Thank you for the warm welcome.
avalen - I'm in Oregon, near Portland. I'll be on the map woohoo!
BirdbyBird - I know I couldn't believe the RV store prices. It's like they slap the RV label on it and raise the price by 50% LOL. Fortunately my work helps me in this - I'm a hot deals editor for an online shopping website and I'm happy to have an excuse to shop more now! Right now my challenge is finding a stove cover at a reasonable price - that is proving tougher than I imagined. Usually I have no trouble finding a deal on something, but this... It's so specialized. We have the two-burner stove so it's not the size for the 'universal' ones. I guess I will wait until the Flying Monkey Mobile gets here and measure to order a cutting board that works.
gingerK - Thrift stores, what a great idea!
