When speed gets passed my comfort I use the brakes to slow back to my speed. Then re engage the tow/haul. That seems to keep the surge brakes from engaging too much, and picking up too much speed. Going up the Ford V10 does a pretty good job. We are at 25,500 and it’s handled the trip well so far.

Great to hear all is well with your trip, and the dolly !
I was able to find a Pre Owned, Acme EZ-TOW dolly a couple of Hours from me for a great price. Hooked it all up to the Motorhome today, centered the strap Ratchets, marked the location for the ramps. Ready to head out on a 4-5 hr. Trip soon.
Have a great trip, be safe ! Watch out for idiots ! Saw a car actually stop on a Interstate Highway to let another vehicle merge !
