Overview
Both are budget hitop vans without a bathroom, sleeping two, and accessible to drivers from 18. The Highball is larger at 5.5–6.1m and allows pets; the Alpha is the shorter 4.6m option with no pet allowance. Mighty does not publish a fridge size for the Highball, which is worth confirming before booking. Beyond the pet policy and size difference, these are very similar offerings — the main practical question is whether dogs are coming along.
