When to return to lane after passing.
I have towed many different trailers in the past. But, my current trailer seems to be the hardest. When I passed a slower vehicle on interstate, I was not sure if I was cleared and had enough distance...

Given that there are wide and narrow and cuved and flat and ALL SORTS OF ADJUSTMENTS one can make to a mirror, this "see both headlights" strikes me as a recipe for disaster!
Last time I was driving JUST my little pickup truck, I was seeing "both headlights" and it was too soon to even pull JUST my truck back...let alone a trailer behind me.
I'm thinking this is a BAD recommendation- while it may "work for you", it seems way too likely that with someone else's mirror set up they might actually run the trailer into the person in the lane!
(Like others have said, I learned by first being overly cautious as well as looking at shadows when I could.)
