Where do I get Sterling and Sprite spares?
- You’ll find that many components are common with other caravan makes
- Caravan dealers, breakers etc should be able to help
- Recent Sterling and Sprite caravans have been made by the Swift Group, so share many components with Swift caravans.
Are you dog friendly?
- Many our members have at least one dog.
- Our rallies are certainly dog-friendly, many taking place where there are designated dog walks.
- As you’d anticipate we ask that dogs are kept on leads and tidied up afterwards.
- Our National Rally is where our doggy friends meet up with their friends from across the UK.
I’ve bought a vintage Sprite or Sterling caravan? Can you point me to repairers or offer support with my restoration?
- Unfortunately we can’t help you directly here. Some of our members may be able to help. We’d suggest asking in the Sterling and Sprite Owners Facebook group and in retro and vintage caravan groups you’ll also find on Facebook.
- As a Sprite or Sterling owner we’d love to see you join us.
