Adjust Convex Mirrors to Prevent Blind Spots - RV Tip #13

 

Before traveling in your RV, adjust both convex wing-mirrors to allow you and the co-pilot to see down both sides of your coach. Convex mirrors help increase your field of view and see objects and vehicles that might otherwise “hide” in a blind spot. Once set, the convex mirrors usually do not have to be re-adjusted.

Remember, objects in the convex mirror are closer than you think. Do not use them to judge distance as they can distort distance perception! Always make sure to use your mirrors – even in the rain.
