Kelty Caboose 4

The Kelty Caboose 4 is a 3-season tailgate tent for four people, weighing 9520 g packaged — about 2380 g per person. It attaches to a vehicle's hatch via an extended awning, creating a covered link between car and shelter, while remaining free-standing thanks to Quick-Corner poles so it can also be pitched away from the vehicle if needed. At nearly 9.5 kg this is unambiguously a car-camping shelter, built around vehicle access rather than portability — the tailgate awning only makes sense parked next to your car, and the weight rules out carrying it any real distance. The 3-season rating covers spring through autumn use, not winter snow loading. This suits campground or festival-style trips where you want covered space linking directly to your vehicle for gear storage or a dry changing area, not backpacking or sites without vehicle access.
