Has anyone tried to replace the manual tow mirrors on the Ford E-350 or E-450 with power mirrors? Seems like it would be a popular replacement, but I can't find any info on doing this swap. Also, does anyone know if the power telescoping mirrors extend as far out as the manual "tow" mirrors that come on the E-350/450 cutaways?

Moved thread from the Modifications and Updates section to the General Motorhome Discussion section since the OP's post is specific only to a motorhome chassis.
 
Unless you can find the wire harness for the mirror switch behind the driver door panel and then the plugs for the mirror power behind both doors, it will not work. Sometimes the manufacture will use one wire harness for all models even though they do not use some of those options. You are just going to have to take the door panel off and do some searching.
