Towing Mirrors Recommendation?
Does anyone have experience enough to recommend a good towing mirror for my 2014 ML? I tried the Fit System 3891 Clip On.
Unfortunately, they will not attach securely due to the extreme taper of the mirror housing on the ML. Highway speeds and vibration will most certainly cause them to slip right off.
I'm going to give these a try.
Anyone have experience with them?
I really feel a towing mirror is needed, as those itty bitty standard mirrors just do not show well enough behind my camper trailer to be comfortable on a long pull; and we're headed to AK and back in a month..
Recommendations? TIA!!

Doing some inter-forum searching for towing mirrors for my 2016 GLE 350 and would like to know how your towing mirrors ended up working out. We are looking at a Grey Wolf 23MK that I won't be able to see around without mirror extensions so your experience would be helpful to know about.
Thanks,

I have a set of Milenco's similar to yours, and very happy with them. I (2015ML350BT)tow a car/trailer to Florida and back each winter, as well as moving the boat in Summer. Excellent mirrors, perfect vision!
Just remembered.... 1st time I locked the vehicle using these, my heart stopped for a moment, as the vehicle mirrors swung in.... fit just fine!!!! Maybe check fitment with mirrors already closed!!!!
