Overview
The Hippie Hitop and JUCY Malibu are both two-person, no-bathroom, pet-friendly vans opening from age 18. The Malibu is longer at 5.9m versus the Hitop's 4.9m and carries a 50L fridge; the Hitop does not list cold storage. In day-to-day use the main difference is interior space and provisioning — the Malibu gives more of both. The Hitop is the easier van to park and manoeuvre. For a couple who self-cater on longer trips, the Malibu is the more practical choice; the Hitop suits those who want the simplest, most compact van available.
