G'day Bailey,
I have tried a couple of different styles of towing mirrors and the ones I have been using for the last 7 years are the "aussie truck mirrors" I find these easy to fit once adjusted for your vehicle. They are also very stable and easy to look through! I also like the nice big mirror head that gives a good view and they are not convex so what you see is a true picture.
If you shop around you should pick them up for about $85-95 each.
I think they are well worth the money.
You could also look to see if "clearview" replacement mirrors are made for your rig. I don't know anything about these so will not comment.
hope this helps

I also use the Aussie Truck mirrors and find them ok. The Clearview mirrors look very good but the cost will make a serious dent in your budget, money that could be better spent elsewhere, eg beer, wine, boozy lunches etc

Jim, we saved so much money by buying our particular van instead of the heavy "off-road" caravan we were considering, that the $600 for clearview mirrors seemed cheap. And we LOVE them!

I use the Clearview mirrors and love them.
I have slight damage on my cruiser from the Aussie truck mirrors and would never put them on again.
My opinion only

If they make Clearview mirrors for you vehicle, then save yourself a lot of heartache and get them. I have them and they are worth every dollar.
Just be carefull of the extra width when they are attached. You will get used to adjusting you driving, particularly when parking.
