    The back of the fifth wheel ramp is bent down a little but I’m not sure if it was me, it’s bent downward. If I did do it how does that kind of thing happen because I know I didn’t hit anything that day

    only way I can think of if something was wedged under the fifth wheel preventing it from moving as you where going over a hump or a dip.

    that’s only if I’m understanding your description correctly.

    Send pics to your mechanic because it’s sounds like your fifth wheel is loose and twisting more than being bent.. unless your talking about the fifth wheel ramps I can’t see it bending .
