I mostly just turn my head and look. Well, that s not going to work if you are driving a coach or towing. So I m going to talk about what you need to know about using your mirrors, and go on the record as saying that most of the mirrors commonly found on recreational vehicles and tow vehicles are as useless to you as a bicycle is to a fish . Most motorhomes have a mirror on each side. That s good as far as it goes.
Trouble is, it doesn t go far enough.
Trust me on this. Since I haven t gone around measuring everyone s mirrors, the sizes I ll be mentioning are nothing more than guess-timates . The bottom 3 inches of these mirrors is of the convex type. On a motorhome of over 30 feet, these mirrors are woefully inadequate. The driver can t see what he needs to, and what he sees in the convex mirror is probably too small to notice.
