Is there anything better than shopping!!!

What a fun weekend B and I had.  We pissed off the dogs by putting them in the kennel but who can seriously shop worrying about the pups.  So we escaped and drove up to Wilsonville and went to Camping World.  What a great place to pick up essential stuff and not so essential stuff.  We even found some new rules to guide us.  

After all that excitement we had to go check into the hotel and count our coins before we tackled the Woodburn Factory Stores.  We scored some really good stuff there.  So our next trip is planned in about 2 weeks and we will get an update here as soon as possible.

So one of the things I was surprised to hear was that we probably should really have something called a voltage regulator.  Well being a guru of all things electrical I carefully nodded my head and said sure  NOT!!!  Who knew there was more to getting electricity to our happy home. Turns out if the amount and strength of the electricity that goes from the power thingy majig that you plug the trailer into fluxuates too much you are in danger of burning up handy little appliances like the frig, air conditioning, the converter or the microwave.  Well we might not have any trouble replacing a couple of hundred dollar miker but the other stuff gets pretty spendy. Considering many of the places to park your RV on the Alaskan Highway have the power generated by local generators and we are really unlucky at gambling;  Needless to say we are proud owner of a brand spanking new voltage regulator.
