Another option that helps to get a better rear view past the Westy overhead
cabinet is straight out of the big RV bag of tricks.  A small negative
fresnel lens near the bottom center of the rear window lets me see a nice
wide view of what's behind me.  Less than ten bucks out of pocket, takes
about 30 seconds to install.  Also lets me see things slightly below the
level of the rear window.  Works well to make sure my trailer is still
behind me on the highway and avoid running over the neighbors kids when
backing out of the driveway etc.  Available thru any RV supplier or a
multitude of online sources such as

I guess you missed the bay window long stalk mirror, which was my main
reason for posting link



It, in your words, "looks factory", not at all "retarted"
