I purchased this and used it off the back of a 1971 Hunter Compact Jr camper. Worked great to provide a covered entrance to the camper as the only way in and out is straight out the back door. There is then a separate awning rail off the side of the camper, which we mounted a Moon Awning.

This is such a great setup, I love it. That tent fits your vehicle perfectly, looks like you just pulled over and made camp in minutes. Really glad to hear everything worked out and you had a good experience with us too, that means a lot. Where’d you end up taking this?

We’ve tried awnings but we’re never satisfied. This Kelty tent matches our small camper needs perfectly.

We have had it a year now and the awning has been an excellent addition to our small camper. We just camped through the remnants of a tropical storm. 5+ inches of rain fell overnight and only the ground was wet under the awning (it was more like a river). Everything above ground under the awning was dry as it could be. Again, excellent product that’s relatively easy to set up and take down.

See what our Experts say about this Kelty Car Awning
- Will Kelty Backroads Car Awning with Side Walls Fit 1995 Winnebago RialtaHey Don, yes the Kelty Backroads Car Awning with Side Walls # KE98KR would work on your 1995 Rialta as this is a universal enough design that it would fit and work great. I attached a picture of it installed on a similar high roof van to your RV as well.
view full answer... - Kelty Backroads Car Awning For A 2018 Airstream Basecamp 16Hi Clare! I see you placed an order already, but I still wanted to get you an answer to your question. From looking at pictures of your 2018 Airstream Basecamp 16, i think you went the right way not going with the Kelty Sideroads Car Awning - Universal Fit # KE38KR. This is more going to be for smaller vehicles or trailers and I don't think it would have worked well for you. The Kelty Backroads Car Awning with Side Walls - Universal Fit # KE98KR you went with is larger and typically...
view full answer... - What are Dimensions of Kelty Backroads Car Shelter # KE98KR Hey Vickie, the Kelty Backroads Car Shelter # KE98KR that you referenced has dimensions of 138" x 72" x 96" (length x width x height). The peak height can range from 80" to 108" depending on the vehicle and setup. It does not have a UV rating though.
view full answer... - Recommended Rear Awning for Ram ProMaster 2500I do have options for you for a rear awning but these are rather niche, most as you have come to find out I'm sure are for the side. The only options we have for the rear are universal, the Kelty Sideroads Car Awning part # KE38KR or Kelty Backroads Car Awning with Side Walls part # KE98KR.
view full answer... - Does the Kelty Backroads Car Awning with Sidewalls Need A Set Of Crossbars For Install?The Kelty Backroads Car Awning with Side Walls # KE98KR you mentioned actually does not need a set of crossbars to work! There are straps that will allow you to connect to your vehicle's wheels without a roof rack.
view full answer... - Color of Kelty Backroads Car Awning with Side WallsThe technical color of the Kelty Backroads Car Awning with Side Walls # KE98KR is midnight navy so it is a blue color.
