Overview
The Hitop is bigger and better equipped: 5.94m long with a 78L fridge and pets allowed, versus the Alpha's 4.6m, no fridge, and no pets. Both have no bathroom and sleep two. Apollo requires a minimum age of 21 where Spaceships starts from 18. If you want more kit on the road and can handle a slightly longer van, the Hitop is worth the step up; the Alpha is for budget travellers happy to keep things very simple.
