Anyone else tow with standard mirrors?
I have always towed my 102" wide tt without towing mirrors and never had a problem. I even towed for a few years with a narrow ford ranger. Am I one of the few?

Friend of mine got stopped by a cop in Florida (?) and he gave them a ticket because they did not ave tow mirrors on the Lexus SUV pulling their Airstream. Said that if they could not see him behind them then they clearly did not have proper line of sight and needed tow mirrors.
They then bought my strap-ons.
I doubt if anyone here would argue the legality with some cop on the side of the road, especially when it's clearly a safety issue that can only be addressed by mirrors wide enough to see down the side of the RV. This regardless of whether we have towed without incident before. Even I have done it.
As for the real tow mirrors - I would have it no other way, even when not towing. The way I drive I look behind as much as I look ahead, and I love the huge dumbo ears on my truck. Hated the strap ons - size and looks.
