All though the CIPA mirrors will be better than nothing, A set of aftermarket extending mirrors are 10 fold better, and worth the extra cost. You get 2 larger mirrors, flat and convex, Power adjustment is a great option for looking around, tree clearance in the campground, down and in checking your tires, add the safety of extra clearance lights and turn signals. Better viewing on a daily basis to boot.
They will be on every TV of ours in the future.

Hmmmm... Just read on the e-trailer web site that the Cipa mirror will not fit over mirrors with chrome caps, which my truck has.

It also says it won't fit over puddle lights. There is a light on the underside of the mirror, but it is flush with the housing. Is this the puddle lights they are talking about?

Will have to do some thinking about how best to proceed.

It said the same thing for the CIPA'S I bought for my f150. I emailed them and they said that it was aftermarket chrome and aftermarket puddle lights. The CIPA'S I bought have openings for the puddle lights.

I have the same mirrors you referenced in the Amazon link.
Mine are made by K Source and have the same part number. (81810)

They are super great mirrors. Easy on/off and no vibration.
You can also leave them on if/when it is necessary to fold the mirrors.

Highly recommended.
