Re: How to see behind me?
All good points. I really like to know what's going on around me as I drive. I would much rather avoid a situation than figure out a way to deal with it and I don't really care who is right or wrong in the scenario. I will be traveling solo and as a 56 year old woman, anything that be extra eyes or ears for me will add to my security. So, if I go with a camera, any recommendation? My TV is a Ford F-150 extended cab. I'm towing a Coleman 19 ft. TT. back window in the trailer.984Views0likes0CommentsRe: How to see behind me?

It would be nice to be able to see emergency vehicles behind you, and even drunks too. And if there is someone tailgating you, that's nice to know as well, so you can slow down more. I hate hearing a siren, and not knowing where it is coming from, so I can stay out of it's way. Exactly505Views0likes0CommentsRe: How to see behind me?
I do try to keep track of traffic behind me via peeks on curves, seeing who might turn in behind me at intersections etc, and after dark there's always headlights. Freeways are not really an issue at all, but I like to travel more on US routes and a lot of 2-lane roads. Once I get more out west this fall, the traffic will also be less of an issue for the most part. Thanks for your thoughts.383Views0likes0CommentsNortheran locations?
I'll be headed acorss the Northern part of the country out to Seattle in September. A lot of it will be US2 going west. I imagine for the most part, civilzation will be pretty sparse. Any suggesting for What to look for or avoid when starting to look for a place for the night? 19' Coleman TT with Ford F150 dual cab.1.7KViews0likes4CommentsHow 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!11KViews0likes32CommentsOcean view trailer sites?
I will be headed down the west coast from Washington to SanFrancisco this fall (sept-Oct). I would love to spend at least a few nights with a great ocean view spot. It doesn't have to have a beach - high up looking down is fine. I have a 19 ft TT with Ford F-150. I'd love to have suggestions! My preferences are quiet, electric and water hook up - but open to dry camping as well.3.9KViews0likes10Comments
