Sterling Eccles Quartz: Layout and Berth Facts
The Sterling Eccles Quartz is a caravan with 4 berths. Recorded layout tags include Fixed Island Bed and Rear Bedroom.
- Fixed rear island bed layout for unobstructed access to both sides of the mattress.
- SMART construction system utilizing GRP body panels for moisture resistance.
- High-specification heating via either Alde central heating or Truma Combi systems.
- Safety-focused towing with the integrated AL-KO ATC trailer control system.
- Bright interior living space aided by a large panoramic front sunroof.
Worth knowing: The 1650kg MTPLM requires a substantial tow car and potentially a B+E driving licence. At 7.54m in length, this model may be restricted on smaller, traditional pitches.
Buying a Sterling Eccles Quartz
Who it suits
- Couples seeking a permanent bed without the need to convert seating every night.
- Year-round tourers who require the insulation and heating performance of a four-season caravan.
- Experienced towers comfortable with a longer 7.54m single-axle footprint.
Reasons to consider it
- The fixed island bed provides superior sleeping comfort and ease of movement.
- SMART construction offers a modern approach to durability and water ingress protection.
- The kitchen is well-equipped for long-term touring with a full oven, grill, and microwave.
What to check
- Confirm whether the specific unit is fitted with Alde central heating or the Truma Combi system.
- Verify the operation of the AL-KO ATC system and check the age of the tyres given the 1650kg MTPLM.
- Inspect the high-gloss locker doors and contemporary upholstery for signs of wear or sun damage.
- Check the service history for annual damp inspections to maintain the SMART construction integrity.
Worth knowing: The island bed layout prioritises the bedroom, which can result in a more compact front lounge compared to non-fixed bed models. Payload is 175kg; buyers should calculate the weight of optional extras like motor movers to ensure they stay within legal limits.

The Sterling Eccles Quartz competes in the premium 4-berth sector, specifically targeting those who prioritise a fixed island bed. When compared to the Bailey Unicorn Vigo or Elddis Crusader Mistral, the Quartz offers a similar 1650kg MTPLM and high-spec heating but distinguishes itself through Swift's SMART construction and specific interior styling. While the Bailey models often come in slightly lighter at 1600kg, the Sterling provides a 7.54m length that maximises the bedroom area, making it a balanced choice for those who value sleeping space over lounge floor area.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Sterling Eccles Quartz Ownership Tips
- Utilise the under-bed storage for heavier items to keep the centre of gravity low, but monitor the noseweight.
- Regularly clean the panoramic sunroof seals to prevent debris build-up and ensure a watertight seal.
- Ensure the AL-KO ATC system is correctly initialised each time the caravan is hitched to the tow vehicle.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Underestimating the swing of a 7.54m caravan when navigating tight corners or fuel stations.
- Overloading the rear island bed storage area, which can negatively impact towing stability.
Worth knowing: Always verify the specific MTPLM on the weight plate, as optional equipment can affect the available 175kg payload.
