I am having a very hard time finding longer mirrors for my truck, being that i have power mirrors, any aftermarket mirror leaves a huge hole in the door. Any opinions to work in the factory location/with the factory mirrors, etc

 

I have power mirrors too. I bought one slide-on mirror from Camping World and it works fine. I put it on the driver's side and have no problems when I'm towing my 30ft. toy-hauler.
For what it's worth.....

 

check my pic gallery my electric mirrors were custom altarted by previous owner, they look factory, the electrics still work ,sweet set up will post detail pics after work and instrutions if wanted

 

Yes could you post more detailed pics? That would be great.

Thanks, Aaron

 

I have used the slide on kind with my old Ford truck and I hated them. so I am going to graph on a newer style mirror in the next few months

I will post up when done..

 

Just an FYI. You could order both power and towing mirrors on the same truck.

 

well dodge did away with the mirrors that are on my truck not power but i like them alot its hard for me to find replacements for the if you like them ill see what i cant do about finding some for you just let me know pics in profile

 

Can you tell me the exact style one you have? I went to thier website and see the choices. Thanks

 

I went to the Camping World webpage and from what I could tell, the link below is the same type slide-on mirror I use.
When I got mine, I made the mistake of putting the strip of foam-tape on the mirror housing. Bad move. Couldn't get it on the truck's mirror. There is a little plastic hook and nut piece that hooks onto the truck's mirror arm to secure it. No tape. First Gen Dodge is not listed for the mirror below but it looks just like mine, Good Luck!

I went looking on Ebay and found the exact same mirrors I use. The link below should get you there. Again, good luck

I use something simlar and its not bad when towing just a trailer but it just doesn't stick out far enough to see around my slide in camper.

 

I once saw a screw on extension for the horizontal mirror "pillar" that had a set screw to lengthen or shorten the mirror, but I think you would have to lengthen the wire harness.

I used the slip-on towing mirrors with hook attachment method and they work.. kind of, at least at lower speeds, but due to increased surface area, they buffeted and were blurred at highway speeds.

 

Sorry for the delay it's been raining ...so waiting to get good pics . In reply to other posts I have great vision pass my camper ,no vibrs,ajustable[with in dash switch] and can be folded in and out. To make requires excellant welding skills ,some stainless steel ,2 jack out bolts.S&S nuts and bolts...... well the pics will show whats needed...bare with me. Eric

 

Hey guys as promised lots of pics of my factory [1st gen]electric mirror conversion to west coast style folding tow mirrors. The pics should explain how to make em look in gallery

 

That's what I have and they work great assuming that you don't have a cracked mirror bracket like I do. Add the extra wind resistance and it moves too much to see anything. Another thing to fix one of these days......

 

Well I have searched high and low and have not found anyone that has gone outside the box and mounted a nice newer set of towing mirrors..
I honestly cannot stand the chrome stock mirrors my truck has..

So I figured hell I will put a new style mirror on my Truck
I have a '92 and I am gonna graph on a set of '02

Here are the pics I took when I opened up the box I just got with my new mirrors.

Here is front shot closed

Of course we will all have to wait to see what they look like when done..(keeping fingers crossed it works out)
