Turbo Plus 300 Tent

G'day Joanne,

The Black Wolf Turbo Plus 300 was last updated in mid to late 2017, so this is the most recent model available. 

G'day Dylan,

When brand new, the Black Wolf Turbo Plus 300 Tent comes with 37 steel pegs. I'd suggest grabbing that many and then maybe a couple of spares just in case. 40 should get you safely out of trouble for your trip. 

G'day Allen,

If you're looking to pitch a tent for 6 months at a time, most tents will start to really weather under the sun's UV rays. Whilst the Black Wolf Turbo Plus 300 Tent is a pretty strong tent that should withstand the students using it, I'm not convinced it will stand up to the sun for such long periods of time. If you put a "sacrificial" tarp over the top of it or regularly UV treated it, then it would most likely do the job for you. If you wanted a tent to be permanently erected, I would suggest something that is a pure cotton canvas, not something that is a mixed fibre like these tents. 

G'day Yvonne,

I've just had a chat with our warranties manager, who takes all our customers' warranty concerns to manufacturers on their behalf. He said that Black Wolf are one of the easiest companies to deal with. He said that it should be worth noting that it's a limited lifetime warranty, so once the tent has been damaged by you (or someone else) then it's not covered by the warranty. He also mentioned that if you register your product online with Black Wolf as per the tag on the tent, then it speeds up the process even more. 

G'day Kellie,

The side panels for the Black Wolf Turbo range are the same, so you'll be able to switch them over but the front panels are all different and you'd need to get one specific to your tent. 

G'day Peter, 

Something that a lot of people do for all tents, not just the Black Wolf Turbo Plus 300 Tent, is look at different swag bags that will fit their fly and poles in. Many of the larger ones will be more than enough for what you're needing. 

G'day Monique,

Great question. We haven't sold a Basecamp or Super Fly for some time and don't hold any stock for them, so we can't physically check this, but I'd assume that you would still be okay as dimensions for the tent from my knowledge haven't changed from earlier models.

G'day Adam,

While they're not currently listed on our website, these are the straps you're after. We do have them available, so if you'd like to give us a call on 1300 914 007, we can give you a price and help you make the order.

G'day Adam,

You could look at considering options from our Duffle Bag range depending on the size you're after.

And we'll be able to sort a spare bag out for you - just give our team a buzz on 1300 914 007 and they'll look after you!

G'day Mary,

The details we have on these tents state S17 so yes they are the most recent model.

G'day Kacey, 

The awning of the RV5 is 200 x 260, and the awning on the Black Wolf Turbo Plus 300 is 250 x 180. Overall the Turbo 300 Plus is far more spacious, but the awnings on both the RV and Turbo can be turned into an extended living area with side and front panels available to each tent.

It also may help to watch a video set up of the RV5 here, and then compare it to the Turbo 300 Plus here starting at 5:00. 

As you do have a toddler, you probably would need to get your tent up as ASAP when you get to the campsite, so for that reason I would say the RV5 would be your best bet even though it's less roomy. 

At the end of the day, once you lay a groundsheet down, set up the tent, put the awning over and peg it all out by yourself, the Turbo may set you back a good 20 mins, whereas the RV5 is going to be a lot faster, as the frame takes 30 secs - and once you peg it out etc you should be done in under 5 minutes.

A touring tent like this is a big investment, so if you have any other queries – give us a buzz on 1300 914 007 and one of the Snowys team will be happy to help. 

Hi Karl,

The rear bedroom is 1.8m by 3m so at a squeeze would fit two stretchers that are 80cm wide each with a bit of space between. 

G’day Bala,

It will depend on the size of the boot, this particular tent is 145L x 38W x 40H cm when packed up in its bag.

It's not clear online what the dimensions of a Toyota Camry's boot is, so the easiest way would be to give it a once over with a tape measure and compare that to the packed dimensions of the Turbo 300 Plus Tent. 

G’day Ben,

The packed size of the Turbo Plus 300 Tent when it’s in the bag is 145L x 38W x 40H cm. As for whether it will fit in the boot of either of those cars, we’re not entirely sure what the exact measurements are as it’s not clear on Toyota/Honda’s website. The best way to figure this out would be for you to whip out a tape measure and then compare it to the measurements listed above.
