Kelty Waypoint Tarp
Best vehicle-mounted shelter for car campers seeking extra outdoor living space.
This shelter turns your vehicle into a legitimate basecamp, offering far more coverage than a standard awning without requiring permanent modifications. It’s a bulky, single-pole setup that demands a bit of extra trunk space, but the trade-off is a massive, weather-proof living area that actually stays standing overnight.
