Re: How to relocate the drivers mirror forward ? Reply #1 – November 16, 2024, 12:42:01 pm Loosen the nut at the base of the arm and loosen the Allen screws on the arm below the mirror, swing arm out and adjust as necessary . Two people makes it easier. Quote Selected

Re: How to relocate the drivers mirror forward ? Reply #3 – November 16, 2024, 07:55:53 pm Earlier model Foretravel's used a different base to follow the body curve to allow driver's mirror forward, similar to curbside mirror position. And most find the forward mirror position blocks some forward driving vision and often move it back to side window position. Quote Selected
Re: How to relocate the drivers mirror forward ? Reply #4 – November 16, 2024, 08:47:50 pm Once you move to the forward location (looking through the windshield), you will never go back to looking through the double pane side window again. The best added bonus (besides not having to turn your head to look into the mirror) is that it allows you to completely lower the side shade when the sun is over there!!! Quote Selected 6 Likes
Re: How to relocate the drivers mirror forward ? Reply #5 – November 17, 2024, 12:02:55 pm Speaking of outside mirrors. . . For knowing about right side of coach while driving down the road, or merging on to a highway into its high speed lane when it is important to move right as soon as possible:Some have mounted an auto-type mirror on curbside wall just in front of co-pilot side window. If one drives with 2nd person in coach, this add-on mirror can be a life-saver to learn about traffic on right side with co-pilot's help. Nice safety add-on.Co-pilot sitting forward to use the coach OEM right front mirror to help with right side traffic will usually block driver from using this OEM right mirror. Quote Selected

Re: How to relocate the drivers mirror forward ? Reply #8 – November 19, 2024, 10:35:04 pm Once you move it forward get everything tight enough to hold it all in place but loose enough to still move it, will take about 20 minutes to get the position exactly where you max your rear view.Mirror in front keeps your eyes on the road in front.
