We are trying to decide which size Black Wolf Turbo Twin Lite to buy. Can anyone provide the dimensions the Twin 270 packs down to please? And also, is the central section 270 x 270 or 270 x 240? If it's 270 x 270 are the bedrooms 270 x 180 or 240 x 180. It is only supplied to
BCF so the 270 dimensions are not on the Black Wolf website. Thanks.

We have had our's for a couple of years now and very happy with it. Only thing we didn't like was the bag. Just like any tent it doesn't seem to fit the same after being unpacked for the first time. We had to be quite strict in the way we packed it to make it fit which is a nuisance when you just want to get the car packed quickly.
Went off to Snowy's (
Adelaide) a few months ago and bought a large canvas bag and now we stick it in there in seconds. Strong zips etc also.
We use the original bag for the pegs, poles and fly and the aftermarket bag for the actual tent. Much easier!!
Sorry this doesn't answer the question but thought I'd mention this so you can enjoy the whole experience of the tent.

Dimensions:
Twin 240: (180+240+180) x 240 x 210 cm
Twin 300: (180+300+180) x 300 x 210 cm
Carry bag size:
Twin 240 - 130 x 30 x 35 cm
Twin 300 - 145 x 34 x 35 cm
gettimg the tent back in the bag is often a problem the first few times. I have a Turbo 240 and can assure you it gets easier with practice. Key is not to rush it.
the limiting factor with
mine is the frame is only a bit shorter than the bag so you have to be sure that all the material is tucked down inside the length of the frame. and it helps if you squeeze as much air out as you can when folding and rolling.
Like I said take the time and with practice you will get it down pat.

Another trick is to leave the fly connected to the tent and roll the whole bundle up. We were shown that trick by another turbo user at
Marla last year.
