Why I Love the Kelty Backroads Shelter with My T@B 320 Teardrop Camper

If you’ve ever camped with a T@B 320 teardrop camper, or any other teardrop trailer, you already know — space is precious. That cozy interior is perfect for sleeping, but when the weather turns or you just need a little more room to spread out, the Kelty Backroads Shelter becomes a total game changer.

I recently tested mine out (you can see the full setup and demo in my YouTube video here, and let’s just say: this might be my favorite campsite upgrade yet!

Easy Set-Up (Even Solo!)

One of the first things I noticed about the Kelty Backroads Shelter is how easy it is to set up by myself. This shelter goes up in less than 5 minutes.

It’s simple to attach the shelter to the side of your T@B 320 using the provided straps, keder rail hooks, suction cups or the guy lines. I show exactly how I do this in my video — it’s super secure and looks like it was made for the camper.

The Perfect “Outdoor Living Room”

Once it’s up, the shelter adds a whole new living space — perfect for morning coffee, cooking on a rainy day, or relaxing in the shade.

It provides great coverage over the T@B door, so you can come and go without tracking in dirt or worrying about rain sneaking inside. There’s enough room for a couple of chairs and small table, and you can add your Mr Buddy Heater to help keep warm. If you’ve ever wished your T@B had a bit more elbow room, this setup solves that beautifully.

Weather Protection You Can Trust

Not only will this help protect you from the rain, on sunny days, it creates a shaded area that keeps things cool and comfortable. The waterproof fabric and sturdy poles hold up well — although you will want to make sure it is staked down and are using the guy lines on a windy day.

Packs Down Small for Easy Storage

Storage is always the challenge with small campers. The Kelty Backroads Shelter fits into a compact bag that fits easily into the trunk of my Honda Ridgeline. This is one of the few tents that is fairly easy to fit back into the original storage bag!
