Overview
The Duo is a 5.94m van with a full toilet and shower, self-contained status, and pets allowed — a proper onboard setup for a two-person trip. The Alpha is a 4.6m budget van with none of those facilities and no pet allowance. Mighty requires 21; Spaceships starts from 18. If the trip is long enough that bathroom access at campgrounds matters, or if a dog is on the booking, the Duo is the stronger option. For a younger driver on a strict budget, the Alpha still does the job.
