    Is your mirror on a swivel or is it mounted ? On my 386 I can rotate the entire mirror assembly. Another trick is if u have a window in the sleeper. You can look out that

    Well idk. It would not be hard to wire up a camera system yourself and put a screen in the cab for that if you really wanted it. Rather then paying whatever god awful price tag is going to be attached to a paccar camera system

    Why all the rush for a bunch of unneeded crap. Next your gonna be shopping for a pillow on the dash so your feet don't get tired. Atleast you won't have to put on your flip flops to get out and look.

    Cool more stuff to keep you getting ripped off at the dealership. If it goes out on the road you are stuck with those tiny mirrors.

    I tried manually doing that on mine and found it screws with my sense of the angle between the truck and trailer. I leave it alone now and just use the west coast mirror on my hood. I'm betting there will be a lot of crunched passenger side fairings on trucks equipped with these.
