Overview
Both are entry-level two-berth hitop vans, accessible from 18, with no bathroom. The Hippie Hitop is 4.9m and allows pets; the Beta 2S is 4.6m and does not. Neither lists a fridge. For a pet-free trip, these are nearly interchangeable budget vans — the choice comes down to availability and price. If a dog is coming along, the Hippie Hitop is the only option.
