How to see behind me?

New TT owner. I've had it out 3 times and learn something new each time for sure.

My biggest concern at the moment is actually seeing what is behind me while on the road. I'm good at using side mirrors, but the typical truck mirrors don't get behind the trailer. Do I need to get the mirror extensions? They seem so far "out there" width wise that they look like they would have their own zipcode. Is there a camera I can put, say in the back trailer window, that would allow me to view in the truck cab while I'm driving? I'm honestly not too concerned with seeing while backing up. I'm trying to be a considerate road neighbor and if there are cars behind me - pariticularly on state roads etc., I will pull off and let them go past. Thanks for any help!

1. Seeing what is behind me is NOT a primary concern with the exception of making turns and when passing other cars/trucks. If I am driving on a freeway and doing at least 55 mph, I don't worry about cars behind me.
2. buy some expensive permanent mirrors for your truck that can extend when you are towing. Do not use those cheap mirrors that strap onto your regular mirrors.
3. When driving on the freeway you can just move your steering wheel to the right and then left causing the rear of the trailer to move just enough for you to see behind your trailer for a few seconds.
