hi there. we are looking at getting a used conway cruiser or sterling(blue/cream interior)1 to 4 years old.can anyone give me ANY information to help?i know the cruiser has sprung mattresses,but are there any other differences between the two?has anyone any tales/preferences? ANYTHING WOULD BE HELPFUL. 

I have just sold our Sterling to upgrade to a pathfinder (to keep the wife happy!)But Iloved the sterling for the looks and comfort.You are correct the sterling does not have sprung mattresses but that made no difference to me as I had my best nights sleep ever because the beds are so comfy.The unit is so well put together and is very easy to erect.We had a 2000 model and even though it did not have the penmatic open system is was very easy to fold out.I can not comment on the cruiser only just to say we did not like the 80's style pattern on the canvas around the windows,(I know very picky)

Regards

Blood    Ps this is my first time I have replied on this forum.

thanks blood.

i will have to have another look at the windows.

anyone else any help/comments?

 Does anyone know of a cruiser or sterling for sale?(must be blue/cream interior).

 Otherwise does anyone know where there may be a good deal on new/nearly new?(preferably with awning...)

 cheers

Agree with blood we have the Continental and that does not have sprug beds and like blood we found we have a better nights sleep on them than our bed at home lol. You could look at the continental as it is a Steling minus EHU, frige and wardrobe but still loads of storage space don't think you will find a secondhand one yet as it is new. About £5200 complete with awning.

Jayze,

The opening system is different on both. I think the Cruiser system is better but pennine owners will contradict that statement. I also think the Conway range (made by the same company as Pennine) is a bit better quality. In the end it will be down to your own preferences and budget.

THANKS FOR ALL THE INFO.

AS YOU SAY, IT COMES DOWN TO MONEY IN THE END.

 I ALSO THINK ILL BE HARD PUSHED TO FIND A NEARLY NEW ONE. I MAY HAVE TO SETTLE FOR A 2005 MODEL(ALTHOUGH MISSUS DOESNT LIKE THE YELLOW IN THE CANVAS AS MUCH..AND I GOTTA KEEP HER HAPPY TOO).

THANKS AGAIN.....WILL KEEP LOOKING

Pennine Sterling 510 New JUNE 2003

£5,300 on the pennine owners website

Also a 2001 one but not sure if that year is blue.
