Productinformation in detailMore freedom, more space – wherever you park it
You pull over, slide the door open, and just breathe. A few straps, two poles, and your vehicle turns into your favorite hangout spot. The Kelty Backroads Shelter gives you the kind of space that feels like part of your van – only outdoors.
Whether you attach it to the rear or the side, it flexes with your setup, your rhythm, and your destination. It’s the kind of shelter that disappears when you don’t need it – and saves the day when you do.
What makes the Backroads Shelter stand out?
It’s not trying to be everything. But it is everything you need when you’re out there.
-
Rear or side mount – your call:
The universal vehicle attachment system easily connects to most passenger or recreational vehicles – hatchbacks, vans, SUVs, Jeeps – even high-roof setups. -
More height, less hassle:
With an adjustable peak height from 80" to 108" (203–274 cm), this shelter gives you true standing room – yet sets up in minutes thanks to Kelty’s Quick Corners and simple pole design (2 main + 1 brow pole). -
Adapts to the weather:
Zip-up sidewalls offer privacy, shade, and protection – or roll them up to enjoy the breeze. The large front door with mesh window keeps bugs out and air flowing. -
Pack it and forget it:
Weighing in at just 11 lb 9 oz (5.25 kg), it’s compact enough for weekenders and light enough for solo travelers. The Shark Mouth duffel makes packing up effortless – and you can sling it over your shoulder, no problem.
Comfort meets simplicity – the right gear for real trips
-
Fabric:
68D Polyester with 1200 mm waterproof rating and PFC-free C0 DWR coating – light, protective, and reliable across three seasons. -
Poles:
Fiberglass construction – lightweight, intuitive to handle, and wind-stable. -
Smart details:
Reflective guy lines, floorless design, large zippered door, integrated mesh – all thought out, none overdone.

If you...
-
want a shelter that’s easy, fast, and flexible,
-

But if you're planning long trips, harsh weather, or rugged terrain...
…you might want to check out the Kelty Highroads Shelter.
