- Опубликовано: 14 окт 2024
- So I was driving down the road a few nights ago and saw this beauty on the side of the road and boy did it catch my eye! I did a quick u turn and went back to check it out and to my surprise it was for sale. So i called the phone number on the sign and found out that the owner was asking $3,050 for it and that was a little more than i would like to spend right now so i decided to pass. The following day I thought to myself that its not every day you see an awesome 1974 Sprite vintage camper. So i gave the owner another call and asked if I could make a video of it and he said yes! So I was so excited that i left my shop early and drove all the way back just to make this video. Id like to thank the owner of this camper for being so willing to let me, a total stranger film his camper. Hope you all enjoy this vintage camper tour just as much as I did recording it.

What about lighting?
I think there was a small fixture on the roof next to the air vent. But other then that I'm not sure... kind of strange, nice catch! Thanks for watching.

@@squeakychairproductions6813 There are two. One under the cabinets over the back bed and one over the sink/stove
I owned a Sprite! Actually after camping in my parents Sprite, I bought it from them. They used it 20 yrs and I used it 10 yrs. Best camper ever
i have a 73 sprite and just got it back into camping shape. bought it for $300 and have that much again into rebuilding it. great little camper for me and the wife.
I am rehabbing my 1974 sprite and you really helped me see what the original layout is thanks for the post
Glad I could help thanks for watching good luck on your project!
Are you doing the work on it yourself? I just got one and would like to do the work myself...
The Sprite was very popular here in New Zealand and there were plenty of them around back in the day. There still is but you'd be lucky to pick one up that needs full restoration for less than $7k. You will not see a Sprite or similar quality caravan that has been restored for less than $15k and likely way more, even up to $35k. Small caravans in this country have made a major comeback in recent years, I just purchased one a few days ago myself, a 1969 10ft Clipper in orginal condition. I had been looking for maybe 6 months to find a really good caravan at a decent price. It was listed on a site and I went to see it and owned it within 90 minutes. There had already been a dozen calls and others were on their way to see it also, that's how quick you have to be.
I have a 1966 Sprite 400 in pretty good condition. Has a canvas ten that adds a room and then a canvas awning in to it!! I love it.
YES...! PLEASE have MORE vintage trailers! THANKS! (I' ve subscribed...). 😄👍👣
It has the exact same layout as my 1982 13 foot Scamp. It even has the same stove!
Love that rig, I saw your channel and liked it, so I’m a full fledged member of your channel, ok😂. This is Alan, GREETINGS from Riverside in Southern California.
I Love it!!! The windows around the dinette are awesome!!!
Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching!
I like the old school stuff 😉👍🙏
As an Englishman and a caravan owner, I've had a few Sprite's over the years. Old ones obviously. I'm skint! (Broke). I didn't know they flogged (sold) em in America. Lovely to see one still going strong. You can pick em up for a song in the UK. 5 or 6 hundred quid will get you a pretty good one. Really enjoyed watching this. Cheers mate! Jez. 👍
That rite in my backyard...I like it gotta drive around and look for it
Nice little trailer we have a1974 Trillum 13ft
I have a 1971 Sprite. It was in much harder shape, as it was in the woods at our family camp for man, many years. The front couch actually had two beds. One above the other and the upper bunk folded down to be the back of the couch. We turned that couch into the dinette so you did not have to make your bed every day. I do like the idea of putting an air conditioner under that closest. Although with the giant windows and vent in the roof it cools down fast with good air movement. Other than being a really cool camper it is the best to tow because you can open all the curtains and see right through it. Makes it so much easier to back up and see vehicles behind you. 3000 is actually a very nice price for this great camper because I put at least that much in repainting, rebuilding the dinette, put a new stove and countertop, brand new cushions and rewire. The only drawback is you can not get hardware for it. I have tried everywhere to replace the stays without any luck. Another pro is the fact that two people can push it around easily and even I can put it on and off a hitch and it can be towed by almost any vehicle.

