Compare the Sterling Continental with similar models

Model	Berths	MTPLM	Length	Typical price
Sterling Continental	6	1750 kg	7.54 m	£17,500 to £32,000
Adria Alpina	6	1800 kg	7.30 m	£22,000 to £45,000
Knaus Starclass	6	1800 kg	7.48 m	£18,500 to £38,000

The Sterling Continental sits at the upper end of the market with a price range between 17500 and 32000. While the Bailey Alicanto and Adria Alpina offer similar berth capacities and weights, the Continental distinguishes itself with the Swift Command system and specific SMART construction. The choice between these models often depends on the preference for Sterling's specific interior aesthetics versus the slightly lighter MTPLM options found in the Bailey Phoenix or Swift Conqueror ranges.

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

Tips for Sterling Continental owners.

Utilise the Swift Command system to monitor battery levels when using the solar panel off-grid.
Make use of the external 230V socket and BBQ point to extend living space outdoors.
Regularly inspect the GRP front sunroof seals to maintain the benefits of the SMART construction.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Exceeding the 190kg payload when fully loaded for a six-berth trip.
• Underestimating the towing requirements for the 1750kg MTPLM.

Worth knowing: The 2.26m width and 7.54m length require careful maneuvering in tight spaces.
