I have to get some mirrors, who has the best aftermarket mirrors? Slip on or bolt on I don't care. I have a trailer that is 104"X32' and need some now!!!!!! Thanks for all the input!

I think the TTT mirrors pull out the furthest at 106" and have a built in spot mirror. Kennedy has them on his web site.

Your trailer is 104"? Do you drive around with a yellow "wideload" or "oversize" signs on the front and rear of your vehicle? Unless things have changed, the widest trailer you can pull without permits is 102". You never said what kind of a trailer it was so I may be jumping the gun. Maybe its a job trailer and you need to move it to the next job. :confused:

So far I've had the stock power mirrors (lousy), the stock factory towing mirrors (better, but still lousy) and now the Schefenacker TTT mirrrors on my truck.

Aside from a little bit of vibration and whistle (see other threads), the TTT's are proving to be AWESOME.

And the best part is that they are POWER ADJUSTABLE. No more climbing over the passenger and out the window to adjust the mirror!

I may be off by 2"????? I just got this new camper and I was the only one holding the tape.

How about the cipa mirrors?

Love my TTT mirrors, although I only tow a 96" wide 5'er. Mirrors extend 109" tip to tip. I have pictures of them on my truck and the dimensions from the factory on my pictures link. I found the best price at WJ's Performance - over a hundred back from list (www.w j s performance.com take out the spaces when you type it in to your browser).
I think you have to call for his price now - he was getting some grief from Shefenacker over his low prices. Good, quick service.

I invested in the TTT mirrors and they work great. I have towed about 5 times since I put them on. I actually backed our 30 ft Travel trailer into my driveway wothout a spotter and I was right on the mark. Just remember when you park it anywhere fold them in,I do. For what you pay for them, you don't want some fool taking them off the side of your truck. Good Luck. :cool:

TTT is the best mirror available. With a 102" trailer, 38 ft long, you can see down the side on the drivers side including the trailer tires. The passenger side, you can see down the side but not the trailer tires. Best I have found for a widebody trailer. CIPA's don't work and neither do McKesh if you already have tow mirrors. I'm not completely satisfied but life is a whole bunch better with the TTT's. No vibration either and love the spot mirrors included.

Try this site: http://www.hensleymfg.com/mckeshmirrors.html

I use the McKesh strap on mirror set with the convex mirrors on each side with a 102 inch trailer (29 ft. long). They are great! I don't think any of the "permanent mirrors" extend as far (allow you to see more) as the McKesh strap on. They are easy to install and the vibration is almost non-existant. The mirrors are made by the same people that make the Hensley hitch.
