Towing Mirrors

Picking up new travel trailer this week and my truck does not have extended mirrors. What is the mirror of choice to use when towing travel trailers?

  • Factory tow mirrors are the best but also costly so I instead bought a set of CIPA mirrors for my recently acquired 2012 Silverado. I find they work quite well, no vibration whatsoever, and I can see fine around my 8' wide Coachmen. Cost was but a fraction of factory tow mirrors and electric function of the stock truck mirrors isn't impacted at all. :B



  • If there's a factory version for your tow vehicle I'd try to find a set you can install. I've never seen an add on mirror that works as well as a factory setup.
  • I like my Cipa slip on mirrors sold by CW and others. Easy on and off. However, my Winnie is 7.5 feet wide. With an eight foot TT you might not get an adequate view.
