Black Wolf Turbo Lite Twin Tent

We just bought the heavier duty 2400 turbo tent. The Lite version just looked a bit to lightweight to me. A number of our 4Wd club members have the HD Turbo tents and are pleased with them. When packed, the bag is fairly big and reasonably heavy. I can understand people wanting a lighter version. My only concern was with the cutout/partial fly, but owners assure me they are nice and dry when it rains.

The turbo tent is an attractive product incorporating good design. I think it leaves the dome tents (too floppy) and the older style canvas centre pole types for dead.

Kingo

I think both the Black Wolf and Oztent products are good, it depends on your preference at the end of the day. I am not sure about the Turbo Lite version.

Modern day material like the light weight 150D (density) Ripstop Polyester PU (poly urethane) is replacing the heavy water absorbent canvas, Ripstop stretches less than nylon and is stronger.

This is polyester taffeta (smooth woven fabric made from synthetic fibers with thicker threads weaved into the material at regular intervals). Thicker threads will prevent small rips in the Tent to get worse.

An internal pole will hold up a tent but with the forces of the tent material (pulling down by guide ropes) and external forces (wind, rain & weight of material absorbing water) a lot of pressure is on the centre pole.

An external frame from which the tent hangs allows more flexible breathing and movement, the external fly which covers the frame, bears the forces of guide ropes and external forces.

Aluminium connections are stronger than nylon; this folding movement allows the frame to be one unit and folds out, allowing the tent to be erected in seconds.

I like the Blackwolf range (no affiliation) up in 60 seconds and for the first time I saw five different sizes in the one camp area, the Blackwolf tents had not moved in Gail forced winds and heavy rain, where some dome & canvas tents ripped & camptrailer annexes shredded.

Folds the size of a swag and fits at the back of front seat in the 4WD.
