Jeff,
VW did put non electric side convex mirrors on Vanagons in late 86 early 87. They will fit all Vanagons'. They should have done it sooner.
I personally love it. I can see the entire side of the bus and about 2 lanes over. I've never had any trouble judging distance, but then again maybe its me. I went out of my way to search for a good used one to put on my '82 camper. I think it eliminates blind spots on that side of the bus and I can see my rear tire so I don't scuff the curb backing up. Thats just my 2 cents. Take care.
