    Default See over and/or around a camper trailer

    Hello. Just did an overnight with our new Kwik Kamp II camper and had an awesome time. We stayed fairly close by so I could get a feel for towing and we could make a list of what we forgot and will need next time. The question I have is there a mirror set up of some kind so I can see behind me? This trailer is pretty tall so you cannot see over or around it. Thanks.

    Perhaps a wireless rear view camera set-up would do the trick?

    Check with the MotoCampers forum. Sorry I can't access their website from my office computer.

    ...mostly …. I bought a pair that would attach to my Toyt trk. mirror SHELL …… The RT's Shell is similar in size, so I think they would work … they are very adjustable ….. got them on E-bay ….. Mike

    I also pull a Kwik Kamp and this is what I did. I got a regular motorcycle mirror and put it on. It works great and it's very adjustable.

    Check out Motorcycle Dave's inexpensive mirrors. You could add those to your windshield pretty easily. http://www.motorcycledave.com/misc-accessories/

    They're the same as these, but less expensive; https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...U9RRLCCA&psc=1

    Check out this mirror, we use it on a 2018 GM CANYON when we tow our 25’ Airstream. The clamps might fit the Spyder mirror.

    I think that would be too much stress on the mirror.

    I have been looking at everyone's tips and doing a lot of research and I have ordered a mirror that I think and hope will do the trick. The mirror works with a ram ball mount called "Double Take Adventure Mirror". And I ordered a 5" long ram mount double socket arm. I already have a ram ball mounted on my handlebar so I think this should give me plenty of height to be able to see over the trailer. Other options I found were called boat mirrors that clamp onto a windshield or wherever you can find a place to clamp them to.
