The rear view mirror in the Travelall is about as useful as a tax audit. It’s a piece of flat mirror bolted to the roof, aimed back down a steel tube at two windows 15 feet away; there’s basically nothing visible in the tiny amount of reflective space. This is why I sought out and installed west coast mirrors, which will do the heavy lifting of showing me what’s behind the truck.<\/p>\n
