Intech terra oasis...take a look

The aluminum cabin frame looks really fragile to me with all those huge window openings and no diagonal bracing, anywhere.

Any idea on what the cabinets and inside walls are made of, and how they are attached?

JD, I saw this yesterday - somewhere on the  net - I  spent time trying to ascertain the construction methods - the companies web site is not real informative. Didn't have any solar options, well really any options I could see.

I would guess the exterior and interior skins provide the shear strength fore/aft, and such. Must be using  glue/adhesive to attach the panels. I would also guess the interior parts are secured into the aluminum frame.

It is an visually appealing thing.

It is prewired for solar. I would like to crawl around under one for a while, the main frame looks slapped together and less “finished”, not sweetly engineered like an Ollie. Lots of open tubes for dirt and moisture to collect.

I know this is an old thread but found this interesting insight on their build quality. That fact the trailer held together so well says a lot. That fact it was caused by sway is interesting given I have never heard an Oliver owner say they have ever had a sway issue (but who know how they were loaded out and it was a smaller 1/2 ton truck). 

Everyone was ok after this which is great. They did have a WDH and engaged their brake controller. Just wanted to share to show the build quality of how it held together. Since it was quationed how stable the frame would really be.

It does look like the trailer held together well.  The welded aluminum frame helps, I’m sure.  They must attach the exterior and interior fairly securely.  Was there any information about what caused the roll over besides sway?  Mike

Yes. I chatted with her for a little bit. They were headed down a hill in CO going about 55 and they were passed ( in same direction) by a semi and that triggered the sway. I was surprised the brake controller did not correct it. Not sure what the gain was set at or last time it was checked.

Yikes! That would definitely ruin your day... I wonder if there's any way to analyze that action in a simulator, and/or practice how to correct for the effects of this scenario?

Fast reflexes and manual trailer brake control would be your only chance for mitigation. This sure makes a good case for the expense of a Hensley / ProPride hitch.

I had a similar experience involving a passing tour bus doing probably 85-90 down a hill near Park City UT.  It was only a twinge of sway for the LEII but enough to get my attention.

I'm really glad everyone was ok.

Pretty surprising that both trailer and TV flipped, going only 55 mph.

💯 Agree, something was definitely not right with this rig in this accident.

It’s interesting to compare the frame and plumbing to an Ollie, no steel subframe, for example, and a lot less aluminum.
