Thinking about buying a 2016 FR Surveyor 265 RLDS anybody else have one or any opinions?

Thanks Dan-o

Don't know about this model, but we have had two Surveyor TT's and have enjoyed them both.

I also don't know about that model but I had a 2012 Surveyor 264 and loved it. Not a single problem with it. Alas, I got tired of the hooking/unhooking and traded it in on a motorhome. My nephew often tells me he wishes he had bought it from me. Good luck with your decision!

I'll echo what has been said, our 264 has been very good would recommend Surveyor.

Thanks for the feed back we just sold our 2004 trail curser 27rks so now on to a newer TT.

Just bought a 265rlds. Had water leak on first trip out. Top right side where the fiberglass front meets the roof. Looked like it had been caulked by a five year old. Brand new trailer. I guess quality control cost too much these days. Thanks to 35 years of boat ownership, I look for leaks constantly.

Bought a 265RLDS this past summer. Only major problem was the TV falling loose. Make sure you have a safety strap installed. Mine did not have one, and the TV fell off the second time I used the RV. Had to replace the TV, mount, and cables. Thankfully, my dealer covered it all.

We just purchased a 266RLDS Surveyor (very similar to the 265) and love it! We have camped in it one time since we bought it 3 weeks ago, but plan on camping Christmas week. Very easy to set up, and it is much roomier than our previous 24 ft. camper. We just bought an folding/storage ottoman for the comfy chairs on the end - works great and folds for easy storage. The lighting is softer (not as harsh) and couch/chairs are more comfortabe! No issues so far......

I too just bought a 266 rlds , I hope it's better than the heartland I traded in

We just traded in a Coleman 270rls for a FR Surveyor 32rlts on Halloween. We ended up storing it for the winter where we bought it. We can't wait until spring to pick it up.

I don't have a Surveyor 265 RLDS but have a Surveyor SVF293 5th wheel and like it very much. We've traveled from Michigan to Florida twice and countless trips around Michigan and Indiana. In 2016 we expect to live in it for 8 months and can't wait for it to start in late January when we leave for Florida. Yes, I've had my share of problems but they have all been taken care of and would buy another one.

Thank you for the feedback, My wife and I pulled 265 Surveyor TT 2500 miles from Wisconsin to Georgia back up through the Smokey's with no problems, however we did have small list of things to fix and the selling dealer in Wisconsin took care of these issues the week we got back. Very happy with the layout and the way the TT pulled with the 2014 1500 Chevy Silverado, Wife even took turns driving and was very pleased the towing experience. We are glad we added the electric fireplace and used it the majority of the time to heat with.

Dano... Been looking at the same TT, but the only hang up is you have to walk through the bathroom to the bedroom or kitchen !
That seems to be a problem with my partner. No other solutions in this size that I can find and still keep the rear living area.

[Robbsails]

Also, what rear end does four Silverado have?

[Dan-O]

Our first trip was two weeks and we love the setup. Because of the walk through bath you get a lot of space to work with. Also there is a door on both sides do the bath for privacy. If I needed more privacy I would us the restroom at the camp and as backup I had the trailer built with a Fantasic Fan in the bath. Our thoughts are the TT has a great living space nice kitchen space and a oversized bath/shower. We are headed for a eight week trip the first of Febuary and I will report how the two of us do for the two month period.

Ps the Silverado has a 3.42 real axle and is a 4x4.

We have a 2015 265rlds and we love it lots of storage.

[Robbsails]

My Silverado's max out at 7,000 lbs.
I recently installed a computer chip and hopefully it will help towing a dry weight of 5,998 lbs. a little hesitant on moving up to the 265RLDS Travel trailer.
