Hi Copierman, welcome to UKCS.

We used to have a Nimrod NR, about 14 years ago.  From what I can remember, the shelf thingy at the end of the main bed area was to extend the bed.  The main bed officially sleeps four people - very friendly!!!

The cushions were basically foam with a cover on them, so if your sewing is up to it, it shouldn't be too hard to make them up yourself, or find someone to do it for you.  I seem to remember the curtains just threaded onto a line, like a net curtain, so again pretty easy to knock something out on a sewing machine if you're that way inclined.  (By the way, I'm full of good ideas, but hopeless at anything like that).

We never bothered to use the sink, it was too small to fit a plate in, and we always stayed on sites where they had washing up facilities.  I always take a washing up bowl camping anyway so if there's a queue I just put the bowl on the camp table and do the washing up there.

Sorry, can't help with the jockey wheel question.

We loved our Nimrod NR and were very sad to see it go, but we moved house and didn't have anywhere to store it.  I hope you get yours up and running and have many years of enjoyment from it.  I still maintain it is the best designed trailer tent for layout and facilities.
