Mirror use video

I saw this video on RV mirror use and watched it with my wife. She is new to using truck mirrors and found it very useful in adjusting and using the mirrors. After viewing, I realized the mirror positions I was using for decades were not optimal. I never had issues with the way I had them set, however, there really is better visibility when set according to the advice in the video. You might find it interesting, and might want your wife to view it if she shares the towing.

Thanks, I don't think folks give mirrors much thought. Just set them up to see behind them. The video shows what is important to see is the transition of traffic and that is what you should be using to adjust them properly. They did a good job showing us that. Of course there is always this take on the matter:
