The Sprite sits in a sweet spot. It’s for new caravanners who want a friendly first step, couples who like easy weekends away, and families who prefer lighter towing with honest value. You get Swift’s SMART timber-less construction and Grade 3 insulation, so comfort isn’t a guessing game. If you’re browsing, start on our Swift Sprite range page.
If you want a proper touring caravan that’s simple to run and doesn’t stretch the budget, Sprite makes sense. It’s light, practical and well finished. Think warm evenings with the lounge made up in minutes, kit stored neatly, and towing that feels calm behind the car. That’s Sprite.
Price to spec is strong, running costs are sensible, and the layouts are proven. You’re buying a caravan that feels friendly to live with and holds its value well. For many buyers, it’s the first “proper” tourer that still feels easy from day one.

There are moments in business that feel almost surreal, and this one sits right at the top. Kimberley – The Caravans and Motorhome People – have been voted Caravan Dealer of the Year 2026 at the Out & About Awards. Public vote. No panels tucked away in quiet rooms. No mysterious judging criteria. Just real caravanners, motorhomers, weekend wanderers, and lifelong road-trippers choosing the dealer they trust most.
Honestly, that makes it hit a little deeper.

You've been scrolling through AutoTrader and Facebook for weeks now. That Coachman Laser at £2,000 less than dealer price looks tempting, doesn't it? The private seller seems genuine enough in their messages. They've got photos, a service history (well, most of it), and they're just over in Chesterfield. What could possibly go wrong?
