96" wide trailers are not a problem. It's the 102" wide trailers that the mirrors really don't extend out far enough. With a 102" wide trailer, you only have about 2" of mirror out past the trailer sides.

My trailer width is over 96". When I replaced the front skin I had to look hard for a local source for a sheet of fiberglass that fit.

What's interesting is that, while it doesn't seem to make a difference if they're in or out...on my Power Wagon it DOES make a difference if they're folded up for towing or down for normal driving. It's about a 1.5 mpg difference. Believe it or not, folding a Ram's mirrors up for towing adds a TON of frontal area to the truck that Fords' just don't gain by extending out.
Sorry, just a little tidbit.

And probably why Moose don't run as fast as they could.
