Roof Rack Camping Shelters

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Very Portable Carport Tent Provides Cover During Road Trips

— February 4, 2015 — Autos
This extremely mobile carport tent, rather than housing your vehicle or acting as a make-shift parking structure, uses your automobile to provide shelter for people. The Kelty Carport ESB enables you to set up camp in a matter of mere minutes, making it deal for camping and road trips. Intended for mid to large sized SUVs, the simple tent is attached to the roof rack and arcs to the ground, offering near instant protection from the elements.

The portable carport tent features silent zippers, storage pockets and closeable mesh panels to increase privacy. While it might not be great for winter (especially if you live in a particularly cold climate), this product is great in the other three seasons.
Trend Themes
1. Portable Carport Tents - The rise of portable carport tents presents disruptive innovation opportunities for outdoor and camping gear manufacturers to create compact and easy-to-use shelters for road trips.
2. Roof Rack Camping - The trend of using roof racks as a platform for camping shelters opens up opportunities for automotive companies to develop innovative car accessories that enhance the camping experience.
3. Instant Shelter Solutions - The demand for instant shelter solutions like the Kelty Carport ESB highlights the need for innovations in tent design, materials, and assembly methods to provide quick and efficient protection from the elements for outdoor enthusiasts.
Industry Implications
1. Outdoor and Camping Gear - The portable carport tent trend creates new opportunities for outdoor and camping gear manufacturers to develop innovative, lightweight, and easy-to-assemble shelter solutions that cater to road trippers and campers.
2. Automotive - The rise of roof rack camping shelters opens up opportunities for automotive companies to design and produce car accessories that integrate seamlessly with roof racks, offering campers an enhanced and convenient camping experience.
3. Tent Manufacturing - The instant shelter trend calls for tent manufacturers to explore new materials, designs, and assembly techniques to create tents that can be quickly set up and provide reliable protection, revolutionizing the tent industry.
