They may look like clones superficially, but it's what lies inside that distinguishes the KEA HiTop and KEA Jackpot. I recently conducted a comparo on this ex-rental duo and while they present as dead ringers, it's the antithesis internally! It's quite refreshing to see to see how the two models have been carefully thought out and designed to offer very different options with the smaller space available.

KEA’s Navigator T555 motorhome is set up for touring and ease of driving.
