We may get a small/medium sized travel trailer (Under 8K loaded). What models pull pretty smooth up to 65-70 MPH without fishtailing? I am looking for something drama free on the road. Thanks.
 
All trailers are going to be very similar. There will be two key considerations.

1. Making sure you have enough truck to tow it. Not just in terms of towing capacity but also payload, which is going to be your limiting factor.

2. Making sure the trailer is loaded properly with the tongue weight at 10-15% of the total trailer weight.

A good weight distributing hitch with sway control will also help. Get a reputable hitch shop to set it up properly for you when your truck and trailer are loaded up as if for a camping trip. Don't trust an RV dealer to set it up for you.
