At least you caught it before anything was damaged. On our first trip with our TT a lady pulled along side and told me I was about to lose our bicycles. I had mounted a bike rack at the rear bumper and the bikes were bouncing off the back of theTT. If she hadn't warned me no telling what I would have torn up. :S
I had the same thing happen. Back around 2003 we bought our first TT- a 1973 18ft. Prowler. I thought I was brilliant when I found one of those 2" receiver attachments and mounted it to the rear bumper of our Prowler. Didn't know that it wasn't a 4" square tube- it was a flat piece of sheet metal bent 3 times and spot welded at the inside bottom edge (and had 30 years to rust!). No one bothered to honk and let me know that the bike rack had twisted the bumper down and that my daughter's bike now had only 1 1/2 wheels! If I hadn't had the window down and finally heard the noise, who knows what damage would have been caused. I have visions of the Griswald's dog leash hanging from the bumper (think National Lampoon's Vacation LOL).
