Is the Sprite Major 4 SB a practical choice for families?
The Sprite Major 4 SB is a 4 berth, single axle caravan that balances a 1454kg MTPLM with a popular transverse island bed layout. Built by the Swift Group, it utilizes SMART construction and a 7.54m total length to provide a dedicated rear bedroom and a full-width end washroom. Its relatively low weight makes it compatible with a variety of mid-sized family cars.

- SMART construction system using GRP body panels for moisture resistance.
- Full-width rear washroom featuring a separate shower cubicle.
- Truma Combi dual fuel system for heating and hot water.
- Swift Command control system for managing onboard functions.
Worth knowing: The 2.25m width is narrower than the 8ft wide Super models in the range. Storage beneath the island bed is partially obstructed by the bed frame. Payload is limited to 156kg, which must cover all personal belongings and optional extras.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sprite Major 4 SB | 4 | 1454 kg | 7.54 m | £14,500 to £26,995 |

The Sprite Major 4 SB sits in a competitive segment of the 4 berth market. Compared to the Elddis Affinity, it is longer at 7.54m but offers a lower MTPLM than the 1550kg found in the Bailey Unicorn Cabrera. While the Bailey Unicorn Deluxe Vigo and Valencia models offer similar berth counts, the Sprite remains a lighter alternative at 1454kg. The choice between these models often depends on whether the buyer prioritises the Sprite's SMART construction and 2.25m width over the slightly heavier or wider alternatives from Bailey and Elddis.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
