Sprite Major 6, 2010

Price new: £12,175

This caravan is a: six berth with triple bunk bed.

Swift launches the new-layout Sprite Major 6 this September into a growing family caravan market that demands ever higher standards yet seeks to stay within low budgets and low weights.
The Major 6 fulfils those criteria amply, with lots of new features and bags of style – the sort of style and character you’d associate with Swift’s more expensive Charisma and Challenger ranges.
Sweeping bronze and silver graphics will catch your eye first, together with a new-style “S” Sprite badge on the front of the gas locker. Step inside and this under-£12,000 caravan will impress you even more.
There’s a long list of changes for the 2010 Sprites compared with the 2009 models to look at... We’ll start at the top. A Status 530 aerial gives you directional rather than omni-directional reception. All lockers get concealed positive metal catches. The front bed access has been improved: as well as hinge-up top access you now have full-length front access drop panels.
But the major – yes – difference between Major 6 ’09 and Major 6 ’10 is the layout. This model now has fixed triple bunks. The bottom bunk folds upwards against the wall to give you storage space. This family section gives you a wedge-shaped table and seating that accommodates three comfortably.

Our verdict
 Lots of value, lots of style everywhere including the kitchen sink, lots of options; you can keep the price down or you can spend a little more and get an even greater value caravan with a Diamond Pack... The new Sprite Major 6 presents a well-built, well-designed option that we think will appeal to many families. Put simply, it looks as if it has cost you a lot more than it has.
