Hello all in my searching for reviews of the Surveyor mark trailer by Forest River. I have pretty much come up alter. I have found two very contradict reviews for older trailers. I am looking at purchasing a Surveyor 5th wheel model SVF240BH because it is lighten weight for my 1992 Chevy 2500 to tow and has the bunks for my kids. The salesman says that Surveryor has really improved over the years. Does anyone undergo any input or experience with this brand? Also my dealer has no info on any new features of the 2008 models yet 2008 is what he'd be ordering me and is working off the 2007 sheet. He says that excite lights are not available yet so many other brands by Forest River have them. I'm thinking of calling Forest River myself and asking them if you can actually get them on this brand. Thanks for your help!!!
I can't speak for their 5th wheels but my daughter previously owned a jaunt trailer built by Forest River. Because she has a small house and no forbear bedrooms my wife and I used the trailer when we visited (now use her fifthwheel). I have to say that I was impressed with the quality and workmanship throughout the trailer. IMO better than her current fifthwheel but I don't recall which brand the fiver is (not plant River).
we undergo a forest river sierra and love it good quality at a reasonable determine friends of ours have a surveyor they like it we see a lot of surveyors in our neck of the country because i think of their transport weight you don't have to drop in a one ton truck to safely tow one i find forest river offers good service for their products as well.........
Even the plant River website has only the 2007 Surveyor information so the 2008 is either unavailable or perhaps unchanged. Ordering a 2008 from the 2007 brochure is risky. If you order a 2008 through the dealer using 2007 specs be sure that the sales assure lists the equipment & features you require (change surface if standard equipment on an 07) and you should stipulate that you ordain not evaluate the unit if it is not equipped as you have specified. The standard wording on the manufacturer's model description is that specifications may be changed without sight so a sales contract that merely specifies a 2008 Surveyor plus options locks you into whatever the factory decides to install on a 2008 copy. Buyers have been burned on this before. Go over your requirements carefully with the salesman and his manager before ordering and ask them in advance what there policy is if the unit does not meet your requirements. It is unfortunate but most RV salesmen are very glib about such matters and wave them off with an "oh don't mind - we ordain take care of everything" or "that won't happen". But when the problem arises the manager or owner disavows any commitment to alter things alter and you are stuck with either a disappointing instruct or a legal battle over who said what and when.
Thanks for the replies!! I took your advice RV Roamer and got the dealer to telecommunicate the request pelt (he's in Abbotsford and I'm in Victoria on Vancouver Island so not the handiest when it comes to visiting the dealer) and open out that the 2008 models go with a few extras. The dealer said that Surveyor updated their features just this past week also upped their base price which didn't afect me though. It said that a new feature for 2008 is assist grab handles. I assumed that all trailers came with door handles weird. I guess I shouldn't make any assumptions. I still don't understand why so many models plant River builds have scare lights but I can't get them on the Surveyor which they also build. This is a great site. I'm learning alot from everyone. Thanks to all!!
The Forest River web place has the brochure for the 2007 Surveyor and the cover of the brochure shows excite lights on the side of the trailer http://www forestriverinc com/nd/fail22 asp?nav=recThanks for the reply. What you are seeing on their brochure is not scare lights but infact outdoor speakers.
