ROOM TO LIVE.
NOT JUST SLEEP.

The KEA Horizon uses its length well. There is a cafe dinette at the front, a panoramic U-shaped lounge at the rear and a clear walkway between the kitchen, bathroom and sleeping areas.

Hey Buddy is one family-owned vehicle. The motorhome in these photos is the one you book.

ONE VAN.
TWO LIVING ROOMS.

Flexible living is the Horizon's strength. The front dinette and panoramic rear lounge let a family eat, play, plan and reset without crowding around one table.

THE VIEW ROOM

The rear U-shaped lounge wraps around broad tinted windows. It is the main dining room, planning table and quiet corner.

THE EVERYDAY DINETTE

The front cafe dinette gives you a second table. Breakfast can happen while the rear stays set up for a slower morning.

A PRIVATE BATHROOM

The internal bathroom has a separate shower, vanity and cassette toilet, with hot water available on the road.

THREE BEDS.
BETTER MORNINGS.

The two main sleeping areas have proper sprung mattresses. The over-cab bed can stay ready while the two dinettes handle daytime living and convert when needed.

YOUR HOSTPETER

“I use Hey Buddy for my own family adventures. I focus on the details that matter when you actually live in it: clear handover, reliable systems and a comfortable night's sleep.”

Peter is a hands-on owner, not a fleet counter. He talks you through the vehicle before departure and stays available if you need help on the road.
