Re: Thoughts on RV Junior mirrors: What is correct and do they work well?
I had a set of aftermarket chrome arms and rectangle mirrors. They worked fine at low speeds, but on the highway they vibrated so bad I couldn't see well when trying to use them.
I switched to some of the optional GM mirrors that you are thinking of switching to. Most people call them RV juniors, but I don't remember the actual name.
I'm really glad that I made the switch. On the highway, I can actually use the mirrors now and I have more visibility when using them. You do have to learn to look around the mirrors, but it's easy to get used to doing that.
All the chrome/stainless versions that I've seen have a Ford stamp on the mirror head. The painted ones did not have any stampings on all the ones that I've seen.
