Last year I drove a uhaul cube van that had a very nice set of convex mirrors mounted below the standard mirrors. I contacted a local uhaul dealer and he had no idea how to get them. They had The velvac name on them but are not listed on the velvac website. I found a listing on uhaul's website for a spotter mirror for GMC 3500, not a ford E450, I took a chance and ordered a pair. They are the mirrors that uhaul uses on all of their E450 cube vans. Just make sure you get a right and a left. I had to make a sight mod on a right to fit my left side.

U-Haul spotter mirror

I have a set of C-Betr Blind Spot mirrors on my F250 and they are great!

Here is a link to the Velvac website.

It looks like they have the mirrors I have been looking for for my Suburban.



I hope they have a 'will-call' or an onsite store.

Kudo's to you!

I rented a uhaul and had those same slick mirrors and tried my damnest to find them for my RV and couldn't.

How about a link or phone number where you did find them?
And how did they attach to the mirror?

2 years ago I ordered the same U Haul mirrors for my Class C because I liked them so much. They fit well. You can order thme directly from U Haul corporate but it isn't easy.

Uhaul link for spotter mirror

I found it by searching the website using the word "spotter"

The mirror attaches with two screws into the base of the main mirror housing
