Those in the know, know it's a 13 footer... not 12 and oh my, it's a low rider.

But from the pictures looks pretty clean.

Actually, looking where the wheel-well lines up with the rim, I don't think it looks particularly low for an older Boler. Not saying it's a high-rider or anything, mind you, but not super-low, either.

That's either the original early-70s "Boler green" in really excellent, buffed-up condition, or it's been painted. From what I can see in the photos, it looks like a really nice deal to me, and one of the cleaner early 70's ones I've seen. Now that's from the photos, mind you. That may be a Dometic 3-way fridge, too. I like it

WOW,
$2100 for ANY 13 foot old GLASS EGG that looks intact is a DAMN GOOD PRICE...how anyone could think it's on the high side, should take a little trip into CANADA and see what they go for there...people are paying upwards of 5 and 6,000 for a BOLER.
You could be looking for a $300 to $1,000 unit to show up in some old lady's backyard for the next 40 years...it's not that easy to find the incredible deals. It's hard enough to be first on the list to see one advertised for $3,500...they get snapped up quickly.

that's in nice shape to me for an older trailer..... looking at the picture you can see that the green and the white both have a Great Shine. If i was in Phoenix i would snap that up just because it's a Boler

I'm the first to admit, I know little about Bolers. I'm looking at the bottom of the door and how close it is to the pavement. Course the photo shows the trailer tongue up, based on the belly band. Maybe if it was level, there would be more clearance? Wonder what the hitch height is? I know I couldn't tow it some of the places I go without tearing it up. But, changing an axle isn't expensive in the grand scheme of things and lasts a long time.

Guess I'm just used to seeing a new axle with some of the top of the tire showing

I agree, Donna, it's a little bit low. I guess I just replied because you gave it an "Oh my!" when it looks as though it may be totally usable and fairly typical (and, as you say, a new axle - which wouldn't hurt many older trailers - at well under $500, is actually a smaller expense than many other things, like, say, a paint job).

It was the that got me. The emoticon caused me to emote
