  The Swift Sprite is a range that has it all, catering for parties of all sizes and offering a broad range of different options to suit your caravanning requirements. With a continued focus on value for money, the Sprite offers everything you could ask for and more, without breaking the bank!

  The Swift Sprite, which is standard width, offers seven models accommodating 2-6 people, while the Swift Sprite Grande is slightly wider at 8ft and offers four models of its own; two 4-berth and two 6-berth options.

  The answer to this question depends on many factors - are you looking to buy new or pre-owned, do you need a two-berth or a larger family caravan, a compact model or extra wide, are you happy with the basics or are you looking for luxury? All these things will impact the price.

  The first thing to do is decide how much you’re able to spend and set yourself a budget. This will enable you to focus on the types of caravan in your price range. Next, make a list of must-haves to ensure that the caravan you end up with ticks all your boxes.
