So i really like these coaches but i think the mirrors were an afterthought....lol.

Ive been looking over options for futur replacement and it looks like everyone pretty much goes with the Ramco's....is their not any other option?

I'm looking as well... hoping for other options, but I haven't seen any mentioned that I can remember. I think the Ramco's are the going bet. But I could be wrong. I don't need power or electrified in any manner. Just good replacement mirrors.

I have a personal reason to dislike the aftermarket mirrors, and it comes
from them all being so much wider.
The building inspector in Marion County, Oregon, being the jerk that
he is, would not approve my building plans that included a 12 foot wide
roll-up door along with a 36" walk through door. The widest door he 7would
approve was 10 foot.
There is only room to drive through with the stock mirrors. The
Ramco and other brands must be unbolted and folded into the body to pass
through a narrow door imposed upon me by bureaucratic, not physical,
limitations. Bugs me every time I move a coach in or out of my shop.
One black list owner, who didn't want me to fold or readjust his
mirrors, had to be turned away without me helping him because of it. Just
my pet peeve, I guess. I understood his reasoning, but felt badly that I
was unable to help him because of imposed limits.

My coach came to me with Velvac mirrors on it similar to, or maybe the same as, these:

There are few models, for some reason they were not listed on new site. I
will have it corrected.
