Describe Yourself:
Avid Adventurer
What Is Your Gear Style:
Minimalist
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I am an old(68yrs) experienced(55yrs) alpinist/skier/paddler/cyclist. Kelty's carport is used at car only (trailhead, put-in, etc). Fine gear; for what it is. Fits Honda Element with a bit of "engineering" and Honda Odyssey perfectly. Heed factory warnings about windy conditions! Otherwise, it is great in light rain, as a sunshade and as a privacy screen.

Casual/ Recreational

By Bob from Russell, Ohio on 9/11/2007
Pros:
Compact, Lightweight
Cons:
Too small for an SUV
Describe Yourself:
Avid Adventurer
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is fine for what it is, but really doesn't suit my purposes as well as I hoped. I tried to buy the size large Carport, but they were out of stock, so I settled for this. It brely works on the side of an SUV or minivan, but would be fine on a Subaru Outback. I will keep it because we have both vehicles, but this trip to Utah we are hauling a lot of stuff to my son, and the minivan has to make the trip. We'll make it due.
