Hello, we are a Dutch family. Last year we bought a Swift Sprite Alpine 2 Duette at Broadlane Alcester UK. It's a really nice caravan, but unfortunately the bed is not as comfortable as we had hoped for. We are now looking for a caravan with a fixed bed. As we do not want a large caravan the Swift Sprite Alpine 4 seems to tick all the boxes for us. We can only judge from pictures, as this caravan is not for sale in the Netherlands. Question for owners of a Swifte Sprite Alpine 4: is the caravan not too small? The beds in the front, which we will only use for lounging, are they comfortable enough for relaxing? Is the caravan not too cramped? Thank you very much for your reaction! Kind regards, Melanie

Hello , we have Sprite Alpine 4 and like the caravan. The front lounge seats are comfortable we also find the bed more comfortable than our bed at home . The caravan is quite compact and the washroom is only really useful as a toilet as the shower is not really practical because of the size. It is very light and tows really well.

Thank you for your reaction. May I ask where you leave your pots and pand? Because there seems to be limited space

The Bailey Ranger 460/4 is very similar and also worth a look.

Thank you for your reaction, but we would like to purchase a Swift because in the future we can sell it again in Holland. Bailley is very unknown to Dutch caravanners

Hi , there is a small cupboard under the cooker and the cupboard above the cooker did house a microwave but we have taken that out and put our pots and pans here. There is a good size wardrobe for clothes and you can access all the storage under the bed from the outside locker door. We find it OK for the two of us but very cramped when our teenagers come with us. Feel free to ask any more questions

We now also have a microwave. Dit not use it once, so it might be put out in the next caravan. Great idea! Our sons of 18 and 15 did come along this last holiday but they stay in tents. I think the Alpine 4 might really be the caravan for us. Unfortunately we have to sell our caravan first;)

we were looking at the Sprite, I am only 5ft 6in and my legs hung over the seats when laid out. Also the toilet is on the same side as the door so if using a full awning the cassette would be in the awning which I didn't like
apart from that a very nice caravan
