- Hey folks, these are the BlackWolf Turbo 240 Touring Tents
and are really easy to set up.
I'm gonna show you how to do one today.
Let's get started.

Hey folks, Ben from Snowys here today.
Down in the big Fort West Beach Caravan Park
in Adelaide Western Suburbs.
It is a fully equipped and easy getaway
for your family right in the heart of Adelaide.
I've got the BlackWolf Turbo 240 and 240 light tent
our touring tents here for you today.
I wanna show you how to set 'em up and pack 'em away.
Starting with 'em packed up
this is the 240 on my right here
and the 240 light on my left.
So this is the canvas version.
It's a little bit heavier at 24 kilos.
Whereas the light one weighs only 19.
They pack up about the same length,
but the canvas one is a little bit bigger,
about 33 centimetres in width, by 28.
Whereas this one is about 28 by 28.
I'm gonna set 'em both up for you and then
I'm gonna jump ahead and set the canvas one up
in the background.
And then I'll show you how to set the light one up.
'Cause they both follow the same procedure.
So I'm get started.
So set up the canvas version.
It's the 240 Turbo Tent in the background here.
I'm gonna show you how it's done
on the light version at the front.
Now when you buy your Turbo 240
this is what comes in the bag.
This is the main portion of the tent here.
It's all secured up with a strap here.
And there's also another little strap that stays attached.
It keeps all the poles in place.
You got your fly sheet.
You get a bag of pegs and all the guy ropes that you need.
These are all the poles that you need
to set up the awning in the front.
And obviously it all comes in a bag.
Now the first thing that you need to do is
spread the inner tent out and
peg all four corners in place.
So I've got all four pegs in the corners now.
The next steps are really easy.
We've got four knuckles on each leg to invert,
which are these ones here.
We simply pull them until they click into place.
Once all four of those are inverted we step inside the tent
and push the centre hub up.
That's the inner of the Turbo Tent all set up.
Four pegs and we invert the poles and we're done.
Next step is to throw the fly over the top.
So there are a few Velcro tabs up under here
to secure your fly sheet to the frame.
So you can just pull these here around the frame there.
And they help secure the fly to the frame of the tent.
And the clips on the bottom.
And then there's two more pegs
in the bottom of each of these just to hold.
It's a bit of extra weather protection
around the corners of the tents there.
Now we're ready to set up the awning.
Now that's the guy or the fly sheet all pegged into place.
We do need to set the awning up.
We can't just roll this up out of the way.
It does need to be set up.
You could use the tent without the fly sheet,
but it's not gonna be as stable
'cause you don't have guy ropes on the inner tent.
So probably gonna need to set up the awning
most of the time.
Now you get five poles with your Turbo Tent.
There's three upright poles.
Uh one of them is longer.
This one here is longer.
It's got the two black fells on it.
That's gonna be the centre pole for the awning.
Then you get these two poles.
Now these clip together.
This end clips into this one here.
And then it extends at the other end
to create our reach pole.
Now this has got a little hook in in here,
which actually sinks in the hub of the top of the tent.
So I've got the three poles
and a couple of guy ropes in place,
just to sort of hold the awning in place at the moment.
Now we need to extend this centre pole right out
to its full height so that it's nice and tall.
It gives plenty of head space.
That's our Turbo Light 240 all set up.
That was pretty easily done by myself.
There are a couple of other things we can do
to finish this setup.
I'm not gonna worry about it today,
But there are two guy ropes in the pockets
on each corner of the tent that we should peg out
for extra stability if it's
particularly if it's windy or bad weather.
The other thing we can do is with these windows
is actually gussets in here.
Um we can fold these windows up
or keep 'em completely closed alternatively
with the included extra guy ropes.
There are eyelets in the corners here,
which mean we can zip this open with the gusset
and peg this out as a ventilated window.
And that feature's on each side.
Apart from that, that is our Turbo 240 tent all set up.
And pack up is just as easy.
I'll get started.
First thing, take all the pegs and poles out
from the awning.
That's my awning down now.
I'm just gonna undo the Velcro tabs that are attached
to the fly in here, pull the pegs out, unclip the fly,
and we can fold it up ready to pack it away.
So I've got the fly sheet off and all my poles aside.
Now we just need to collapse the inner tent down.
Now to do this we step inside the tent.
We grab that handle on the roof.
And we pop this top section down.
And from there we can press the button
on each of these knuckles.
And all the frame will fold in.
Now just gonna pull all four pegs outa the corners here.
Now while I'm on this corner though,
let's mention this loop here.
This is the tab that we use to peg the tent down with.
But this also doubles as a useful tool
while we're packing the tent up.
So for each of these corners, if we use this loop,
and hook it over the top of this knuckle here,
it holds the frame together while we're packing it up.
So we don't get poles falling all over the place.
Now once you're at this stage, you can see the benefit
of these straps stopping these poles from falling out.
But there's another strap that's attached
to the tent in here.
So you just want to find that one that wraps around
all the poles here and keeps these all together,
so that while we're rolling the tent up
or finishing the pack up,
these poles don't all fall to the ground.
And from here we just kinda wanna flatten
this fabric out a bit and try and roll it up
as neat as we can.
Once you're at this stage there is a strap
that comes with your Turbo Tent that you can use
to secure all of this loose fabric.
It's gonna make it easier to get back in the bag.
So we do this up around here.
Once you've done that, we can get it all back inside
and packed away.
That is how you set up and pack away the Turbo 240
Light Tent from BlackWolf.
Now the canvas version behind me here
packs up in exactly the same method.
It's just slightly heavier fabric to deal with
and a little bit of a fatter package when you're done.
