BlackWolf Turbo Lite Plus 240 Tent

G'day Milissa,

This isn't a darkroom style tent, so it doesn't have any light suppression coatings.
They wont be darker than a typical tent style, so if you are wanting a light blocking option, you'd need the BLK model which we have in the 300 Plus

G'day Guy,

The tent inner is made from the same fabric ultimately as the fly cap, and has the same waterhead rating.
Generally, the fly cap is designed to provide relief from UV damage, as well as protecing the inner tent from bird poop, twigs, leaf litter, etc.

We don't have a video on that sorry, Barry, but they are relatively straight forward to use.

The Black Wolf guy ropes are contained within the zippered pouches on the fly of the Turbo, you just need to remove the guy rope and peg then out at approximately 45 degrees on the corners and around 1-1.5 metres out from the edge of the tent, then tighten until it is just firm.

Is there anything specific outside of this that you are unsure about?

G'day Jinna,

We'd need some more information about the leaking to be able to direct you further, however, we do have a video walking you through the multiple different options for re-waterproofing tents, based on the actual issue you have.
Check this out here, and if you still have questions or need further info after that, please get intouch on 1300 914 007.

G'day Graeme,

The Turbo Lite tents are a 3-4 season tent, and in general, they should be able to handle light snow. We've had customers use them in light snow conditions and reports are they went fairly well. If there was going to be medium/heavy snow it would be important to monitor how much snow is on the tent fly and regularly clearing it off as they won't shed snow in some areas. The only other options we'd recommend for 3-4 season use are canvas tents, or the Oztent RV-3 Lite, which is similar in style to the Turbo Lite range, but a little smaller internally than the Turbo Lite Plus 240.

G'day Erica,

We'd recommend using K-Tape, it's made from a similar material, and can be trimmed to size, and used to sandwich the tear.

G'day Anthony,

Seam Seal or Seam Grip will do a good job of filling in the stretches and ensuring your fly doesn't leak in these patches. Alternately if there are holes in the fabric then K-Tape or Tenacious Tape might be a slightly better option.

G'day Lisa,

The Turbo Lite Plus 240 Tent awning is part of the tent fly and therefore must be set up and secured. There is no way to roll or fold up the awning.

G'day Tim,

Yes, you can connect two turbo tents together using a Turbo Lite Extenda Awning Gutter.

G'day Daniel,

You'll need to set up the entire tent including the rear bedroom section anytime you set it up.

G'day Alan,

The Black Wolf Turbo Tents were updated in 2017, so all of our current tent stock is the most recent model with the improvements outlined in our blog post. Most of the stock we currently have was manufactured in 2018 or 2019.

G'day Kyles,

The Turbo Lite Plus 240 Tent has a solid inner so it will be warmer than a tent that has a vented roof. They have lots of ventilation options if you need to use them, but if you don't you can zip everything up securely.

G'day Amy,

Thanks for getting in touch, unfortunately, the awning screen rooms for the Turbo Range are only suitable for the 3 pole style awning design. Black Wolf previously had a range of accessories for the older 2 pole awning design but we can no longer get our hands on any of these.

G'day Alzina,

The Black Wolf Turbo Plus 240 Tent does take a little longer to set up than the standard 240 but only by a couple of minutes. You can see the full set up on our YouTube channel here. 

G'day Pete,

I've given Black Wolf a buzz to double check this for you. The bloke I spoke to was 90% sure that the back window on the Black Wolf Turbo Lite Plus 240 Tent was gusseted but he was going to go and double check it for us. As soon as I hear anything back, I'll let you know the outcome. 

Sorry for the delay here Pete, we are pretty sure the window is gusseted, but don't have one of these on display at the moment to confirm.

We are waiting on details from Black Wolf, I'll let you know as soon as I have the info from them.

G'day Pete,

Thanks for your patience mate. I had confirmation this morning from Black Wolf that the back window on the Turbo Lite Plus 240 Tent is gusseted, just like the side windows. 

G'day John,

The pooling and leaking of water on the plus sections of these tents isn't something we've had problems with, neither our sales or warranties team have heard of any such issues. Some pre-2017 Turbo Tents developed a leak at the base of the tent where the wall meets the floor, but this has been rectified with modified seams and seam seals on the on current versions. Black Wolf Turbo Tents are good to go straight out of the box and they are covered by an excellent warranty, should you come across any manufacturing issues all you need to do is get in touch with us and we'll address it straight away.

G'day Tracy,

That's correct. The feature of the 'Plus' model is the additional room at the rear and the line indicates the separation of the Black Wolf Turbo Lite Plus 240 Tent.

G'day Ken, 

I've just noticed that even though I answered your question the other day, for some reason it's no appearing on the website. I have no idea what happened there or if you recieved my original reply so I'll answer it again just in case. 

There are a couple of differences between the 2016 and 2017 Turbo tents from Black Wolf. The main ones are that the 2017 models are tape seam sealed where the floor meets the tent wall seam, the fly has wider corners to prevent water coming through, the windows and doors have stronger mesh, and there is extra reinforcing along the ridge poles.  

We've got a blog post that goes into detail about the updates, which sounds like it would be quite helpful for you. You can have a read of it here if you like.
