I adjusted things a bit more and zip tied the mirror to the handle for better rigidity. I calculated about 30' is when traffic appears in the driver side.

I would say on a vehicle where you will be using a trailer that it would not be advisable to do so. I would not want to be without the option of my regular mirrors if I had a full load in back and a 12' trailer attached. I would say they are good enough for cruising around with though, especially if you have any kind of rear view mirror. You will have to try it and see what you're comfortable with, and what suits your personal needs though
