Even with no grey water tank, the rear-bath droop can occur when the owners
were in the habit of loading up the bathtub with heavy items when
traveling... same effect - the rear frame members can fracture/separate, and
the tail will droop, there will be some 'bulging' of the skin at the bottom
sides aft of the wheel-well, and the bumper will move as you've described.
The frame-buttressing is essential, and the rear-floor may have been damaged
due to the extra flexing, and water seepage into the sub-floor... You'll
have a much stronger and long-lasting trailer when you're done - Good Luck!
