The Sterling Eccles marque sits within the Swift Group range of products. Swift Caravans have a reputation for manufacturing lightweight and affordable caravans that don't compromise on style or comfort.

Overview

Sterling brought out the popular Eccles Ruby model in 2009 to celebrate their 90th anniversary. With a long history of caravan design behind it the Eccles marque has undergone various re-designs. The current line up consists of seven layouts suited to both couples and families with designed with Scandinavian influenced interiors.

Layouts and interior

Each model has a class leading 1.95 metre headroom and the 2.3 metre wide body shell is encased by one-piece, thick-gauge, high-gloss aluminium sidewalls.

2010 saw the introduction of an exterior barbeque point, and the main kitchens were refitted with a stainless steel effect fridge and a granite effect moulded sink. The Thetford oven and 3 burner hobs are also finished in stainless steel to complete the look.

The washrooms are fitted with separate lined showers, and the two twin axle models both hold a 40 litre underfloor insulated fresh water tank with an autofill control system.

The entry level two berth Sterling Eccles Topaz has an MTPLM of 1,387kg whilst at the heavier end, the 6 berth twin axle Sterling Eccles Amethyst weighs in with an MTPLM of 1,818kg.

The complete line ranges in price from £14,881 to £17,875:
