Hi, I'm wondering if you sell the 2017 updated Black Wolf Turbo 300 Plus with the latest updates including the new Tape sealing on all seams on front and side panels Turbo (canvas) upgrade to floor material, PVC replaced with 600D Siliconised Polyester PU? Regards Mick
G’day Mick, All Black Wolf Turbos on our website as of today (18 Sept 2016) are the current 2016 models. These models have been the most successful of all Turbos that we have sold – we love them! There is a more expensive, updated range including the model you enquired about coming out later this year. Among the tweaks and updates Black Wolf has made include some extra tape sealing, fly reinforcement and a redesign of storm flaps. Off-setting these updates is the down-speccing on canvas models of the Heavy Duty PVC floor with 600D Siliconised Polyester PU. You’ll notice that our 2016 models are at ripping prices right now and are selling really well. They represent great value for money when compared to the more expensive updated range due out later this year.
Hi, so are you saying the newer 2017 model is down speccing the floor by going from 500D Heavy Duty PVC to 600D Siliconised Polyester UV? I'm not sure what the difference between the two materials is, could you explain? Thanx!
G'day Mick, I'll assume you've seen the details we wrote up on the differences between the two versions of the Turbo Tents, if not you can access the article via the link at the bottom of each Turbo Tent product page. I'm not sure where you got the 500D from, but the floor on the current canvas models is like the material used for large banners/signs, it has a heavy duty fabric coated in a flexible plastic/rubber type material (PVC), it's super durable but can make the tent difficult to roll up into the bag. The new floor if a 600D Siliconised Polyester, which is basically a heavier duty version of the tent fly, and is a little heavier than the floor in the Lite models. It's still durable, and can make the tent easier to roll up and more compact in its bag. So it's a down spec in our eyes, but comes with both advantages and disadvantages. Hope this clears things up for you.
Hi Brian! The main room of the tent is 3 x 3m, and the additional room is 1.8 x 3m. You can use the built in divider to separate the two rooms, or you can roll away the divider to have one big room.
G’day Mick, the Black Wolf Turbo Plus 300 has zippered fibreglass mesh on the windows and doors which will keep out flying insects. Just be careful not to let them in when you open the door!
G’day Brian, the Black Wolf Turbo Plus 300 can be divided by a curtain into two spaces, the first measures 3 x 3m and the second measures 1.8 x 3m.
Does this tent need to be seasoned?
Hi Jessica, you don’t need to season it because the fabric has a waterproof PU coating however, it won’t hurt to hose it down before first use. You will still need to make sure you use it with the fly and all the guy ropes pegged for maximum protection in wet weather.
I'm thinking of carrying this tent on my roof racks. Is the carry bag waterproof, or will extra protection for the carry bag be needed?
Hi there, I have been searching for a good tent on the net & decided on this Black Wolf Turbo Plus 300 tent. Before making my purchase on Snowys store, something threw me off. Another shop is listing their Black Wolf Turbo Plus 300 tent to be the 'Latest Model'. This may sound silly to some ppl, but I am just curious as to the Snowys stock is the latest? Or would you say that all Black Wolf Turbo Plus 300 tents are all the latest model, maybe a manufactured date is important? Thanking you.
my wife and I are homing in on our preferred tent, either the BW Turbo 300 plus or the Jet Tent F30X. Poly Cotton canvas is our preferred material. We are over 70 - still pretty active and long ago campers in the UK and Europe. However, we trialled carrying 300 plus and had real difficulty, hence my question. We want the larger version of the preferred tents to take grandchildren on weekend trips.
I was wondering if this tent would be suitable for a permanent bedroom.
I have recently bought the turbo plus 300. When assembling it for the first time it does not have a black clip on the fly/cover to attach at the back of the extension. The main frame cover has one to join onto and that suggests that it has just been left off. It has 2 black loops for a peg instead which doesn't seem right. Is this correct??
How well do Turbo tents perform in wet and windy weather?
