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.
What is easier to erect, pack up and more wind and weather resistant.
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 too
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.
Hi, Could you please tell me if the bedrooms at each end would fit a queen size mattress?
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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?
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
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.
Hi Ben, What's the head night in the side rooms?
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.
Well that's just plain silly by BW!
Just asking as it makes a big difference for winter camping.
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?
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?
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 ?
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.
With very little pics it is hard to gauge the design differences of this model.
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.
