Where it makes sense
The Waypoint Tarp is a vehicle-associated shelter for campers who want cover beside a parked car without a permanent awning installation. Kelty describes a semi-universal attachment system and includes a steel pole, stakes, and guy lines. The word semi-universal deserves attention: inspect the intended attachment route on the actual vehicle and confirm compatibility before relying on it. Consider door and hatch travel, the space where people sit, and what happens when the car must leave. It is particularly relevant to a settled basecamp day. A detached shelter is a better fit when several people need shade while another person drives elsewhere.
The tradeoff
Vehicle attachment requires fit verification and complicates spontaneous driving
