Overview
The Beta seats four for the road, which is useful for a group where not everyone needs a berth; the Polaris 2 seats two. The Polaris 2 is a fully equipped 6.4m motorhome with toilet, shower, self-contained status, a 90L fridge, and living aircon — none of which the Beta offers. The Beta accepts drivers from 18; the Polaris 2 requires 21. Star RV allows pets; Spaceships does not. The Beta is the budget option; the Polaris 2 is for travellers who need independent facilities.
