Phil said: Subject: Re: Side view mirrors, was: cheap exterior mirrors and pet peeves Thanks for the info Steve, I didnt know the proper way to set the mirrors on a BIG bus(I just got my Commercial Carrier license a year ago) and your right, the Westy's rear view mirror is useless, but not for long, i plan to move it down a bit, after hearing some older posts.
By the way I think you just proved my theory that tour bus drivers, RV'rs, etc. who enjoy driving buses would ALSO enjoy the Vanagon becouse it turns just like a miniature tour bus am I wrong? and I replied: Good sir, I AM NOT AN OLD POST. Perhaps advanced in years and experienced but ... ;o) Like a miniature tour bus? It is, or at least mine is, a miniature tour bus with accommodations for 2 in virtually any locale. Calfunia plate "4WD BNB", Bessie the charolais camper, mountain cabin, beach resort, forest hideaway, desert refuge, ski chalet, urban pad. Also doubles as daily conveyance, grocery schlepper, mobile office, birding blind, fishing camp and...on and on. With a vanagon each day can be a new adventure... cheers, pensioner (who mounted an audi 8x2" windshield mount mirror and can see better now) |
