Hello, I have a Scamp 13foot which hasn't made it out of my driveway as yet, but with tons of practice hopefully soon. My question is where do I go and what do I request for mirror extensions? I have a 2008 Honda Element and the rear view mirror is no longer helpful and the existing mirrors don't make me feel safe.
Thanks to anyone who might have a suggestion.
The least expensive are mirrors that strap onto your existing mirrors. They are convex mirrors that give a wider angle view and work well (although a caution as with any convex mirror...objects in the mirror are closer than they appear). Your existing mirrors are still useable. Cost is about $11.00 each upward to approximately $30.00 and usually available at any camping stores, RV dealers, Walmart, catalogs and online.
The absolute best are McKesh mirrors at about $150.00 plus or minus. They are fully adjustable, will fit almost any vehicle and available online at WWW.McKesh.com . Your existing mirrors are still useable.
I have both and use both on different occasions.

Here is an excerpt about mirrors from a posting titled "Training for Backing Up a Trailer"
Have the proper Mirrors; If you can't fully see along BOTH sides of the trailer and where the trailer tires meet the pavement (on BOTH sides) you need better mirrors. There are "clip-on" mirror extensions that are not too expensive or, you may need to purchase a pair of "towing" mirrors for your TV. In either case you need to be able to fully see the sides of your trailer and the traffic behind you.
