Oliver roll-over

Saw this 2025 E2 in a salvage yard. Hoping everyone is ok. Hard to imagine a SOB trailer surviving a roll-over as well is this Oliver did. The Solo Stove in the tongue basket did not fare so well.

Check out the hitch. Either the stock hitch broke during the accident or it was changed prior. Where is this located?

When I did my factory tour before buying my Oliver, they had an Elite II that had flipped and was being repaired.  They told me the owners had towed it to Oliver for the repairs.

When we took delivery of our #1403 Elite in mid June of 2023 there was another Elite inside the gates that had been rolled and it was like looking at an absolute disaster.

It did not disintegrate as a stick built would have but it was bad.  The entire trailer was wrapped up up in plastic.

We were told that the guy had dropped his cell phone and was reaching to retrieve it.

Surprising to hear of 3 of these incidents when they have only made ~1700. Still only a .17% rate but they tow so well. Context on why is helpful, as reaching down for a phone while towing and losing control has very little to do with the trailer.

Even without any details of how this occurred, its clear Olivers are built pretty tough. Interesting to see that it appears that even the windows survived. Any other SOB stick built would likely be just a trailer frame left. 🤔

Our hopes are that no one was injured.

If I remember correctly, the one we heard about on our tour had been side swiped in Texas.  We were told that the owners then towed it to Hohenwald for repairs.
