My first two caravans were a Sprite Alpine then a Sprite Musketeer, but that was many years ago. The Alpine was from the 1950s and the Musketeer was from the 1960s, and my Musketeer was a pale green colour. The Musketeer was very roomy, which we needed at the time because we had 3 children and 2 dogs, and we didn't even have an awning for additional space. Few people did in the 1970s. One thing I liked about my Musketeer was the pull-down double bed at the rear which could be left made up. All you had to do at night was pull it down and undo a strap that held the bedding in place during the day. You never see that layout these days.

That's the Musketeer we had Colin. The bed folded up to make a back rest for the dinette. The bed was short when folded so the bottom pulled out and the dinette cushion slotted in to make the foot. Seemed to me to be such a simple and space effective way of having a fixed bed without the huge waste of space they are now.

Mine is not like that but I still love it as it is. In the brochure it shows that that sort of arrangement is a Musceteer S type.
