Swift Sterling Eccles Sport 586: what to know

The Swift Sterling Eccles Sport 586 is a six-berth, single-axle family caravan with fixed rear bunk beds, a side dinette and an end bedroom/living split. Its 1500 kg MTPLM and 173 kg payload should be checked against the tow car and the intended load, while the 7.48 m length and 2.25 m width require careful site and storage planning.

• Six berths with fixed bunk beds and a side dinette that converts into a single bed with a pull-out bunk above.
• The rear family zone leaves the front lounge available for adults, although the central corridor can feel tight when the dinette is made up.
• GRP outer skin and timber-less framing, an AL-KO galvanised steel chassis and an AL-KO AKS 3004 stabiliser are recorded features.
• Truma Combi heating and hot water, plus a kitchen with Dometic fridge, oven, grill and microwave, are listed equipment.
• The wet room combines the toilet and shower in one floor space, which saves room but creates a clear compromise.

Worth knowing: Specifications can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment. The recorded marketplace listing count is zero, so current availability should be confirmed rather than assumed. Confirm the specific caravan's equipment, condition, plated weights and payload before purchase.

Who the Sterling Eccles Sport 586 suits

Worth knowing: The six-berth capacity does not remove the need to manage the 173 kg payload carefully. The shared wet-room floor and narrower central passage may not suit buyers prioritising separate washing and toilet facilities or generous circulation space. No production years are recorded, so age and model-year equipment must be established from the individual caravan's documentation.

Compare the Swift Sterling Eccles Sport 586 with similar models

The Sterling Eccles Sport 586 is most clearly differentiated by its fixed rear bunk beds, side dinette and six-berth family layout, combined with a recorded 1500 kg MTPLM and 173 kg payload. The listed alternatives vary in length, recorded MTPLM and price range, so the appropriate comparison depends on tow-car limits, storage space, payload needs and budget. None is an automatic replacement: verify each individual caravan's specification, equipment and condition before deciding.

Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.

Ownership checks for the Sterling Eccles Sport 586

• Plan the load around the recorded 173 kg payload, giving particular attention to equipment carried for six berths and to where it is stored.
• Practise converting the side dinette into its single bed and using the pull-out bunk before trips, as this is central to the six-berth arrangement.
• Check that the tow vehicle, storage location and pitch access suit the caravan's 7.48 m length, 2.25 m width and 2.65 m height.
• Keep the fixed bunk area, under-bunk storage and overhead lockers organised so family equipment does not compromise the available payload.
• Test the wet room in its shared toilet-and-shower configuration and confirm that the layout works for the intended occupants.
• Verify the operation and presence of the recorded heating, hot-water, kitchen and stabiliser equipment on the caravan being bought.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Treating the six-berth rating as permission to load without checking the 173 kg payload.
• Assuming every example has identical equipment or weights without checking model year, trim and optional equipment.
• Measuring only the pitch footprint and overlooking the recorded height of 2.65 m when planning storage or access.

Worth knowing: These are verification and planning points based on the recorded layout, dimensions, weights and equipment, not claims about faults. Individual condition and equipment should be confirmed from the caravan's documentation and inspection.

Alternatives to the Swift Sterling Eccles Sport 586

• Swift S Line - Consider the Swift S Line if a six-berth alternative with a slightly greater recorded length of 7.54 m, a lower recorded MTPLM of 1450 kg and a recorded price range of 16500 to 32500 is relevant.
• Swift Siena - Consider the Swift Siena if a six-berth alternative with a shorter recorded length of 7.31 m, a recorded MTPLM of 1450 kg and a recorded price range of 14500 to 28500 better fits the brief.
