Why the Horizon

Outdoor living at the push of a button

The Horizon is built for travellers who want to go further. Everything about this van is made for long, self-sufficient trips, in every season.

Huge electric awning
At the push of a button your veranda rolls out. Shade on a warm day, a dry spot when it drizzles: outdoor living becomes second nature.
The longest bed: 175×210 cm
A clever folding system turns the living area into a full-length bed. Comfortable sleeping even for tall travellers.
Webasto heating
Diesel heating for a warm night in every season, even without sun. That makes the Horizon the van for Scandinavia, spring and autumn.
600 Wp solar power
Solar panels and a 3.65 kWh battery: fridge, lighting, laptop and warm outdoor shower work anywhere, without a campsite.

The Horizon winters in Portugal

From 10 October 2026 to 31 March 2027, Horizon is based in Porto. Airport pick-up and return are included. WhatsApp Koen to discuss your plans and a personal quote.

Why Portugal

Where the van would sit still for four months in the Netherlands, Portugal is in exactly the right season: around fifteen degrees on the coast during the day, solar panels that keep producing through those months, and space everywhere because it is low season.

Marjestravelled with the Horizon

★★★★★

“We really enjoyed our short camper trip. The van has every comfort and drives beautifully. Lots of space and a lovely big bed. Thanks to the solar panels and water filter you can genuinely stay off the grid for longer. Recommended!”
