The restyled elegant 7’4” ( 7' 6'' on Europa 495, 610, 620 & 650) wide bodyshell with restyled exterior windows of this range are enhanced with individually designed alloy wheels with a 'Sterling' badge on the centre bosses, AKS 3004 stabiliser to help prevent “snaking” and an AL-KO “Euro” hitch with two-way assisted handbrake. The spare steel wheel and tyre are stored in a handy underslung carrier near the axle for ideal weight distribution and there is a wet locker with exterior access for wet or muddy items.

The modern high gloss one piece aluminium thick gauge panel exterior is echoed inside the caravan, where fresh clean Scandinavian-style interior design goes hand-in-hand with quality, modern features. Cream and charcoal soft furnishings, including two bolster cushions and two scatter cushions, which can be used as armrests or pillows, are complemented by the Locarno Apple wood colour furniture and continental style curtains.

Spaceframe construction has been used on lockers and seats to makes them strong and precision-built and enables reading lights and cable runs to be built-in. It also creates generous storage space underneath seats with easy access via the full-front access flaps.The look and feel of real quality is continued with full-height door flyscreen, clear opening, panoramic Heki rooflight with blind and flyscreen, mounted in the lounge, and loose-fit carpets, which are easily removed for cleaning.

Kitchens offer a 107-litre electronic ignition fridge with stylish curved door, which provides plenty of pace for a family, incorporating a full-width freezer compartment. A single energy selector enables the selection of gas, mains electric or 12v by running just one switch. The dual fuel hob has three gas hotplates and one electric hotplate, to save gas if needed, a gas grill and full size oven.

Aluminium double bed frames are strong and lightweight with easy access to generous underbed storage. Some models have a new revolutionary washroom with a washbasin and mirror on a wall, which pivots to create a dry area for the washbasin and toilet and a wet are for showing. The 600 features a large rear washroom with a double walk-in wardrobe.