Would like to see vintage campers with showers I liked your video very cool little camper
I rather have 1 of these cool puppies than being out on the streets sleeping in a tent.
Finally! A video of a 74! I’m doing a total gut rehab on one currently and find it so rare to find pictures/videos of my particular model (which this is similar, but some differences).
I had one that I love and wanted to renovate but SOOOOO expensive to import things like windows , our windows were much more aerodynamic and different . Love it
Sprite caravans are very rare in North America, but for the rest of the World, they were the World's biggest caravan manufacturer, turning out 33,000 units per year globally at their peak. Sprite bought the old Covered Wagon factory in Indiana to ship a flat-pack Sprite over from the UK and assemble it in the US to get around high import taxes. You can read the full history of Sprite in the US here: www.classicspritecaravans.co.uk/sprite-caravans-in-north-america
I love it
This camper is awesome !!
The camper of my dreams...
I absolutely love this!!! The video is a year old now, area you still finding and selling similar trailers?!? Very interested!! Sincerely, Kimberlee
Dude! You finally hit 1,000+ subscribers and then disappear for 7 months? I would kill for 1,000 subscribers. Now is the time to start pumping out content.
I wish this was for sale right now! I'd be driving over there tomorrow to check it out. I'm in Lancaster County, so less than an hour away. I'm looking for a small camper like this.
I have lots of vintage camper videos on my channel also.
Adorable.
I have a 1975 Sprite, built in the US as Sprite had subcontracted with an American company. The one in this vid may be built in the US because the door to the trailer is on what we know as the passenger side of the trailer, not behind the driver. Mine also has that hideous linoleum. Yes, we know what the storage is for. lol ...
My Sprite also has an actual room for a bathroom, but it's not a bathroom as it has no toilet, etc. The dining area arrangement is something I've never seen in a trailer, or in any of the Sprite vids I've seen. The table is 17" x 47", long and narrow. It is used as part of the larger bed's platform, but it doesn't break down into the typical trailer dining area. I have thought of taking out the bathroom and making the dining area more typical, but that's too much work and I camp alone, so it's not that big of a deal to me.
I have a 1973 Sprite 400 caravan. It is very similar to this one except the cupboard above the sink is a little different and it is green and white on the outside. I wanted to say that it was incorrectly mentioned in your video that these campers were shipped all they way across the ocean from the UK. That is not true....these campers were made for a 2 or 3 year period in the early 70's by the Sprite Manufacturing Company, Inc. in Nappanee, Indiana. The Spec sheet is still in my trailer.
Love Your Videos...Thanks for the Info...(2021.. Is My Year )
I'll give you a subscribe for the help on your first 1,000. I know the struggle, even though I am a heck of a lot newer to channel creation than you are. But we both share a love of vintage trailers apparently. I am currently restoring a 1973 Shasta, and have been visiting vintage trailer rallies for a couple of years now.
thanks
This is "Sweet" the bed might be a 3/4 (three quarter bed) larger than a twin, smaller than a full. They still make them 💗
Recently I made a camper video for my RUclips channel inspired by you too 😁🤘
What a good price, I bet it sold immediately
What a cool little camper love it :)
Very cute.👍
Thanks for watching!
Love it
Its December 2021---did it sell?
Where is this camper located. I think I love it.
962nd subscriber .. you'll have a thousand in no time
How u been brother
Was it sold ?
The best thing about it was the ventilation.
Is this camper still for sale? Thx
How does one find one for sale? Restored or needing work.
If its still for sale i would get rid of that narrow couch and move the sink, fridge and stove where the couch was and put a bigger bed. I would change out that ac to a ceiling ac onto the roof and put a solar panel on it
That is very cool!
Cute
It was a nice camper trailer. What about 14'? At least it has a bucket with a bucket for your constitutional.
Nice
Any idea if this is still available?
Do you happen to know if this is still for sale? I know its been awhile since this was uploaded
It sucks when you find the perfect little camper tooo late , ii know the feeling lol , just picked up a 16 foot 1969 corsair for 400 to restore because every time i try and find a good one they sell faster then hot cakes . Good luck on your hunt
I WANT IT!!!!
I want one but I need a bathroom /shower a wet bath in mine or at least a compost toilet
Is it still forsale? I see it’s 7 months later
I'm being blessed with camper kinda like that for 125$ my Pastor found it for me, shower and potty, needs some work , whose afraid of putting down a few floor boards for that price !!! The Lord is good ❤️ and ✝️🛐 s 💗
Amen to that! Congratulations!
Is this sold

My grand parents had one. The original hitch was better. It provided mechnical braking.
Hey new subscribers here and a big like 👍 Hope you enjoy our retro camper videos too
बहुत अच्छा है but toilet और स्नानागार के लिए और अच्छा option बताऐ।
I’ll help you out & subscribe.!
WTF??? A bucket toilet?? That's gross. Get a chemical toilet, would fit easily in that space.
😳, way to small, but if u r homeless, and need a home, then it’s perfect.
*"When in doubt, paint it out"*
