A very old stray {The Old Fella Story}

Dale, I hope you have a safe trip to Indiana. We had a great time this weekend at the new RV resort. The place is kind of in the middle of no where and we took back roads to get there. It was such a pleasant drive with not having to deal with the interstate highways around here. I don't think you can go more than about 20 miles in any direction without road construction on I75 or I4. The only issue I had was a very rough railroad crossing. I was on a county road and had already gone across a few railroad crossing (got stopped one time by a train). I was approaching one crossing and when I got close, I noticed there was quite a bit of rise on the tracks. The speed limit was 55 mile an hour. There wasn't any signs indication a rough or raised track. This is a road I had never traveled before. I slowed down to about 40mph and when I got close, I realized I had made a mistake. I hit the brakes and when I hit those tracks I swear the motorhome got airborne! I heard a bunch of crashing sounds behind me. It really freaked me out. There was nowhere to pull over (two lane road with no shoulder) so I continued on. Motorhome was driving fine so drove another 20-30 minutes until we got to the resort. Once setup, I looked underneath the motorhome at the suspension and didn't see anything broken. The crashing sound I heard behind us was the cabinets in the bathroom that had come open. Our master bathroom is in the back of the motorhome and when I hit those tracks, all the cabinets opened and everything came out onto the floor. Was a big mess. I sure hope I didn't damage or weaken anything in the suspension of the motorhome. On the way home, every time I saw a RR crossing I slowed WAY down. I won't make that mistake again!
