My guess would be that's not normal. Have you noticed any buckling of the cladding anywhere?
You said you measured to the bottom of the bumper. Maybe try measuring to the frame. It's quite possible it's only the bumper that has been snagged on something before you got it. Also, measure the ground very carefully. Over the length of a travel trailer it's easy to have a 2" variance in the ground level from the axles to the rear of the trailer, side to side.
An easy way to measure levels accurately is with a water level.

Get some clear plastic hose that will jam fit in the end of a garden hose. Cut the clear hose into two lengths and jam one in each end of the garden hose. Next fill the hose up with enough water that the water level is visible in both the clear hoses. Take one end of the hose to a reference point and the other end to the point you want to check. Lift or lower the ends of the hose (takes two people to do this) such that the water is visible in both clear sections. Measure the distance from the ground to the water level in the clear hose at both ends. This will tell you the relative levels of the two ends.
