Overview
Both are entry-level two-berth hitop vans aimed at budget travellers, accessible from age 18, with no bathroom. The Hippie Hitop is a touch larger at 4.9m and allows pets; the Alpha is 4.6m and does not. Neither lists a fridge. For a short two-person trip, these compete closely on price — the Hippie is the better pick if a dog is travelling, and the Alpha works for pet-free trips where lowest cost is the priority.
