Is this normal?
Just brought this beauty home. She's a 1969 Boler. I'm looking over it and getting it ready for some serious camping. I noticed the bottom left of the camper looks a bit strange to me. Is this something that should be of concern?

lf you mean the curbside, then yes it is normal.
The fiberglass goes further down on that side due to the floor being lower to accommodate a person standing inside.
Open the door and look the the floor you will see what I mean.

You will probably also notice the clearances around the tires and wheel arches are asymmetrical left to right, and for the same reason.

These guys know a lot more about Bolers than I do... so maybe this is not a good comparison, but in a 2015 Scamp (based on Boler) I noted the following:
Height to top of wheel well:
Port = 25 1/8 and Starboard = 23 3/8
Clearance between top of tire and wheel well:
Port = 4 1/4 and Starboard = 3 3/4
(All measurements in inches)
Looks like a sweet camper you scored there... nice work!

Hi: JrossB... At 48 yrs. old even I looked a little strange!!! More sag on the front than the back.
There's a fridge/icebox and stove on one side and as others have said the floor is lowered for head room. One good thing is that all parts for your cutie are still available.
Here's a pic or 2 of our former 1977 Boler. I reupholstered with Scamp covers.
