Snowys(11 years ago)
Well that's just plain silly by BW!
Ned A Newtent - Brisbane(11 years ago)
Hi Steve, I don't have a reason why the power inlet was not included, it is not on any of the Turbp Air Tents. I spoke to our Black Wolf representative about it, maybe it's an improvement they can make down the track!!
Ben - Snowys(11 years ago)
Is the door just a mesh door or both a mesh and solid?1 answer
Just asking as it makes a big difference for winter camping.
Matt - NSW(11 years ago)
Hi again Matt, the external door features both mesh and privacy panels making the tent suitable for both warm and cold weather camping.
Ben - Snowys(11 years ago)
How well ventilated is the fly?2 answers
Is there much ventilation between the fly and the tent body given that these use air poles? Would this tent be more prone to condensation than a normal turbo tent?
Matt - NSW(11 years ago)
Hi Matt, the fly provides good ventilation. Gusseted windows that can be left open during rain combine with roof vents to provide air flow in all conditions.
Ben - Snowys(11 years ago)
On your condensation query, there will be no difference in the way condensation is handled between the Turbo Air Tents and standard Turbo Tents. On cold nights you will get condensation inside the fly, as you would on all tents. This will not occur on the inner of the tent, and the roof vents and gusseted windows help to minimise this, as well as dry it out in the morning.

Is the room divider in the Twin version a curtain or a zippered door?1 answer
Blackwolf rep told me the room divider is a curtain that isn't connected to the floor however the photo shows what looks to be a zippered door. I think she was confused between the Plus and the Twin. Can you confirm which is correct?
Matt - NSW(11 years ago)
Hi Matt, the Turbo Air Tents all feature D shaped room divider/s with full length zipper and a pocket to stash the door in whilst open as per the pictures on our website This differs from the curtain style room dividers on traditional Turbo Tents.

What happens if the inflatable frame punctures, is it easy to repair/ replace?5 answers
Judy - Perth(11 years ago)
Hi Judy, the bladders in the air poles are secured with full length a zipper. I am just confirming the availability of replacements and if they can be repaired. I will post my findings here as soon as I hear back from our supplier.
Ben - Snowys(11 years ago)
Hi again Judy. Word from our supplier is that should an Air Pole puncture, they will need to be replaced and there is a full length zipper on the pole cover to facilitate this. Replacement bladders should be available as a spare part soon. The covers for the poles are made of a durable fabric, and the pump incorporates a cutout valve so they cannot be over-inflated. With a little care, it is unlikely you will experience a puncture.
Ben - Snowys(11 years ago)
Also extremely interested in this. Tossing up between the air and the equivalent pole tent. I like the air concept but being stuck in the bush with a punctured bladder that can't be patched and not a replacement air pole in sight. Is there any update to this query ?
Mark - Brisbane(11 years ago)
Hi Mark, sorry about my delayed reply, I only just noticed your query this morning. Replacement bladders will be available, we don't have them at the moment but they aren't far away.
Ben - Snowys(11 years ago)
G'day Daniel,
We need to place special orders for bladders depending on Black Wolf's stock availability.
If you can give us a buzz on 1300 914 007, our customer support team can look into this further for you.

Does this new air tent twin have the same internal design as the turbo lite twin 300?1 answer
With very little pics it is hard to gauge the design differences of this model.
Leon - Mt Barker WA(11 years ago)
Hi Leon, the internal dimensions and configuration for the Turbo Air Twin is much the same as the Turbo Twin 300. The main difference is that the awning covers less space than the traditional Turbo Tent designs, 1.2m out for the Turbo Air and 1.8m for Turbo and Turbo Lite models.
Ben - Snowys(11 years ago)
What accessories go with this and what is the availiablity/stock? Waiting period?1 answer
Dylon - SCARBOROUGH, WA(11 years ago)
Hi Dylon, currently Black Wolf are not making acessories for these tents, and we are not aware of any upcoming additions. These tents are currently available and increasing in popularity with more and more orders coming through each week.
Ben - Snowys(11 years ago)
Can I use the pump for my mattress?1 answer
Just wondering if the pump used for the Black Wolf Air tents, can also be used for airbeds/mattresses? Looking to buy a couple of Coleman airbeds too.
Scott - MALVERN EAST, VIC(11 years ago)
Hi Scott, we looked into this recently for another customer query. The pump that comes with the Turbo Air Tents have two attachments that can be used with a variety of air beds. We tested it on the Coleman Quickbeds, and while it could be used the fitting was slightly smaller than a standard Coleman airbed valve. We needed to hold the end of the pump hose in the valve to stop it falling out during inflation.
