Hello, we are Shane + Amy
Otherwise known as Shamy to our family and friends. These days we are nomads living and working on the road in our class-C RV, named Ralphie.
About Us
On April 1, 2021 we hit the road as full time RVers and haven’t looked back. Turns out the nomadic lifestyle suits us well. It was a bit of a rough road getting to this point but worth it in the end. We named our RV Ralphie, hence the website name Ralphie Rough Road.

Maine Shamy Style: Moosehead Lake Edition
Where do I begin? We spent just shy of 6 weeks in Maine and it was not enough time. A return trip is already on our radar, probably next summer. Words I would use to describe this gem of a state.
