SPRITE ALPINE 4 (2019)

SPRITE A NAME known to non-caravanners as well as seasoned aficionados - is 75 years young in 2023! Under Swift since 1994/5, the brand has become a prominent name for the modern caravanner.

The model names Alpine and Major have been used since the 1950s and are etched into many caravan owners' memories.

The Sprite Alpine was the best-selling caravan in the UK in 1970-1971, and at the time, it seemed everybody had bought one at some point in their caravanning career. Used Sprites still sell well and many are made as dealer specials.

Sprite's founder, Sam Alper OBE, had wanted to make affordable vans with quality build, and to this day, the Sprite name stands for value far beyond these shores (many were exported and built under licence elsewhere).

The 2019 range came with such spec as DAB radio, Status TV aerial, a flyscreen on the door and a host of other goodies. With 10 layouts available by then (including twin-axles) the choice is wide.
