| Model | Berths | MTPLM | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sterling Eccles Moonstone | 6 | 1550 kg | 6.80 m | £8,000 to £25,000 |

The Sterling Eccles Moonstone occupies a competitive position in the mid-range caravan market. While it shares its 6.8m length and price bracket with the Swift Corniche, it offers a higher MTPLM, suggesting a different balance of equipment and build weight. Compared to the Swift Fairway, it is more compact, making it easier to store while offering the same maximum berth capacity. It remains a consistent choice for those prioritising a mix of traditional design and layout flexibility.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Sterling Eccles Moonstone Ownership Tips
- Utilise the 300kg payload carefully by distributing heavier items over the axle on the Al-Ko chassis.
- Measure storage pitches to ensure they can accommodate the 6.8m shipping length and 2.29m width.
- Regularly service the integrated washroom and shower components to maintain the 'home-from-home' functionality.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Exceeding the 300kg payload when fully loaded for a 6-person trip.
- Assuming all Moonstone models have identical heating specifications without checking the year.
Worth knowing: Ensure your tow vehicle is rated for at least 1550kg to accommodate the maximum technical permissible laden mass.
