You only need towing mirrors if your going to tow a big camper or a car hauler, my enclosed motorcycle trailer isn't wide enough for me to need tow mirrors. Plus I don't like them

Bye F150, hello F250
A wide trailer is not the only reason for trailer mirrors. The longer the trailer is, the less that you can see directly behind it. Its physics. The mirror's reflective angle becomes more parallel to the road as you adjust it outwards to see the sides of the trailer. Getting the mirrors further away from the truck allows you to adjust the angle so you can better see behind. Without my ****'s in place, there could be a car behind the boat and I might not see it. No prob with the ****'s in place.
Your call.

The appendages with the reflective glass in them on each side of your truck are NOT rear view mirrors. They are side view mirrors for checking traffic on each side of your rig including the infamous blind spots.
Having driven a tractor trailer for 20 years, I was always more interested in what was on each side of me than what was behind me.

My Jayco 28' Eagle Travel Trailer
Well, I tried to upload the picture several times but it won't go... It's not too big (JPG) either.
Oh well...
