Overview
The Polaris 4 is a 7.4m fully self-contained motorhome with toilet, shower, a 130L fridge, and pets allowed, requiring 21. The Hi5 is a 5.6m no-bathroom van with five seats, sleeping four, accessible from 18. Both sleep four, but the Polaris 4 is a full independent setup while the Hi5 is a basic budget option. The Hi5 is relevant when extra seating capacity, lower cost, or a younger driver age matters more than onboard facilities.
