psxpak Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 I put my mirrors on today. I tried to make a time lapse video but my camera battery died.. Usually I have an external power source attached to it for 8-11 hour days doing concrete work but figured the internal battery could do an hour or 2 but i guess not. The mirrors are just cheap semi truck style universal mirrors from Amazon. I'm gonna take them back off and replace the mirror itself with better quality ones from Napa since they have pretty good ones there but the mounting hardware is all installed and adjusted. I'm also Going to paint the new mirror back and mounting hardware black to match the rest of the RV. I'll probably do it when i pull the rack and paint it and the ladder.

IdahoDoug Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 So, do these new mirrors wiggle? My original mirrors seem in fine shape, and tight, but the entire structure constantly shudders and wiggles. Again - nothing's loose or damaged. The movement seems to come from the mounting locations as if the door sheetmetal is too flimsy. So I'm curious if these truck style ones are rock solid, or not?

I actually havn't gotten it out on the road yet since installing them. the feel pretty solid from grabbing them and giving em the push pull. I figure they shouldn't wiggle much with all the mount points. I'll let ya know though when I get it out on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
