Maxi View Blind Spot Mirror -- World's Best?

[Travelin2]

My rig had those on it when I got it. They are a good addition. Also the wide angle viewer for motorhomes rear windows works great. You can get the good ones at Camping World. RiffRaff pointed me at them. No glue or adhesive.

Thanks for the shout-out, Travelin2. Yup, you're talking about the "Fresnel Wide Angle Lens" (available at www.CampingWorld.com then search for "wide angle lens") that most big RV's use in the rear window, and that many VX'ers here on this forum use in their rear window as well (myself included).

I have seen other Europeon-style blind-spot mirrors that suction-cup on the interior side of the windshield near the windshield pillar, but I have no actual experience with them. They can be found at www.AutoSportCatalog.com website, then do a search for "spot mirror".





EDIT: Although no spot mirrors were found at www.HerringtonCatalog.com, they do have some cool stuff.

Something that member toallto in Lakewood Washington, (thanks Andrew)turned me onto is called the autobahn mirror, developed by German police. You can literally still see the car next to you in it and it is level with your front fender, that way you don't lose the use of your straight outside mirror. http://www.properautocare.com/autobahnmirror.html Look around, can find it even cheaper.

Looks like a great find Paul! Looks real similar to one I got at the auto parts place (Can't recall if it was AutoZone, Checkers or Napa). I think mine swivels too from left to right. Was under $5. Funny, I tried a small round and then a large round just like "Maxiview" shows in their ad, but liked the rectangle the best.

I tried different corners, but found I liked it in lower right corner the best.

I originally had one on passenger side also, but didn't like it. Now that I'm used to it, I may put pass back on.

I use the rectangular curved ones. They work great. A digital rearview mirror helps as well.

The screen can be setup however you want, full screen, 1/3left or right, 2/3 and so on.

It is dual layer, so you can use it as a conventional mirror, or digitally. It takes getting used to, but I have had it for so long, I don't even pay attention to the fact its digital.
The camera is starting to go,2 years for a Ebay Hong Kong special is awesome!!! I will be ordering another camera just like it. Oh, the screen is also dual input, so you can hook up a back up camera as well if you want...or a dvd player, computer...whatever.

Is that a touchscreen? How many NITs is it?

My VX was my first vehicle that i tried one of those things on... now i have them on all my cars. Cant live without them now.
They literally saved my VX one time in a split second reaction in traffic.

i have found that the rectangle ones work best too... i just got some for my toyota and im bummed that i got the round ones, they just dont work as well.

I still like my idea the best.
