If you have trouble with the supplier, go direct to the designer Fran, he is on this forum. I am shure I, sorry he would be able to supply a purple one. The only rule is, they can't be supplied or fitted when it is "be nice to wombat week" but that won't be for a very long time now as it was that week last week.

great unit Fran, in regards to the rocking, have a look under the chair and find the maker and ask them for the wedge's that stop it rocking, that's what I did with our lounge room ones, the wedge just screws in to stop the rocking, Mrs W has her's rocking I can get to sleep without rocking.

 if you cannot find or get any just go to a wood yard and tell them what you need and they will give you some off cuts, cos that is all they are really just a wedge, like a door stop but wooden so you can put a screw into it.

 yes i am excited, exhausted too, lots of things to still learn about the MH,  I've practiced reversing her, she's so light, the big mirrors help ., i would really love to head west mid August, my son lives in Perth haven't seen him for a while, still trying to map out my free camps..
