Thread: Kelty Carport Shelter Review

  1. Default Kelty Carport Shelter Review

    Recently got a hold of the Kelty Carport Shelter so thought I would take it out for a spin and see how well it works as an overnight shelter out on overland adventures... You can read the review and let me know your thoughts: off road adventure shelter

    I have one of those (somewhere) and I think you nailed it in your review.

    I found it more work than I wanted to invest in setting it up but the sensitivity to the wind was why I don't use it.

    I also have Kelty's later car awning 'thing' and while I have not used it yet I like the simplicity.

    Thanks... glad to know I'm not pulling it out my... I sometimes wonder... after all its just my humble opinion :-)

    for those interested in trying the Kelty Carport, a friend on another forum found them for about 1/2 price on Kelty Carport Canopy @ Sun and Ski Sports I know nothing about this retailer but their price is very attractive. They have other awnings and camping gear so might be a good source in general.

    I was finally able to put mine to use this past Memorial Day weekend and ended up returning it to REI on Tuesday. Too much hassle setting up, and since my rig is the one everyone jumps in to go exploring in and run errands, it was a pain taking it off and putting it back on the roof rack.
    I think I'll look into one of those Fiamma or Camping Lab awnings.
