The Black Wolf Turbo 240 Tent is one of the Black Wolf range of original Quick Pitch Tents that have become the benchmark in tourer tents. Super fast and easy to erect they’re ideal for extended touring trips when you’re on the move. With various sizes and configurations available in both ‘heavy duty’ and ‘lite’ material, the Black Wolf Turbo Tents are unique in their class.
The Black Wolf Turbo 240 Tent features:
• Size: The 240cm square floor comfortably sleeps four people. Other sizes available are the smaller 210 (sleeps three people), and bigger 300 (sleeps five people) all with a comfortable 210cm height. • Awning: The new 3 pole awning not only handles all weather conditions but provides extra undercover space where you need it. Optional side and front panels enclose this area for even more living space. • Fly Material: The fly which comes standard, is made from tough and durable Heavy Duty Ripstop Polycotton designed to withstand rough treatment amid the toughest Australian conditions. • Floor: The bucket shaped Heavy Duty PVC floor is strong and hard wearing for years of reliable use. • Strong: The frame and poles are all of strong, lightweight and durable 25mm diameter aluminium. • Excellent Ventilation: A large front door, roof vents and large gusseted side windows provide for plenty of airflow and ventilation. • Waterproof: The seams of the fly and floor are waterproof-taped to prevent leakages and keep you dry. • Insect protection: The doors and windows are fitted with zippered fibreglass mesh to keep out flying insects. • Compact when packed: Will fit into the back of most 4WDs and doesn’t have to be carried on roof racks. • Extras touches: Zippered guy rope stow pockets to keep guy ropes tidy; a zippered power inlet with retainer tabs. • Lifetime warranty: Black Wolf are constantly improving and innovating their products. The Turbo Tent range is a perfect example of the company’s commitment to best-in-class quality and performance.
Many turbo tents are listed as a 4 season tent while a few are listed as a 3 season tent. What the difference between a 3 and 4 season turbo tent?
Will a 3 or 4 season Turbo Tent suffice during cold northern hemisphere winters below freezing with and without snow and ice?

G'day Toppin,
The difference in the season rating between the models in the Turbo tent range, is because there are two types - the canvas Turbos and the Turbo Lite tents.Â
The Turbo Lite tents have the same design as their canvas counterparts, but they are made of polyester so they're less heavy duty and more suited to 3 season weather.Â
The canvas material is heavier, and will provide more protection from the elements which is why they are recommended for 3-4 seasons of the year.Â
As for their suitability in below freezing conditions/snow - I'd say temperature wise there would be no problem as these tents are used in the high country of Australia where there is light snow.
But, they are not optimal for heavier snow as the shape of the roof is not designed to shed snow so it may collect - weighing it down and causing the roof to collapse.Â
Similarly, the Turbo canvas range is not designed for very heavy winds - so overall it will have it's limitations in Northern Hemisphere winters.Â

Ive just sold my Turbo 300 as it was too big for a couple, what size would you recommend for 2 people- the 240 or 210?1 answer
Tony - Perth(9 years ago)
Hi Tony, my preference would be the 240. (240 x 240cm) This allows enough room for two to sleep plus a bit extra for some gear. The 210 provides enough space to sleep, but not a whole lot more.

Could this tent be erected and put away using just one arm1 answer
Shan - Cheshunt, Vic.(9 years ago)
Hi Shan, I guess anything is possible with determination. I imagine the setting up and pack away of this tent would be awkward with just one arm, most of it would be possible but I am not sure how you would manage to place pegs, and to roll the tent up to fit back into the bag. I recommend looking at the video on our product page to get a good idea of how the tent is pitched. Let us know if you need any clarification on how these tents operate.

What is a super fly that is suggested goes with the 240 Turbo tent.1 answer
Hello, I see Snowy talk of two types of fly that we may find useful if we buy a 240 Turbo. Can you tell us more about the fly option. I thought the tent came with a fly already ?
John - HOBART, TAS(10 years ago)
Hi John, the Turbo Tents all come with a fly. The Basecamp and Superfly are actually discontinued products, and I have updated our information accordingly. They were designed to extend the living space of a Turbo Tent, and they completely replaced the existing fly. The same result can be achieved with new accessories from Black Wolf such as the extenda awnings, screen rooms and a new range of side panels. These are used as add-ons to the existing fly, rather than completely replacing it.
