Hi, we have a Combi Camp which is very similar. We did consider the Alpha and had a look at it at Black Country Caravans, who were very helpful. Its even bigger than the Combi Camp so we could have only housed the model without a kitchen, and it only had the option of one extra annex, so we bought a second hand Combi Camp instead, but we were very taken with it. It's got some nice features like water and gas piped through from the front box and mains electric sockets.
Given that it's very similar to ours I'll give you some pros and cons.
It's big. And heavy for a trailer tent. The fixed kitchen is great, but levelling is critical if it's not to be wonky. Levelling is tricky because you need to maintain enough clearance to open the hard top, so you have limited front to back adjustment. Regarding side to side levelling it's heavy, so hard to get up a ramp. We're seriously considering adding 12v electrics and a motor mover in the future if we continue to struggle.
Pros, well we love it. It's so flexible, we can add two annexes and an awing for a family holiday, or just use the cabin and awning roof to shelter the kitchen for a couples weekend. The Combi is designed so you can fold back half the roof and use it as a kitchen shelter, I don't know if you can do that exactlywith the Alpha, but it will have some form of sun canopy option. The awing (on both) uses telescopic poles, which makes it really easy to pitch, and it goes up very quickly. It's a really nice design, very comfortable and easy to pitch.
