Re: [A/S] Trailoring mirrors

["John P Sargeant" <john.sargeant@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I thought most major light truck manufacturers made a trailering mirror that 
"pulls out" when you've got the A/S on, and pushes back in when you don't.
Short of that, I don't personally believe that most after market extension 
mirrors give near enough visability. If you look at any semi bailing down 
the interstate, you will see LARGE  mirrors that enable the driver to see 
down both sides of his trailer and out to the sides thereof. It ustawas that 
light trucks could be purchased with "west coast style" mirrors. They are 
like the semi's mirror but scaled to fit the light truck. I considered 
putting them on the Suburban but opted for the McKesh mirror, which is 
probably the best compromise. Any respectible RV dealer can supply McKesh. 
They are easily removable and lock into position so that , if handled with 
reasonable care, when removed, can be put back on in the same configuration 
and will not need adjusting. "Yes dear, please get out in the rain and 
adjust my mirrors. No you don't need a mallet"
Suggest you have a look at McKesh mirrors. It's what most Airstreamers use 
that don't have the manufacturer's light truck mirror made for towing.
Here's  looking back at you
