Westy,
We've had a couple of these break.
We have just called into an accessory shop both times and found them on the display.
However, given your location I 'spose accessory shops aren't really thick on the ground..........

Hi there,
Both of ours broke in the last three months and despite attempts with Araldite and other adhesives they have remained broken!
Thanks for the information.
We are now going to try and find some yoghurt pots that fit!

Re: black rubber cap in floor where table leg is
I've found that the best solution (courtesy of my Dad) is the cap off a spray paint can. His solution is to cover the top with a circle of carpet which matches that already in the van. He then makes two tiny holes the right distance apart, presses a staple partway into the two holes and bends the ends over inside. The staple can then be pushed down flush with the carpet ready for use.
When in place they sit just below the level of the aluminium, so nothing snags on them. When they need removing, simply pull up the staple with your fingernail and you can then use it as a tiny little handle to lift the cap out.

Allthough I'can't seem to find the on their website, they do sell them as I bought one myself when I called in one day.
Suggest you give them a ring I'm sure they could pop a couple in the post.

You beat me to it Zozzer. Also Agent Fiamma.
In addition dont forget Aut Sleepers Parts Dept, as these were used for quite a few years on different models they may well still have them

Hi,
I would just like to echo Mojo's solution, as I too having been using a cap from a spray can without the carpet and it works quite well. I will now consider adding the carpet to finish it off.

On a slightly different theme
but relating to the table post above the plug, I have a tripod that the table pole goes into, can you get a shorter pole than 700 cm so that I can use the tripod in the van and move the table away from the doorway.
Sorry to be slightly off topic here.
Best regards, Mike

Yes you can get a shorter leg, I think they are 60cm so you use the table at normal height. They are quite hard to find though. They occasionally come up on Ebay.

Quite a few of the spare part retailers at the motorhome shows sell the shorter table legs. Roll on the summer.

Re: black rubber cap in floor where table leg is
Thanks for that both, will have a look on Ebay, could cut one down but the ends are swaged.
I bet my son could turn one down is aluminium.
