Eccles – other models: the collective page of British caravans outside the named ranges with Sapphire, Topaz, Jade, Amethyst and Moonstone, 755 to 1,410 kg unladen weight, up to 1,566 kg gross weight
Eccles built caravans in Britain and now belongs to the Swift Group; this page gathers the versions outside the named ranges. Model names continue the Eccles tradition of naming ranges after gemstones: Sapphire (also as Sapphire CK, Sapphire de Luxe T and Sapphire Model 1970), Topaz (in sizes 380, 440, 460 and 520, some with the EK suffix), alongside Jade, Amethyst CD, Moonstone (also as Moonstone B and Moonstone T), Elite Diamond, Sterling Eccles and the SE type.

The register lists 19 versions here with unladen weights from 755 to 1,410 kg, permissible gross weights from 817 to 1,566 kg, lengths from 5,750 to 7,480 mm and widths from 2,070 to 2,250 mm.
With gross weights under 1,600 kg and lengths up to 7,480 mm, the Eccles models on this page cover the classic range of British touring caravans from the 1960s to the 1980s, from compact two-berth layouts to long family caravans.
For a used Eccles caravan of these model years, the checklist covers a damp check of the floor, walls and roof – particularly important on the older timber-framed bodies – the condition of windows and roof lights, the function of the gas system and heating, and the overrun actuator, braking system and axle suspension for wear and corrosion. Spare parts for the body and interior fittings of this model-year range are often only available through specialist restoration workshops and the British caravan trade.

What to check before buying
- Search the frame and welds at the axle mounts — that is where cracks start.
- Check the brakes and the last inspection in the papers.
- Work the gross weight against the towing vehicle before buying.
- Compare the chassis number with the papers.
- Look at the floor, cover or body from the inside — rust does not show from outside.
