Overview
The Polaris 2 is a fully-equipped 6.4m motorhome with toilet, shower, self-contained status, a 90L fridge, and living aircon, requiring 21. The Hippie Hitop is a compact 4.9m no-bathroom van accessible from 18, with pets allowed. The Polaris 2 is a substantially more capable vehicle for independent travel. The Hippie Hitop suits travellers who want pet access at lower cost, are comfortable with campground facilities, and prefer a smaller, easier-to-park van.
