Towing Mirrors

In 2002 I purchased a new Dodge 2500 Diesel with towing mirrors. The text below pertains to the previous truck I had which did not have towing mirrors.

 

I don't have photos for this one.  I tried 2-3 types of the clip on mirrors and none of them worked well.  They vibrated so much I couldn't see anything.  I tried bungee cords, weights, more support, etc to stabilize them and nothing worked.

I kept hearing about McKesh mirrors but I thought they cost too much for mirrors.  One day will browsing at my local RV suppy store, I noticed they had a set for about $120.00. I'm big on safety and also after spending $15,000 to $20,000 on an RV no one should complain about spending a little extra money to make use of that RV safer and more enjoyable.

I bought the mirrors and they are worth every penny.  I can put them on the truck in less than 2 minutes.  They come off quicker than that.  They are very stable.

The mirrors are rectangular and mounted in a horizontal position.  I made an angle bracket and remounted the mirrors in a vertical position.  This gives me a good view of the tires on the Wildcat as well as the traffic behind.

They did not come with the optional convex mirror.  I bought those from a Wal-Mart and installed them myself.
