Towing Mirrors / Camera Systems

[Sean_Gladiator_JT]

Towed home a 2020 Keystone Passport 239 ML yesterday.

Any suggestions for new Mirrors for the Gladiator (either extendable, or additional that would go out further to see down the side of the trailer?).

Also not happy with the rear camera, was somewhat low def / generic dealer installed, thoughts on a better camera system?

As far as the mirrors, I got mine from Amazon...the ones for the JK. There's a guy here, Thorne Engineering (do a search) that makes adapters for those mirrors for our JTs. They are excellent!!!

As far as the rear camera issue...you're talking about the one on the trailer itself with a monitor somewhere on the dash? I don't have that so can't help you there.

Besides, I really don't care what's going on behind me...just down the sides for occasional lane changes.

X2 for the Thorne Eng mirror set up. They work great. You will have to but the adaptors and mirrors separately.

+3 on Thorne engineering for mirrors.

To make it clearer, here are the Thorne Engrg mirrors on my JTR. It literally takes me 10 seconds to put them on. I haven't used them yet but other forum members have said they are solid and don't vibrate and jitter the view.

Here are a different, typical mirror you'll find. I have used this on my Grand Cherokee and the jitter makes the image difficult to see. They took me 5 minutes to put on with all of the different parts, and I'm not as confident they'll stay put. However, they do extend further for a better view.

As for the rear view camera, I have the Voyager WVOS43 wireless rear view camera on my trailer and I found it to be fine. It's reasonably clear, and it doesn't drop out much. I'm not sure how it's specs compare to what you have.

For a trailer camera, I installed this:

It's not nearly as good quality as the JT rear camera, but it's decent. I really only use it for parking. The trailer gets pulled by a few different vehicles and it's easy to move the monitor between them without dealing with any pairing / connection issues.

+4 Thorne Engrg mirrors. Tried mine for the first time today and they were great.

Another for the Thorn adapters and mirrors. Towed my CTC 6000 miles around the US and would not tow another trailer without them. Simple and cheap. Dont have a camera.

+5 for Thorne. I think the Amazon mirrors were for the JK. Thorne’s adaptors for the JT are very good quality and easy to use.

I had a Furrion camera system on my trailer. It worked ok, and was better than nothing

eBay will get you the JT adapters and you still need to buy the mirrors. I found the Quadratec price to be the best for the mirrors.:

do you have a road report for how they perform?

I have not had the chance to go for a long drive as of yet. Very little vibration around the block is all I can say so far.
