Overview
The main distinction here is capability: the Mighty 4WD is built for off-road routes and includes a fridge/freezer, while the Alpha is a 4.6m road-only budget hitop without a fridge. Neither has an onboard bathroom. The 4WD allows dogs; the Alpha does not. Mighty requires 21; Spaceships accepts from 18. If sealed roads are the plan, the Alpha is cheaper. If the route involves unpaved tracks, the 4WD is the only option of the two with that kind of clearance.
