Getting ready to go on a trip. Gonna use my '84 245, 140k miles in excellent mechanical condition to tow a pop up camper about 300 miles. I plan to lock out OD, but my question is: What mirrors to use? Anyone know of some cheap add ons that work well? I don't want to drill any holes and time is of the essence. Any suggestions would help.
Thanks,
Mark

    good lord I hope for your sake that you live in a flat part of the country. I know from experience my unloaded 240 doesn't exactly leap up any hills...I would think that JC Whitney or some other mail order junk catalog would have inexpesive mirrors to help your setup... good luck

      I agree with you, however I've seen pics of Europeans towing with a 240. Last time I towed anything was with an old Chevy Suburban with a drivetrain that could embarass Mustang GT's. But I digress.
      I'll only have to tow about 120 miles in flat southern Michigan, so I'll probably be okay.....
      Thanks for your comments.

    I've had good luck using the cheap clip-ons that attach to the fenders. Just make sure that the rubber pads and the paint on the car are clean before you attach them, so they don't ruin the paint.

      I used a mirror that clips on to the existing Volvo Morror.
      It worked great. I only used one on the drivers side. Didn't really need one on the passenger sid. I also had stick on convex mirrors on the Volvo ones. They were small but you could see the blind spots easily.
      Here is a link to the mirro I used. You can probably get it locally too.
