THANK YOU, AK!

I will buy two of those right now- one question- can they be switched (do you think) to allow for use on both sides?

Are they the specific ones you had experience with?

Thanks man!

Pat

They're universal and will fit any mirror without damage. I would never even think about the mirrors on the fenders. I towed my trailer with my Rover the other day and definitely should have put on the mirror extenders. If I had had to change lanes it would have been a grit the teeth and hope for the best ordeal. I couldn't see anything behind the trailer and my trailer is only 7' wide. It's not as wide as a camper.

The Rover manual says not to use a load distributing/balancing hitch. That is different than sway controllers. Sway controllers are more or less shocks that go between the tongue of the trailer and the hitch mount. The SLS is designed to adjust for the added weight of a trailer and a load distributing hitch will mess with the suspension.

Might check Wal Mart for the camera. They have one for $99 here that mounts to your license plate and sends the signal back to the 4" monitor RF. No wires. I got my dad one for his birthday and he loves it.

ahh ok, thanks for clearing that up AK. I was not certain what the difference was.
