    Not enough bandwidth on the internet to list.

    I missed this thread and was just recently in search of a better mirror than the strap ons. I found the Dometics and they are far above the rest our there. The clamp is superior and fits into the open space of the OEM mirror housing without interference when you need to adjust the OEM mirrors. With strap ons, I could adjust the mirrors due to the clamps contacting the physical mirror bottom.

    I have a Gashole
    I am currently using those.
    The biggest complaint most have with that style mirror is the shaking at high speeds. They tend not to be very stable and a bit annoying.
    I try not to look into them for too long unless I am changing lanes.

    Second trip with my replacement mirrors (Trail Ridge) no issues, 200 mi round trip. Really nice to be able to see behind the trailer when driving/towing. I fixed the fittment issue with the top corner of the trim pieces sticking up a bit with some clear silicon RTV. fills the gap, holds the trim piece in place and looks good.

    My experiences with clamp on mirrors were not good. The wind and trucks passing kept blowing one mirror back flat against the truck and then I lost another mirror that blew off or vibrated off while driving.
