We where traveling on 95 south headed for South Carolina from Massachusetts I think it was in Virginia when a 2x8 was rolling down the Highway had metal ends on it looked liked a part of a ramp system. With vehicles on both side of me I had no choice but to hit it, so I prayed as I ran it over partly with front right tire and partly under the chassis. I was lucky though-- there was no damage to tire or oil pan and under carriage. Whew was I lucky-- must have it while it was Flat on the Road The RV was only a month old at the time, Thank you God.
Thank God indeed! We had a similar experience last Spring. Going down I-15 through Las Vegas at 60mph. Freeway very busy, no where to go. The truck in front of us dropped a 4' rubbermaid garbage can. All we could do was keep calm, pray and hit it head-on. It got stuck underneath and we had to drag it for about 2 miles until we could get off the freeway and pull over. We had to raise-her up with the jacks to get it out. Luckily there was no damage to the front fiberglass or underneath, the front axle stopped it. We were glad it didn't come out and hit another car or motorcycle. That was a lucky day for us and the others on the road.
