Black Wolf Turbo Tents

We have the normal (heavy duty?) turbo 240. I wouldn't call it canvas, but more of a heavy duty nylon. There is no vent in the roof top so you do get condensation regardless of the fly. I think the "Lite" version has a vent. The fly is not a full cover.

Another problem we have discovered is in windy weather you must use the fly to enable anchoring the tent. If it gets real windy you discover that the little verandah on the front flaps uncontrollably. You cant roll it up or batten in down. We finished up lowering it so the front was almost on ground level and adding extra guy ropes to the two poles. Ours is a couple of years old and they may have changed the design.

Still, it is a good tent once you get used to rolling and packing it and keep an eye out for wind. Friends with the same tent discovered many punctures in the floor after only a few outings. Make sure you use a ground sheet.

We've been using a 240 canvas for the last couple of years with not a problem. The comment regarding the awning is correct but easily fixed. We use an extendable pole with a spring loaded plastic X section at the top to spread the load and prevent it penetrating the awning. Stops the problem simply. The can be purchased from Polaris Innovations in Qld.

Apart from that the other trick is to use the normal springs on the end of each guy rope which certainly helps as well. Apart from that condensation is an issue with any tent we looked at. The trick is to get the best cross ventilation and to allow the covers over the screens to be open and allow the tent to breath a bit.

Great tent and with regard customer service our experience is much better than some of the oppositon by a long way

Hi, I'm in a similar situation having sold the camper trailer, now wish replace it with a boat and tent.
I'm looking at the DMH range or tents as I just find it difficult to justify the huge price difference between the Black Wolf and the *same size* opposition brand tents presently available.

We got the 300 lite plus from anaconda when they had 25% off tents. Makes it closer in price to the 270 from bcf.
Ours is great but needs the fly in the rain or it leaks a bit.

There's certainly plenty of space inside it. Condensation is not a big issue - but I couldn't say if it is better or worse than the canvas ones.

We have a Black Wolf Turbo Lite 300 tent - we have used it twice, for a total of 6 nights.
We did get quite heavy rain for the last night, but there were no leakage problems. (We did have the fly on though).
We have just yesterday ordered a campertrailer (we decided we needed more room and storage for our growing family), so are thinking of selling it if anyone is interested.
Obviously it is in "as new" condition.

We have just gone through the process of deciding on which tent..Oz Tent or Black wolf - went with the black wolf Turbo 300 because of more space just a couple minutes longer to put up and had the fly included. Plus it was a lighter colour making it cooler as well.

the next decision was lite or canvas.

Having had a ripstop polyester tent for some years we decided we wanted the durability of the canvas. It was quite a few more dollars but we will have this for many years...even when we eventually get our camper we will need the tent for the 4WD areas where the camper won't go. So over say a 10 year period it worked out fairly affordable.

Good luck with your decision
