Re: [A/S] new trailer & tow mirrors
That's McKesh mirrors, from Hensley Mfg. They're great mirrors; I
have a set. However, both I and my wife take turns driving the rig, and
constantly having to change the mirror settings gets old pretty quick,
although it's not really a lot of trouble. So, I purchased a pair of CIPA
extendable mirrors. They're "OEM," meaning that they replace the mirrors
on your truck and measure 10"X10". The electric features of your current
mirrors work on these mirrors (you order them based on your truck
manufacturer, the year, and either manual, electric, or electric and
heated. We really like them, although they make the Suburban look kinda
like Mickey Mouse, they're so large. They also come with a pair of convex
mirrors, roughly 4"X3", that fit into a corner of the (flat) extendable
mirrors.
If you don't think the camper mirrors from your dealer will do the
job, then just get the basic mirrors, electric or electric and heated, then
buy the aftermarket CIPA ones. The cost to us was around $350, which is
close to what Chevrolet charges additionally for the camper mirrors.
