I'm a little concerned about the advice that "you can get away without mirrors if you are not going far." My first objection is that this is someone who is new to towing. If he were broadly experienced, I probably wouldn't object, but for a newbie, this could be a problem.

The other objection lies in the definition of "not very far". Two hundred miles is probably 4 hours for a newbie, and if he is already a bit white-knuckled and unsure, and probably tired, this is going to be a long trip.

As some of you know, I am a big fan of McKesh mirrors (never used the clones, but they look the same so probably perform the same). But I am definitely NOT a fan of NO mirrors.

Just my thought.
