Mirrors

I am thinking of putting on electric mirrors. I am really worried about blind spots. Has anyone done this or have any suggestions?

I believe all recent Tiffin motorhomes come equipped with electric mirrors as standard equipment. What is the make, year, and model of your unit?

It might be a little easier (maybe) to install a rear & side view camera system.

I have an 85 Allergo. The mirror brackets are rusted and hard to move.

Yes expensive is the word

Just purchased a replacement mirror for my Tiffin and it was $781.00 with shipping.

It's a cheap solution, but why not just add on those small round convex mirrors you see on some trailer mirrors? It's seems like an easy way to see your blind spot,
