Mirror issue
OK, I'm more or less looking to hear if anyone has had this issue before and I'll try my best to explain it fully.
I have a 2004 Dodge Ram 3500 Quad Cab with factory tow mirrors - the kind that flip out for tow and then back in for daily driving. Had only had the truck a short while when I picked up my TT (Rockwood Signature Ultra Lite 8329SS) so had not used the mirrors in the tow position, or at least not while towing anything. While setting them up I noticed that, no matter how wide I tried to set the passenger side mirror, I could not see down that side of the TT - at all. All I really can see is the face of the TT. The driver side is perfect and I can see well down that side of the TT but the other side...no. The drive home wasn't bad because my wife had a decent view down the passenger side but it was frustrating not being able to see, basically, at all down the one side. Once home, backing up was a bit of a chore but, again, not all that bad.
Now I'm a short guy so when I lean over to the passenger side I don't get over as far as some others but I can't imagine that a taller person would fare that much better. I also know that I can get extensions for the mirror or replacements but I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem?
The original owner of the TV had a fifth wheel so I would imagine he could see, at least somewhat, but I never met him so I can't ask.
Any thoughts gang? Not just on what to do but, have you experienced this at all?
