Be sure to check your own state laws before buying your trailer or next set of mirrors. There are websites with the regs for all 50 states listed, but it’s best to check directly with your own department of motor vehicles. Often, the “one stop” information on the web is outdated.
A good rule of thumb is: If you can see a car that’s 125′ (about 7 car lengths) directly behind your trailer, you’re in good shape. But also make sure your mirrors are stable, meaning they don’t vibrate at highway speeds.
McKesh mirrors are made of rugged steel and virtually vibration free. They strap onto your vehicle’s door in just a few seconds. Thick padding prevents marring the vehicle finish. The mirrors are removed with one push of the small catch next to the strap knob. On and off in a few seconds.
McKesh mirrors are available direct from the factory. Call Hensley Mfg. at 1-800-410-6580 to order a set, currently on sale for $125. Convex mirrors are $15.50 each. You can also order them online at www.hensleymfg.com.
