We've had our 2016 Sprite Major 4SB since new. We use it regularly, and have taken her to France a few times and once to Spain. So it's been about a bit, but the past few years we've not ventured more than 50 or so miles from our storage. We had a recurring problem with the water supply from new. Every time I refill the aquaroll I have to bleed the system. Always. A pest, but not a labour of Hercules.Two weeks ago couldn't get any supply through at all. Just hissing and bubbling noises, but no water. I tried everything, by passed the inlet housing and it sucked up a jug of water. So, took to the dealer for replacement inlet housing. As they were pushing the van into the workshop, the techs noticed a problem. The front locker was parting company from the bulkhead of the van. Evidently they are attached by a sort of angle iron and short screws which had come adrift. This makes the van "bounce" at the front and could be dangerous. A couple of hours later, we had both running water and a bounce free van. Please check the bounce factor, it's a common problem on Sprites apparently. Just open the front locker, push down on the front wall and see if the van bounces. If it does, get it fixed. Stay safe.
