[Rhodes22-list] Lining up with the trailer

[elle]

Bob. that's what I tried to do...have a 4Runner...no
place to attach mirror on the rear hatch...tried
putting it on the trailer & that worked but field of
view was too shallow..it worked until I backed up..;^)
Not finished  with this yet...a longer mirror may
work....if nothing else I'll get better at lining it
up!

thanks for the assist..
