Overview
The Polaris 4 is a 7.4m fully self-contained road motorhome with toilet, shower, a 130L fridge, and pets allowed, requiring 21. The Desert Sands 4X4 is an off-road-capable five-seater with a 38L fridge and no bathroom, also requiring 21. Both sleep four. If the route stays on sealed roads, the Polaris 4 is far more comfortable and independent. If unsealed tracks are on the itinerary, the Desert Sands 4X4 is the only option with off-road capability.
