Carol,

This will depend on the size of the camper. According to a PDF of the Boler Manual from 1979, the trailers themselves ranged from 13'2" to 17'2".

You would have to measure the table to determine the exact size.

Thank you for catching that Tom. It was overlooked in the initial edit.

Sandor Dusa, the fiberglass molder who built the molds for both Olecko's septic tank and the Boler, is a man.

You are correct in that the hat was never spelled "boler". However, the camping trailer was named after the hat because the shape of it reminded the creator of the Boler camper of a Bowler hat; he just changed the spelling to reflect his own brand.

Strange that you say it was named after the hat. If that were the case, why is it spelled differently from a Bowler Hat, which has never been spelled 'boler'?

Debi - The best thing to do is to contact your insurance company and find out how much you can insure it for. I speak from experience, having purchased an old Airstream to remodel and sinking a lot of money into it. It melted in a housefire, and I lost quite a bit of money because I put more money into it that it could be insured for.

I have the chance to purchase a 13 ft Boler, year is around 1973, anyone have any idea what this would be worth. No toiler, no heater, no fridge, sink and stove only, with I've been told a whole in the wall that we can place a cooler that runs off a car battery? Please help me with this.

Thankyou

Bolers were actually made right up to 1987. We have an 1987 and recently sold our 1986 refurbished one. I have see a 1988 Trailer that the people claimed was a Boler but the tag that proves year of production and location had been removed. That's your proof. the tag is located on the opposite side of door (back) near the water outlet. So as you can see Bolers were still made long after 1973. Each and every Boler was different and there were options available. It's unusual to find a Boler that looks exactly like another. But they are awesome little homes to pull around. We are on our 4th, and loving it. Madison

Allison -Locating a Boler can be quite tricky, as there's not a central website for Boler owners. Any used or vintage RV publication or website could have a Boler listed at any point in time. If course, you may check for periods of time and not find anything. The key to finding a Boler for sale is to check a variety of resources frequently, until you find what you want within a distance you're willing to drive.
