Spare Tire Mount Damage

A couple of times, I have lost the G rated spare tire when backing into a raised campsite with my 2011 3750FL that has the tire cable and tee in the back underneath the trailer. Well, on our current trip to New England states (specifically happened in NY), I was leaving a parking lot that was lower than the road. The back of the trailer dropped with the elevation difference. Not only did it drop the tire, the tire rack system is bent to the point where the gearing won't even turn the cable up or down.

The spare tire hangs very low on all these models. Has anyone else had this problem of the tire coming loose from the cable and tee mount? What has been your solutions? I don't want to add a tire rack to the back of the trailer, and of course there is no bumper. Currently hauling the spare in the truck bed, taking up more room.
