More Name Game
It all started with being hooked on the zany, nutty, out-of-this-world musical “Little Shop of Horrors,” with its protagonist and a plant, Audrey and Seymour. Suddenly, Seymour morphed from there to a name that would express our desire to see more of our wonderful country: SeeMoor. Get it? To See, as in look, and Moor, as in see a lot more. Unfortunately, when applying for our license plate, we learned that the name SeeMore was taken, so we opted to spell “more‚ as Moor.
Our son, a concept artist in the gaming industry, took it from there. He incorporated eyes into the design decal: my wife’s blue eyes as the “ee,” complete with eyelashes, and my brown eyes into the “oo,” complete with eyebrows. The M represents the snowcapped Rocky Mountains of Colorado (our home at the time). Hence, our beloved RV is named SeeMoor and proudly displays its name with 30-inch-high decals on three sides and even a vanity license plate.
We enjoy having a name for our motorhome. It makes it so easy and so much more fun to refer to a name, as we enjoy the ease and comfort with which we travel and SeeMoor!

Throughout my life, strangers hearing my last name for the first time hear it as “Crow.” With that in mind, we have named our comfy motorhome our “Krollsnest.”

In 2016 I bought a Fleetwood Storm. The first time I took it out was to a NASCAR race in Charlotte, North Carolina. It rained so much during the week that I almost couldn’t get the motorhome out of the field where I was parked with friends. Two weeks later, I decided to take it to a lake campground about an hour away from home. Again, it rained the whole weekend. The next month I joined my brother and some friends for a week of camping. While it rained the first few days, it finally let up and we had a great time. When I got back home in South Carolina, I told my daughter that I had named the camper “Stormy.” Well, she got out her Cricut smart cutting machine and made a big brown “Y‚” to go on the end of the Storm logo on the side of the motorhome. And now when people ask about the “Stormy” logo, I tell them how she got her name. I’ve had many great camping experiences in Stormy since, and hopefully many more to come.

Big Thanks
In July of this past summer, while I was staying in an RV park just north of Salt Lake City, Utah, one of my RV air conditioners failed due to a refrigerant leak. I contacted several RV dealerships to have the air conditioner evaluated and replaced if necessary. Sorry, they told me, we are booked for months.
So, I was able to contact Brandon at AHzi’s Mobile RV Repair, (801) 604-5114, and he indicated that if I could find an air conditioner, he would replace the defective unit. But, he warned me, air conditioners are in short supply.
Fortunately, I found a replacement. The next trick would be getting warranty reimbursement, as the defective air conditioner was only 16 months old. The manufacturer of the air conditioner refused to honor the warranty, as I did not take the RV to a dealer for the repair.
I contacted customer service at Grand Design, the manufacturer of my RV. After a few back-and-forth e-mails, the Grand Design rep convinced the air conditioner manufacturer to honor the warranty if the mobile technician would complete the diagnostic form, which he did.
Grand Design customer service people went over and above their responsibility in working to help me gain a warranty reimbursement on an appliance they had no responsibility for. My thanks are extended to Susan Bond at Grand Design Recreational Vehicles for her kind assistance. That was true customer assistance.
