I am looking for mirrors too. Checked with the dealer and Jeep does not make them, I will go later this week to an RV store, Autozone and Advance to see if they have a universal that will fit.
If I find something I will let you know.
Your camper looks like mine only your TV is Red and mine is Rescue Green.
Did you get a load leveler hitch?

Try a couple of $1 convex stick-on mirrors first; I put those on and I can see my little trailer well enough.

Our trailors are real wide so a convex mirror won't work.:sad2:
Mine is 7ft 4in wide on the outsite edges so the mirrors need to be sent further apart.
Thx

Yep- my trailer is wider than that...not by too much more...
With hilldwellers trailer I can't believe he even had to get anything!!- when I had my pop up I could see it just fine....and it was wayyy bigger than his trailer.

Try www.rvupgrades.com and search for mirrors. They have one that connects to your existing mirror for $15 each.
I have bought from them in the past.

here's a link if it works.
Can also try Camping World if there is one near you.

The McKesh does look nice on the intranet.
I wonder where to buy locally.

I just purchased two mirrors at general RV for about $28 for each side. It is a simple universal unit, that i will try out this weekend.

JKG from looking at your picture it looks like you are tail dragging. It will/can cause the trailer to sway. Either get a lower hitch (with a sway setup preferred) or modify your trailer springing which will raise the trailer.
Sometimes you can flip the shackles, other times you can mount the spring on top of the axle instead of underneath it. Also inexpensive is to put on a larger wheel and tires.
As to mirrors it sounds like there are some good recommendations already.
