Black wolf turbo owners.. question?

I have seen a bloke pop up his Blackwolf & it blew away, forgot to peg 4 corners first.

I have springs that I attach to all guide ropes including front flap.

I have been in strong winds the springs take the movement pressure on the fly.

If you remove the fly you can not tie down your tent and it wil collapse in strong winds, hence the ropes attached to the fly.

The instructions even suggest the use of springs.

Ron,
We have been caught in a windstorm with our 240. I lowered the verandah as much as the poles would allow and added a couple of extra guy ropes and pegs to the poles. That is about all you can do. I think the design could be improved by having a storm flap that could be zipped down instead of having that verandah. Another improvement would be to have a vent at the apex to allow moisture out. Condensation is a problem on cold nights and it is difficult to manage when the only cross flow available is to go out of the tent and partly roll up the window flaps.

The extension that you mention might alleviate the verandah problem, but the whole thing looks a bit unweildy.

Having observed a number of fellow campers I now believe that the OzTent is a better proposition than the Turbo Tent provided you can carry it on the vehicle.

Yep it can be a pain but you can do without the fly unless it is blowing a gale. Using springs on the guy ropes is mandatory to allow some flex there but yes the awning does fog around a touch. We have an extension pole with a big plaxtic X that folds flat or extends out to support the awning area nicely. If you have a look at this link http://www.polarisinnovations.com/assoc.htm you will see what I am talking about
