Better Towing Mirror?

Better Towing Mirror?
Is there a better option for towing mirrors other than the factory flip-outs? One of my enclosed goosenecks is just too wide to see around... particularly on the passenger side. I noticed someone had a different type for sale in the classifieds but they are not there anymore. They had the ram logo on them but they were not like any I have seen since... look like they may slide out? Does anyone have any experience with something like this? Thanks in advance for any help.

'Elephant Ears' maybe . . ???
Extendable Trailer Tow Mirrors - go to any Dodge Parts website like www.moparpartsamerica.com/ and type in K6859378 in their search window, or under truck accessories search extendable trailer tow mirrors, that will take you to the Elephant Ear Mirrors and other mirrors Dodge sells.

The best towing mirrors I've used are the McKesh (see link) but they are strap on, not permanent mount. After first time install & adjust they are easy to R&R, and remarkably vibration free even in a strong crosswind.

Thanks so much for the responses. If the McKesh mirrors are a wider view than the stock flip-outs, I may go that route as they are a cheaper alternative... Christmas coming and all that. It would be nice to back up without sitting in the middle of the front seat for a change
Thanks again-

Slide-Outs
I just won a set of these on Ebay. More than I wanted to pay but cheaper than new... still pretty exited about it. They are supposed to extend to 24" from the base to the end which is a bit more than the stock flip-outs... should be enough to accomplish what I need. Thanks again everyone for the suggestions-

Cool. Let us know how you like them. I really like them but I have to say, I have never has a set of mirrors on any vehicle I have owned that I like as much as I do my standard tow mirrors.

I just got a set of these really cheap myself. I got the leds all wired up and I'm really digging them. I kept my other tow mirrors just in case I stop liking these though.
There's a set in the classifieds here right now too....
