Overview
The Beta seats four but sleeps only two in a basic 4.6m van with no bathroom or fridge. The Ultima is a 7.05m motorhome with full toilet and shower, self-contained status, and a 78L fridge — but seats only two. Neither allows pets. The Ultima requires 21; the Beta accepts 18. These pair only by sleeping capacity. The Ultima is for comfortable independent travel; the Beta is for budget trips where extra day-travel seats are wanted.
