About the Sterling Eccles Sport

The Sterling Eccles Sport is a standout choice for UK tourers seeking a contemporary aesthetic without the premium price tag of the Elite range. Produced by the Swift Group, this range is particularly noted for its 'SMART' construction technology, which replaced traditional timber with PURe materials to improve durability and water resistance. With an MTPLM typically around 1450kg, it sits in a sweet spot for many mid-sized family cars, though we always recommend using our Caravan Towing Calculator to ensure a safe match.

Inside, the Eccles Sport is defined by its bright, airy feel, often featuring a panoramic front sunroof and energy-efficient LED lighting. The range is highly versatile, offering everything from classic end washroom layouts for couples to family-friendly 6-berth configurations with fixed bunks. Buyers should look for models fitted with the Truma blown air heating system, which provides reliable year-round comfort. While the interior finishes are stylish, check the condition of the lightweight cabinetry in high-use areas.

This model is ideal for those upgrading from an entry-level van who want modern features like an AL-KO chassis and integrated appliances in a manageable, easy-to-tow package. Discover your perfect Sterling Eccles Sport on RoamWorthy today!
