Just playing devils advocate here, any chance that maybe a lawn maintenance guy could have run into it with a mower/ztr at the campground. I say that because I did it to my own trailer.

I'm going to got with the "devil's advocate" theory based on my law enforcement career. If you look at the damage, it looks to be totally on the lower rolled panel and a scrape approximately 18" in length. Now, looking at the "suspected trailer", the sides are very vertical. There is no surface to reach under your TT. Nothing is sticking out other than the square tube rear bumper. That makes me believe that the upper side of your camper would also have to been damaged as-well-as your slide in close proximity. A square bumper would leave a flat imprint and would have to be at a much sharper angle causing a deeper gouge. Whatever damaged your TT likely was lower and rounded. Is there any scuffing on your bumper end cap?
We had our class C in storage parked on gravel. We noticed a dimple on the corner of our front bumper. The C bumper is chrome and there was no paint transfer. It could match up to the 5er square bumper that was moved in after we had ours in storage. In our minds, it was the cause. However, it would be very difficult to prove because the grade in the surround area could change the TT bumper height depending on the angle of the TV on the grade. We happened to be talking with the storage space owner when we noticed the damage, so he is now aware. We chose not to confront the the 5er owner. We don't want bad blood when there is any doubt.
Now, the guy that took out our mail box and our neighbors mail box was another matter. Not only did he leave his truck debris including the year of his Ford pickup for a good part of a block, but he left his front license plate as a calling card. BUSTED!!!
