Default Design Ideas Please

The wife has requested a sign for our motorhome. I ordered a couple of 8 x 12 inch ovals from Heinecke (figured I would scrw the first attempt up!). Here is my initial design idea.

Any other ideas?

Bill,
Looks good , but if the wife requested it , might ask what she wants. Then if she likes it , I think I would consider a brorder to go between the names and the city and state.

If it was me and I was adding it on to a camper I think i would do more of a mountian lake scene , only because I know what I am going in , but thinking more of places I can go .

Bill, Ash has the right ideas.
If your wife doesn't have an opinion on what she'd like then how about along with your RV a desert scene . Keep it simple

Bill- i agree check with the wife to see what she wants.
if she has no preference i would go with your names,and a desert scene.
you will be hanging it on or near the motorhome.

Thanks for the ideas! I did check with the wife on my design, and while not wildly enthusiastic, she did seem to like it.

For some strange reason, I never thought about a desert motif. Guess I could throw in a saguaro cactus or two. My wife took a brief painting class a few years back. One of the assignments was a desert scene. She attempted a sunset with a sagurao, she called it her Jewish candelabra when it was done. Guess it was what one would call a 'stylized' saguaro!

Again, thanks for looking and for the replies!
