There's some excellent advice in this thread.
I have a Sunseeker with those same seemingly wide mirrors.
I wouldn't touch those mirrors. Only adjust the mirrors with the remote control. Do not swing in or out the arms of the mirrors. They extend out a certain length out from each side for a good reason -for the visibility down the sides of the MH. It takes time to get over the fear of driving a bigger rig. When I started driving the Sunseeker, an experienced MH driver taught me to "steer the wheel to put the gas pedal in the middle of the lane." At first, it didn't feel right but as did this more and more, it became second nature.
Try this: Park in a regular parking space at a Walmart far away from other vehicles. Make sure you're in the middle of the parking space between the lines. Is the gas pedal in the middle? Get out and walk around the MH and make sure you're in the middle of the parking space. Get familiar with what is "middle of your MH." Practice makes perfect.
