towing & Mirrors!

I saw that a bunch of guys are using the ML for towing. (enclosed trailers, Airstreams, Etc)

How do you handle the Side mirrors...... (any extenders or add-ons?)

I'm pulling a 24 foot enclosed car trailer and can't see a thing in the side mirrors!!

Thanks!

I had these great towing mirrors that attached by suction cup with a locking crank. Don't remember the make but they worked great when I towed my boat. Try googling towing mirrors.

I use these Aero Grand mirrors. Works great, silent up to 70MPH. (Never tested past that as I will never exceed that when towing.)
They attach easily by clamps and stay put. Great visibility.
