For well over 10 years, Cheryl and I had talked about and planned to purchase an RV so we could roadtrip in comfort. Very early on, we’d determined we wanted a medium-sized motor home and zeroed in on something built on a Sprinter chassis. We found the perfect layout in the Navion View 24D.

After a few job changes and other work realignments, we both wound up working remotely. Throw in a global pandemic and the end of air travel for awhile and we decided to pull the trigger and buy what was now a Winnebago View. Of course, a million other people made the same decision. We searched and found a good deal from a dealer in Wixom, Michigan. We placed our order. Then we waited.

In June 2021, fully a year later, our vehicle was ready. We packed the dogs, as much of the motorhome inventory we could fit in the rented car, and headed north from Dallas. Three days later, we’d traded our rental car for a nice, new motorhome. We named her Ramble On Rose.

Fast forward to March 2022 and we’re on the road for our fourth big trip. We’re talking about travel and road trips and Cheryl hits on the idea that we should document our travels. So there, somewhere on an Arkansas interstate, Rode Noise was conceived. Born on the road and about the road, this is the story of our adventures in Ramble On Rose.
