Default Tow Mirror

I searched and could not find anything. I bought a 24' TT and my tiny little mirrors I can't see anything out of. I am looking for an actual decent add on I can just add to the mirror. Spending 450 dollars on tow mirrors just irritates me to think about. I have the camera, spotlights and all the crap in them and cant seem to find a decent tow replacement for under 400. Anyway, is anyone running one of those extensions? Real world me folks...lol thanks

Looks like the cheapest I can find that have Blis, Camera and power fold are 980 a piece... Anyone have any other information on cheaper ones? Id like to keep the Blis and camera, dont care about power folding as much.

I found some on amazon that look almost stock and are made for my truck, must be close to what you have.

These work very nicely. Snap tight and no "road noise" in the picture. And they're cheap to boot!

these are the ones I was looking at... you have them and like them? I just need to be able to see the side of the trailer...haha, I have the wife's ram 1500 that has flip up mirrors for longer trips... but I like the way the eco pulls better.

Yep, they work well. And the price is just too decent.

I am going to get a set of these...seems perfect for me, I only need them when towing my boats, which is just a few times a year.
Wonder how hard it would be to prep them and paint to match my truck color?

Since I have to get my dog-damage repaired and the body shop will have to spray that, I'll go ahead and have them do the mirrors.
