Thanks for all of the replies and ideas. I ordered the mirrors from eBay earlier today.

We will be towing a 32ft travel trailer. I have not checked salvage yards, but that is a great idea. The ones on Ebay are aftermarket, not OEM. If I could get salvage units that were OEM, that would be better. Thanks!

I just picked up a F250 Super Duty truck as a tow vehicle that has "standard" exterior mirrors. On Ebay, I have found mirrors that appear to be much larger, and are described as "telescoping tow mirrors". Would it be worthwhile to install these on my truck? The cost is about $140 for a pair...

Thanks for all the comments this topic has received so far. I just got a quote from the dealer for $600 to do the upgrade. I think this is something we will do. Thanks again, what a great resource for all of my silly questions!

I don't think I stated my question properly. What I was interested in were thoughts about upgrading from a 13500 BTU to a 15000 BTU AC would make a substantial difference in keeping our unit cool. It seems like a relatively small increase in capacity. Is it worth the hassle and expense to have a...

The AC unit on our new Salem 32BHDS we have purchased off of the dealers lot is a 13500 BTU unit. Looking for opinions about asking the dealer to upgrade to a 15000 BTU unit. Our old TT was much smaller in terms of square feet, and there were days when the old 13500 we had on it would not keep...

Well, today we signed the paperwork to become owners of a Salem 32BHDS. A long process has come to an end, and we are very pleased. We had narrowed the list down to two units, and took my daughter and son in law, along with the grand kids, back to take another look and help us make the final...

We have just joined the RV Forum. Kevin K9HX Donetta KA9MFW Clay City, IN Thanks!

Just getting back into RVing again after being out it for several years. Ham call K9HX.

I would recommend the Uniden PRO520XL unit as well. No bells and whistles, but a solid performer. Put it with a decent antenna and it will do a good job for you.

We are just getting back to camping after being out of it for a few years. One thing that caught my attention was a line of blue tanks by Barker that have pneumatic tires. On trips that required our gray tank to be dumped it the past, I always recruited one of my kids to help me put our old...

My wife and I are experienced campers, but have not had a unit for several years. We are looking at buying a new TT, and have narrowed our choices down to two units. The first is a Gulfstream Innsbruck 30FRK. The second is a brand that appears to be somewhat lesser known, a Crossroads Zinger...
