Mirrors
are what works best. But DON’T buy the ones in that link, that’s just to show what the original Ford towing/camper mirrors look like. Get them from a parts truck or wrecking yard from an original Ford truck, these aftermarket ones won’t be quite the same.
Those two-point swing-way mirrors you usually see on the old 1/2 and 3/4 tons are not wide enough to see around a camper. It doesn’t matter what model camper you have, they’re all 8 feet wide.
If you use any sort of extender with the little two-point swing-aways, they will shake.
These are the ones that work.
They were usually on duallies and cab & chasis and they are very common and can’t be too hard to source up from a recycler. Get the real original ones, the quality is better, they don’t shake and you can get replacement parts
