Surveyor 305

We brought home our new Surveyor SV-305 yesterday. We had a great PDI and an excellent shakedown camp on our way home. And, my Toyota Tundra pulled it like a champ, but it did get thirsty.

I honestly cannot find anything wrong but 3 stripped screws. After reading the forums closely for a couple months, I think I know what to look for, but haven't found anything yet. I don't know if that's good or bad.

Here's a photo... I look forward to all your advice from now to eternity. :-)

Thanks! We are headed out again today. Love everything about it, except my truck's gas mileage.

We have a similar model - Hemisphere 312QBUD and love it as well.
The 305 was on our list. It's a beautiful camper.

Nice camper and truck

I have the Surveyor SV-294BH and a 2010 Tundra Limited. I know what you mean about the gas. I used to pull my trailer with a 2005 Pathfinder. It was a little scary, hence, the Tundra. I had to buy premium gas for the Pathfinder. Since I no longer have to buy premium gas, I feel as though I am breaking even with the poor gas milage. You want a big trailer, you have to get a big truck. It is a good truck and, at least, will last a long time!

I'm looking at one of these models - the Hemisphere 312QBUD, the Surveyor SV305 and the Heritage Glen 312QBUD.

How do you like your Hemisphere? Did you get the ones with the two tone cabinets and solid surface counters?

Any insight as to how you;re feeling about it would be appreciated... Ditto goes for the SV305 owners out there!

We got ours with the Soapstone interior. Helps keep dirt from showing. I had the Salem T-BUD 26 before and I have to say the 312QBUD, although almost 7 feet longer, tows better than the TBUD. I love the floor plan and the outside kitchen is awesome.
