The Old Saying....

..."One Man's Trash is Another Man's Treasure"...well that applies to some of the things you may find at Northwest RV Supply in Eugene, Oregon.
We went in search of a "steering wheel table top"...you know, something to put on top of the steering wheel so you have like a little "end table" setting. Some of those other places will sell you a plastic or compressed wood product for a little over $50. I have a hard time paying that type of money for "a piece of junk furniture" ...so we ended up at Northwest RV Supply which is located off of Exit 189 of Interstate-5 in Eugene, Oregon.
This is a place that you have to go in with a very open mind. You cannot go in looking for only one specific item-and view the things you see as only what they were meant to be.
A great example of this is this piece of Corian® counter top. The Corian® piece shown here actually matches our Corian® in our Diplomat motorhome - except for the edge...as seen in the second photo. The
great thing about this piece is that it has a curved edge with a lip on it...which fits perfectly over the large steering wheel that is in our rig.
I was able to take it and place it on top of the steering wheel. I then put a tablecloth over the piece of Corian® and I now have a very cozy looking table that holds a small lamp. The lamp is set up to come on automatically at night. We now don't have to walk into a dark RV at night!
I can also tell you that you will have fun dealing with Joe Cioli, the owner of Northwest RV Supply. You can tell he enjoys doing what he does as much as he enjoys dealing with his customers. They will try and help you find what you are looking for...along with ordering some new items that he has access to...all at a very reasonable price. This is one of those fun places that if you own an RV and are in the area...you should stop just to wander through. you may not think you need something...until you walk down an aisle and see it. You can still call them even if you aren't in the area. They ship all over the US and Canada and they have a toll free phone number...so bookmark their web page and keep it handy...you never know what you might need!

WOW...Where has the Time Gone...

I cannot believe it has been over a month since my last update! (Yikes!!...and my apologies to Kev for giving him "shit" for his long absences)

So many things to talk about that mean very little to most of you..but that may mean a lot to others...so instead...I will just touch on a few minor things!

I still love where I work...although they do have a few changes to make in order for the dealership to work at it's optimum. The GM is young but knowledgeable...and I trust he will find the best way to handle the changes that need to be made.

I still love the RV Park where I am staying! The staff is friendly...the 'monthly residents' are friendly and although we keep to ourselves..we all look out for each other...even though there seems to be no reason to!

I still miss the group of people I worked with out in Woodland, Ca. (sorry guys...but I am not going to give you free advertisement!) Paul, Eddie, Robbie, Russ, Art, Steve, Stephen...I can go on and on with the sales staff...not to mention, Monica, Christina, Lupe, Sal, Patrick, Nick, Bobby, Mike, Bill and some others in the office, parts and service departments...

I can tell you that I am still in love...Oregon...my dogs...and of course...my man (ok..I don't own him..but I like to think he could be mine!)...but as you can tell..this has a theme of some of the things I love...but this obviously I have not listed everything...so maybe you could be part of something I love...What do you think??
