Side mirrors are simple, cheap, and work just fine. Having said that, they’re an aerodynamic mess. I’ve got no problem leaving them behind. However, they really are needed for towing. I’m fine with an alternative solution as long as it works. The fender mounted cameras by themselves simply won’t work for towing.
please explain how they will not work? seems this is based on no actual facts just feelings
The most basic high school geometry explains why tow vehicles use wide mirrors. A wide angle camera won’t solve anything. The wide mirrors aren’t to see behind the trailer, they’re needed to see around it. I don’t mean this question to be rude at all, but what’s your experience towing large trailers?
It is physically impossible to bend light with a camera. They can’t look out and around an object. That’s the simplest fact possible.
you are simplly not informed. Maybe you needed to go to university. I have driven semi, towed with a f-350 down to my Dakota everything from a small utility trailer to a 25' goose neck
If you were that experienced, you wouldn’t be so hopelessly wrong.
Go take a look at that semi you drove. Look at the mirror width versus the trailer width. They had to hang ‘em way out there for a reason.
