Just got a Sprite beleived to be around 1985 model. First caravan but found it easy to tow and control which is what I wanted being my first tiem. Compact but plenty of storage. Can't complain I got more than my moneys worth and only had it 4 weeks and been away 3 tiems . Now going away for a week to give us time to learn about the caravan and how things work.
compact well laid out good storage.
Tight space if you do ot have an awning.
Reviewing a 1985 model.
Called the XL model, would like to know the difference
Owned for 1 month.
Just sold ours after owing for 6 years (1986 model). Wonderful caravan, never had any problems with it. It had tlc before we bought it and whilst we owned it and it still has lots of life left. I hope its new owner loves it as much.
Watch out for water ingress through the outer join of alluminium panels approx 2/3 way up the van and along both sides. I have seen a few of these vans including my own that leaked in this area due to very little overlap of panels and breakdown of sealant. No rails are fitted in this area either so water can seap straight in especially when towing in heavy rain.
Owned for 3 years.

You can fit up to 5 people in the caravan, but I would recommended just the 4. Ours is 18.5ft and has plenty of room. The main beds are fine but the kids beds have tended to get a little bit uncomfortable through the years.
Other than that a lovely caravan.
Owned for 4 years.
