Swift Sprite Major 4 SB – 2017 Caravan
This pre-owned 2017 Swift Sprite Major 4 SB is one of the most popular mid-range touring layouts in the UK, and for good reason. Built on Swift's proven SMART construction platform — which replaces traditional internal timberwork with moisture-resistant polyurethane materials and impact-resistant GRP side panels and roof — it's designed to stand up to British weather year after year, backed by Swift's 10-year bodyshell warranty from new.
At just 1254 kg unladen and a maximum laden weight of 1410 kg, this is a genuinely easy caravan to tow. Most mid-sized family cars — think Ford Kuga, VW Passat, Skoda Kodiaq — will handle it comfortably on a standard UK licence. That lightweight single-axle setup means less fuel consumption on the road and more confidence for anyone stepping up to their first four-berth tourer.
If you're browsing our full range of used caravans, you'll find the Sprite Major 4 SB stands out as brilliant value for money — a proper four-berth with a fixed bed and full washroom at a price that doesn't sting. You can also look into the model's heritage and Swift Caravans' track record as one of the UK's longest-established manufacturers.

What Owners Love About The Sprite Major 4 SB
- Fixed island bed — climb in, lights off, no faffing with cushions every night. It’s ready when you are.
- Full-width rear washroom with a separate shower cubicle — no wet towels dripping onto the toilet.
- Panoramic front sunroof floods the lounge with natural light, making the interior feel far bigger than it is.
- Lightweight towing — under 1500 kg fully loaded, so a huge range of everyday family cars can tow it without breaking a sweat.
- Truma blown-air heating keeps every corner of the caravan warm, from the lounge right through to the washroom.

INTERIOR HIGHLIGHTS
Bedroom The transverse fixed island bed sits centrally, flanked by his-and-hers wardrobes and overhead storage lockers. It’s a proper double with enough room to get in and out from either side. Under the bed there’s a generous storage area for cases and bulkier items, and the bed frame slides back slightly during the day to widen the walkway through to the washroom.
Washroom Running the full width of the rear, the end washroom feels properly spacious for a single-axle caravan. There’s a fully enclosed separate shower cubicle, a Thetford swivel-bowl cassette toilet, and a vanity basin with mirror. Dedicated shelving and a linen cupboard give you somewhere to stash towels and toiletries without cluttering the main living space.
Lounge Up front, two parallel bench sofas finished in grey fabric with mustard accent cushions face each other across a central chest unit. A freestanding dining table stows away in its own dedicated locker when not in use. For guests or family, these benches pull together on slats to form a second generous double bed. The panoramic sunroof above makes the whole space bright and airy during the day.
Kitchen The mid-ship side kitchen comes with a three-burner gas hob, a combination oven and grill, a three-way Dometic fridge-freezer, and a round sink with a flip-up worktop extension for extra prep space. Everything is positioned at a practical working height, and there’s good cupboard storage above and below the worktops.
Technology A Truma Combi boiler provides blown-air heating and hot water on either gas or 230V mains hook-up — it heats up quickly and distributes warmth through vents in the lounge, bedroom, and washroom. The Swift Command control panel above the entry door monitors battery levels, operates the water pump, and controls lighting zones. A FireAngel carbon monoxide alarm and smoke detector are fitted for peace of mind.

EXTERIOR & TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTS
The SMART construction bodyshell uses bonded GRP panels over a timber-free framework, giving excellent resistance to damp and delamination — one of the biggest concerns when buying a used caravan. The single-axle AL-KO galvanised steel chassis keeps things stable on the road, and alloy wheels come as standard on this specification.
Externally, there’s a mains hook-up inlet, a fresh water connection point, and a gas locker at the front with space for gas bottles. The rear panel is full-height GRP for added protection against stone chips and road spray. Grab handles on the exterior sidewall make getting in and out straightforward.
This caravan’s low kerbweight means it pairs well with a huge range of tow cars without needing anything heavy-duty — perfect if you’re towing with an everyday family car.

Frequently Asked Questions
Has this caravan been checked for damp? Every used caravan at Golden Castle goes through a thorough inspection before it reaches the forecourt. If you’d like to see the damp readings for yourself when you visit, just ask — we’re happy to walk you through them.
Can I tow this on a standard UK licence? Yes. At 1410 kg fully laden, the Sprite Major 4 SB falls well within the towing limits for a standard UK licence. Most mid-sized family cars — estates, SUVs, and larger hatchbacks — will tow it comfortably.
Will my car tow this caravan? As a general guide, your car’s kerbweight should ideally match or exceed the caravan’s MTPLM of 1410 kg. Cars like the Ford Kuga, VW Passat, Skoda Kodiaq, Hyundai Tucson, or Kia Sportage are all well-suited. If you’re not sure, bring your V5 along and we’ll check the numbers with you on-site.
Can I check the history of this caravan before buying? Absolutely. You can verify the caravan’s identity and check for any outstanding finance or theft markers through the CRiS website. We’ll also provide full documentation with the sale.
Do you accept part exchange? Yes, we welcome part exchanges. Bring your current caravan along when you visit and we’ll give you a fair, no-obligation valuation on the spot.
What does the 156 kg payload actually mean? That’s the weight you can add on top of the caravan’s unladen weight before hitting the maximum limit. It covers everything you load in — water, gas bottles, bedding, pots, pans, clothes, food. It’s on the tighter side, so keep an eye on what you pack and weigh the essentials if you’re unsure.
