Hans anyone towed without the tow mirrors? I’m curious what the visibility is like.
Thanks for any input.

I just bought a similar trailer Friday. I will say the BLIS works well going down the hwy and adjust itself after the first decent turn.. but I would like to have alittle more mirror when backing up. I tried to back it up into my polebarn and definitely needed another set of eyes on the ground to get it in there.I have a 8.5x24 car hauler, and no tow mirrors. I put the extenders on, but it’s more for appearances, the normal mirrors work well and I’m not seeing behind me either way. The BLIS does work, displays an icon telling me I have a 30ft trailer, but I’ve noticed the BLIS needs to ‘see’ the trailer real soon after activating tow/haul mode to come on. I usually wait until I’m ready to roll before activating tow/haul and as I make the first turn the screen flashes some message (I’m always watching the trailer) and the 30ft icon is lite. I too have a wireless cam on the back of the trailer so I can see traffic behind so I’m not surprised by it.. I’ve watched the traffic and the BLIS indicators and been quite amazed how well they work.
I probably would have preferred the tow mirrors, but didn’t want to lose the folding function. With the extenders and wireless cam I’m happy with the rearward visibility.

I have the K-Source Snap & Zap Custom Towing Mirrors - Snap On mirrors on my 2020 Limited for the same reason. They work great but are finger busters, especially when removing them.I just ordered the Longview mirror attachments for my 2020 from eTrailer. Had the CIPA ones for my 2015 and they made a world of a difference. Would definitely recommend the tow mirrors that you can remove after towing as I like the power folding mirrors on my truck.
