[A/S] Extendable towing mirrors; trailer re-furbish



Charlie Burke - nice to meet you at the International at Hunter's GTG...I did order 
the extendable OEM towing mirrors for my '99 Suburban...painful install, since GM 
uses three mounting screws, to be accessed through a triangular hole smaller than 
the triagle that the bolts are set on...however it got done, and we love them.  
Both mirrors are flat, but they come with "Hot Spots," nice large paste-on convex 
mirrors, that work really well.
I have also a set of McKesh mirrors - wonderful mirrors, IMO.  However, Jane and I 
swap off driving duties about every 100 miles, and the McKesh mirrors have to be 
re-adjusted at each change...a real pain.  Anyhow, we are very happy with the new 
mirrors, although they are so big they make the 'Burb look something like Mickey 
Mouse.
We're in  Louisville, KY, right now, while Arlene Fowler (over near Padukah) is 
re-furbishing the interior of our '95 Airstream - new carpet, new uphostlery for 
the couch, chair,  and soffits, new drapes, and mini-blinds to replace the 
un-reliable pull-down shades.  I have "before" pictures, and will make "after" ones 
for my web site as soon as I can.
