Left Mirror:
Unless y'all have completely different mirrors, Velvac mirrors have been side specific for at least the last 10 years and possibly longer.
When I originally got my Lazy Daze, it came with Velvac mirrors that used their "standard" head. These heads have a single flat mirror with a small convex mirror stuck on the lower inside corner. Those heads mounted on the arms very near the middle of the bottom of the head. I soon replaced those heads with Velvac "deluxe" heads which have separate, adjustable flat and convex mirrors. These heads have an offset mounting post. At the time I got these, there appeared to be four different arms available. Different length arms for the standard head for 96" or 102" wide bodies and arms for the the deluxe heads for 96" or 102" wide bodies. The arms for the standard head were slightly longer than arms for the deluxe head (to compensate for the middle vs. offset head post). To keep the new mirrors from extending too far out past the body, I intentionally mounted the deluxe head on the "wrong" sides. Because my coach is 99" wide, and using the arms for standard head, they end up just right.
