Hi Duane A,
I can't say I've seen an ezylift table leg and base,
A couple of years ago, we bought our old Swan, which had no table at the lounge end, a young family, 3 kids, we had to have a table.
I purchased from Caravans plus a Wineglass Style Table Leg, Compact, BEIGE
When tightened it is really stable, when loose it is really wobbly. This maybe of some help.
Also contact them, they may have what you are after.
Cheers

Yeah they do have to be done up tight, as you could imagine with kids, they learn all over it as if i was a work bench, so we do ours up real tight.
Is it the clamp( black plastic knob/wheel) at the base or top that doesn't tighten up enough on the pole/shaft that allows the movement? Maybe the Split in either end needs a cut a little wider, to pull it tighter or maybe the thread is stripped and a wing nut or something else used.
Or is it the base that fixes to the floor that is allowing the movement? sometimes the screws can work their way loose. Is the top plate of the table top assembly fixed to the table top properly?
Hope this is of some help.

Jon

No its that poxy set they have to tighten them its just a cheap and nasty bit of kit .ill go with a marine style one they look stronger .Ive just got to make sure the bottom section is below the table height when we use it as a bed .Cheers mate .

We ditched ours in both the vans that had them.

In the Roadstar we bought a folding picnic table and used that.

In the Coromal we had a cupboard made that sat on the mudguard roll and a Fiammi leg that bolted to the floor at the outer end and screwed it down and it was completely stable.

Leg was about $100
This would only work on a cafe style seating.
Wouldnt work with a setup with couch along the wall .

The wineglass stand is the most useless thing imagineable.

You could just put a piece of MDF against the wall and a brace across the top to fix the table to

Have seen that done and would be cheaper

Thanks for your reply mate .The only thing with us is we still use it as a bed for my daughter when she comes with us which is thinning ot now but ill keep it that way .Ive found a marine one which is alot more robust and should do the job.
