Anyone pulling a Surveyor 5th wheel?
If you've got one, let me know what your experience is; quality, towing, etc.

Wife and I have a 293 RLTS 5th wheel. After having 3 TT I'll not go back. Pull it with a 2500 HD and it quick and easy to hook up and disconnect. Pulls like a dream, no complcints.

Have pulled to Disney twice (800 miles one way), ready to go again in two weeks. Have pulled to Charleston, SC as well. Pulls like a dream with a GMC Sierra Duramax. Love the camper.

I have a 2015 274BHS pulling it with a Ram 2500 HO diesel. I only use tow mod when driving down step hills. The trailer is really no work for the truck, and even on 10 mph switch backs I am able to keep all the wheels on the inside of the lines.
It tracks behind like a 16 foot utility I use for the sleds and snow-bikes.
I did feel a little sway when we hit some cross winds but not enough worry about.
It is an easy trailer to pull.

We just got a 2015 292RETS and we love it. We are pulling it with a Ford F150 with the 3.5 Ecoboost. It pulls very easy. We brought the trailer home in a 40 MPH head wind and I was able to scoot right along at 65 without even working the engine.
