Sprite Major 6 Ownership Tips

Utilise the side dinette for daytime meals to keep the front lounge clear.
Regularly service the Truma heating system to maintain the home-from-home ambiance.
Use a towing calculator to confirm compatibility with your vehicle's limits against the 1450kg MTPLM.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Assuming all Major 6 models have identical bunk configurations.
