Hi.

After a very bad experience with a damp Bailey Ranger, myself and the wife have decided to purchase a Sprite Musketeer TD caravan for next season.  Do Sprite Caravans suffer much with damp? I think its just a case of once bitten twice shy but we'd hate to be caught out again.

Cheers

Forget British built Vans mate. Damp still seems to be a huge problem. We've been caravanning years with an old Stercman caravan bought in France years ago. No damp. No problems. Traded it for a hobby which in the end was just a little heavy for us. Still no damp, no problems.

We traded it for a  Bailey Ranger  last year brand new. Have just had it serviced and it has bad damp in 3 places.  Thankfully its being fixed under warranty. Then i'll be rid of it and back to a european van once more. No damp, no problems.

Take a look at Hobby or Adria caravans mate before you jump in again. the build quality is far superior. They are well kitted out for the price, they have a good support network here in the UK and most importantly they won't leak.

All the best and good luck with your new van  

Hi.
