- This is the Black Wolf Turbo Lite Plus 240 Tent
set up behind me here.
It comes in both a lite and a canvas version.
I'm gonna take you for a full walkthrough today,
and tell you about all the features.
Let's have a look.
(upbeat music)
The evening sun is here guys down at
the beautiful Brownhill Creek Tourist Park
in Adelaide's eastern surburbs
and this a really quiet getaway if you live in Adelaide
or great place to park your van or set-up a tent
if you're just passing through.
I've got some space down here today
to run through some products with you.
And this is the Black Wolf Turbo Plus 240.
I got the lite version set-up behind me here.
It comes in both a lite and a canvas version.
I'm gonna run through all the features
and differences for you.
Now, this is a great tent for just general family camping
or even for touring families.
It's got two rooms with a divider in the middle
so you've got a sleeping area at
the back plus living space or you've got
a separate room for mum and dad.
When it's packed up, they measure about 125 centimetres
in length by roughly 30 centimetres in diameter.
And the lite version weighs in at about 24 kilos
whereas the canvass one about 32 kilos.
I'm gonna start by telling you about the fabrics.
And the lite version here, the fly sheet is 150 denier
ripstop polyester and this has got a 2000 mil water head.
Now, if you were to buy the canvas version,
this would be a 230 GSM ripstop polycotton canvas
which would have a 5000 millimetre water head.
Moving back to the inner tent here,
and this on the lite version
is also 150 denier ripstop polyester.
On the canvas version, a 230 GSM ripstop polycotton canvas.
The mesh in the doors and windows does differ between
the lite and the canvas as well.
This is a fine mesh in here whereas with
the canvas version you get a really heavy duty
fibreglass mesh that's much stiffer
and much less prone to ripping or catching anything in it.
And moving down to the floor,
the lite version is a 500 denier polyester
with a 5000 millimetre water head.
Whereas the canvas version, is a 600 denier
siliconized polyester with a 10,000 millimetre water head.
So a lot more weather protection on the base there.
And the frame, there's a slight difference.
The lite version, 23 millimetre tubular aluminium
frame here, whereas the canvas version
has a 25 millimetre frame.
But these alloy knuckles here are the same as is
the plastic hub at the top there.
Now stepping round to the side of the Turbo Tent here.
We've got guy ropes.
Two guy ropes on each corner of the tent
and they feature in their own little storage pockets here.
So they zip away, makes it easy for pack-up.
They're not hanging around and getting tangled up in things.
Always recommend using the guy ropes when you've got
it set-up for a long period.
I'm gonna take this down shortly
so I don't need to set them up today.
Moving a little further along,
there's this window which sits underneath
this cutout of the fly here.
So all these fabrics here are waterproof.
The fly's just cut away above the window here.
And this window, can be set up in one of three ways.
Firstly, how it is here completely zipped closed.
Alternatively, we can zip it right open.
There's a little Velcro tab at the bottom here as well.
And we can roll this right up and out the way
to allow ventilation through the tent.
There's tabs at the top here so we can secure this in place.
And the third option, is to set it up as a gusseted window.
There's two zips in here.
If we undo, do up sorry, the lower zip.
It creates a sort of gusset, one on each side.
And then there's brass eyelets in the corners.
We can use the extra guy ropes that came with your kit
to peg this out as a gusseted window like this
to allow ventilation in while the rain stays out.
Now this window features on this side
and is mirrored on the other side of the tent.
And the window in the rear of the tent
that you see there, features all the same features
so you can also peg that one out as a gusseted window too.
I wanna step inside the tent and show you
the features there 'cause that's pretty
much it for the outside.
Just coming inside the 240 Plus Tent here.
Now I've got it set-up with some airbeds
to show how you might live in this space.
Now in terms of how much room you've got,
it's about 240 by 240 or just under by my measurements,
couple centimetres under in that front section.
So that's up to this divider here
and then from this divider back it's still 240 wide
but it goes another 180 centimetres in depth.
So I've got a double high queen airbed in the back here
which is about 200 centimetres long,
about 150 centimetres wide.
It's just touching in the back corners here.
No room for storage but it does fit pretty comfortably
and you could fit two, sleep two people comfortably
in the back here.
It's also about 50 odd centimetres high
so you'd fit a stretcher back here as well.
In terms of other features in the back
there is a little storage pocket here.
It's actually got four little pockets
in this storage area here.
That's the only storage pocket in the tent.
And you've got this window at the back here
and just above that there's a little lantern hook.
Dividing this rear room with the front room
are these zipper dividers here.
So if we undo one of these we can create
two separate zones inside the tent.
This has got a zip that runs across the top.
And also a zip down the middle here,
so we can actually zip this side and this side together
to create two separate zones.
And then in the front here, these are two
XL single airbeds which are about
190 centimetres in length and about a metre in width.
So they fit pretty comfortably here
with walking access down the middle to get to
the rear room of the tent.
Each side here are the windows
and as I move up in the tent here, in terms of height
about 190 centimetres at the very peak of the tent here,
so I can stand just off-center a little bit.
Just under the peak is a little plastic lantern hook
that we can hang our light off
and below that is this loop.
Now this is actually the handle to help collapse
the tent down so don't hang anything too heavy on that
or your tent's gonna collapse on you during the night.
To each side of that there are a couple of roof vents,
internally openable roof vents.
So that's gonna help a lot with condensation inside
the tent particularly on cold nights.
We'll also mention the seam sealing around the top here.
All of these seams here are sealed and waterproof.
So the tent's gonna be reasonable waterproof
without the fly but we always recommend you
use the fly for full weather protection.
Moving down from this clip here, some Velcro tabs on
the corners here for securing a power cord.
And that runs right down to power access point.
The other thing I haven't talked much about
is this awning at the front of the tent here.
Now this is about two metres wide from pole to pole
or edge to edge here and about 1.8 metres out from the tent.
Now underneath here are all the zips and Velcro
that you need to be able to secure optional walls
and also even screen rooms inside here
to be able to enclose this room or this awning
for an extra room inside your tent.
Now Black Wolf say, this sleeps seven people
but realistically it's a good tent
for a family of four or it's got sleeping space
and living space for a touring couple.
