| Model | Berths | MTPLM | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sterling Eccles Elite | 6 | 1650 kg | 7.30 m | £12,000 to £38,000 |
| Bailey Phoenix | 6 | 1600 kg | 7.37 m | £14,500 to £28,500 |

The Sterling Eccles Elite occupies a competitive position in the luxury caravan market, balanced against alternatives like the Coachman Pastiche and Bailey Unicorn. While it shares a 1650kg MTPLM with several rivals, its 7.3m length is slightly more compact than the 7.54m Swift Eccles. It offers a significant 300kg payload, which is a key consideration for users comparing it to the Bailey Phoenix. The choice between these models often rests on specific layout preferences, such as the Sterling's island bed or side dinette configurations, versus the slightly different dimensions found in the Coachman or Bailey ranges.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Practical tips for Sterling Eccles Elite owners
- Utilise the 300kg payload efficiently by distributing weight evenly over the AL-KO chassis.
- Regularly inspect the seals around the panoramic sunroof to maintain the interior finish.
- Ensure the Truma Combi system is serviced annually to maintain four-season touring comfort.
Common mistakes to avoid
- • Underestimating the 2.3m width when navigating narrow rural lanes.
- • Exceeding the 300kg payload by installing heavy aftermarket accessories without weighing the unit.
Worth knowing: Always use a towing calculator to ensure your car is compatible with the 1650kg MTPLM.
