Hi, have started repairing my sprite Musketeer from were I left off from the end of last year. Now that the decent weather is coming and I`ve got two weeks off to finish the repairs. One of the repairs is too the locker at the front of the caravan were you put your gas bottles. Does anyone know if the locker door is fitted to the caravan with a hinge, as mine is held together with some gaff tape and some wire.

We've owned 2 Sprites.

The 1989 Major - the hinge broke just before we sold it on in 2002 to my Brother, he repaired it. The 1991 Musketeer - when we bought it in 2002 the hinge had already broken and been repaired and tape of some sort had been put along the hinge to strengthen it. I never looked underneath the tape to see how solid the hinge was.

I guess it must be a common fault with them. I think my Brother just bought a new hinge and fitted it.

Cheers guys hope to get it done next week after I`ve got the rest of the van sorted

Cheers romany, got an idea of what your meaning.

Thanks.

hi hubby put the hinges on the hatch/cover first using rivet gun, then fixed the cover to the van with left hand. He said that he did drill the holes out for the rivets first

good luck
