Turbo Groundsheets

G'day Rick,

One of our warehouse team has just whipped out the tape measure and the Groundsheet for the Turbo 240 Plus is 2.4m wide x 6.1m long.

G'day Hari,

The Black Wolf Turbo Groundsheet is available for purchase separately, so if you're after one to go with your Turbo Lite Cabin 450 then you can place an order for that size when you order the tent.

G'day Kat,

The Black Wolf Turbo Lite 240 Plus that you bought back in December 2016 has the same floor plan as the current model, so you'll have no worries at all with the current model of the Black Wolf Turbo Groundsheet. 

G'day Rob,

Not much at all, the Blackwolf Groundsheets are simply designed to precisely fit their matching tent.

G'day Oli,

Great question - we've compiled all the information you need to know for selecting a groundsheet into a blog which you can read here.

To be honest Helen, we've never set up the Turbo Tents with the groundsheets in-store, there's not much you need to look into when it comes to a groundsheet apart from the fabric it's made from and the corner terminations so there hasn't been a need to set one up.

I would expect it to come past the edges of the tent, maybe by 10cm or so. There is no hard and fast rule here, it's just designed to protect your tent floor and reduce the amount of dirt that gets on your tent, especially mud splashing onto the sides in wet weather, so the more coverage the better. 

G'day Daniel,

The Black Wolf Turbo Air Plus footprint is roughly 6.1L x 3.1W m so we'd recommend a groundsheet that can roughly fit that area. The best fitting Black Wolf Groundsheet would be the Turbo 300 Plus available here.

If you didn't want a groundsheet under the awning, you would save yourself around 1.2m in the length. A high-quality option would be the CGear Multi-Camp Mat available here. You could also consider an Oztrail Ultramesh Tarp available here.

G'day Raymond, 

I would say that they are quite similar, but the Black Wolf may be slightly higher in quality.

The main difference would be what you just said, that it's cut to fit the tent exactly, and has the eyelets in the exact points that you need them. Another point of difference is the limited lifetime warranty offered for the Black Wolf Turbo Groundsheet vs 1 year for the Oztrail. 

If you'd prefer to save money, and you don't mind the fact that it won't be the exact size then go for the Oztrail Ultramesh tarp as it will still do the job. 

G'day Nathan, 

Solid tarps have the benefit of protecting the underside of your tent, but there is that downside that it can trap condensation which we know can be frustrating. 

The Turbo groundsheets are mesh, so they should provide some breathability that will help to reduce condensation inside your tent.

You could also experiment with using shadecloth, rubber mats, or foam mats underneath your mattress to get some ventilation under your mattresses as well. If you have any other questions, feel free to give us a buzz and we can try and give you a hand Nathan. 

G'day Matt, 

Yes the Turbo 450 Groundsheet will cover the area under the awning as well as the underside of the tent. 

G'day David, 

The Turbo groundsheets only come in the sizes available online so while there is one for the Turbo 300 Plus, there isn't a model that will also cater for the area under the extenda awning as well. 

You could always use the Turbo 300 Plus groundsheet, and then use a mesh or heavy duty tarp for the area under the extenda awning. 

G'day Lucy, 

Unfortunately we haven't received them as of yet, and we don't have a solid ETA on when they arrive either. Sorry that wasn't too helpful Lucy, but keep your eye out for them as we will add them to the website when we get them in stock. 

G’day Justin,

That's a great question! The Black Wolf Turbo 300 Twin size groundsheet isn’t a traditional rectangle - it’s cut into the shape of a capital ‘T’ so it will cover the tent, and the area under the awning if that makes sense. 

G'day Aaron, 

The Turbo groundsheets are tailored to the tent, and will stop at the edge of the awning where the screen room will sit - so there won't be excess sticking out that will get in the way of the pegs. 

If you have a look at the first image on the Turbo Awning Screen Room 450 product page, you can get an idea of what the screen room looks like in action. 

All the 450 accessories are designed to fit together, so you won't have a problem using them at the same time. 

G'day Brad, 

I've just looked into this for you, and from speaking with the customer support team we've never been given that feedback for the Turbo 300 Plus groundsheet.

The Turbo groundsheets are made especially to fit the specific model of the tent, plus the space under the awning - so as long as it's the right size and positioned in the correct direction, then there shouldn't be a problem with fit.
