We've all been there: it's just above freezing at 3:15 am and your boots are by the firepit... your trousers are... somewhere...and your toastiest extra layer is in the car. Well, that's exactly why Kelty invented the Caboose: an excellent hybrid shelter that invites your vehicle (and all its cosy contents) to the party.
Simply attach the extended awning to your open hatch, and you've got yourself a free-standing tent with an extra rumpus room on wheels. Boom.
Quick Kelty corners make setting up the Caboose 4-Person super easy, while the Shark Mouth duffel lets you hit the road in no time. Oh, and the extended awning turns into a huge vestibule when it's not connected to your car. Not too shabby.
