Check your pop rivets!
Like most 5ers, the sheet metal abutting the hitch, which forms the underside of the bedroom, is made of sheet metal panels which are screwed and pop riveted in place.
Just happened to look up at the panels last night and noticed half the pop rivets had sheared off. In thinking about it, the rivets are aluminum I think and the metal is constantly flexing during travel so it's not really too surprising. Spent $11. on a pop rivet set and an hour later all was well.
Just for your enlightenment! :)
