Hi All,
Looking at purchasing a quick set up tent for 4 week trip to
Alice Springs, etc later in the year. Very keen on the Blackwolfe Turbo 240 Plus, there are 5 of us, 2 adults 3 kids. My question is do you think this tent will be big enough for us? Don't really want to go to Turbo 300 Plus as will not fit in the back of Pagero and too heavy to put on roof racks easily!! Thoughts please ....!! Nicole

Hi Nicole,
How old are your kids? Could two of them sleep in a 2 or 3 man tent next to your blackwolf? Most of those are very quick to set up and pack down small. We have a blackwolf turbo 300 (not plus) and it is very heavy and large in its bag. It only fits in the back of my Pajero on an angle, making it difficult to pack other stuff.
Just another thought - how about looking at the 240 plus in a
shop and laying some
camp mats on the floor to see how much room there is?
Enjoy your trip!
Leanne

The oztrail tourer twin is a good option, better shape than the 10plus
The other option is the blackwolf 240 twin similar concept and would easliy fit 5 with a bit of space for gear
the big difference is oztrails pack flat and like a large square, the blackwolfs pack like a big barrel

Thanks. I have been looking for a 240 plus set up in
shop to try out sleeping arrangements but can't find one. Convinced a guy at Anaconda to set it up for me but it wasn't pegged down so kept falling over! See my other post re kids 12, 10 and 7, 10 year old on autism spectrum so a bit tricky!! Any other advise on type of tent, preferably canvas!!
