Good afternoon everyone Thanks for the warm welcome to the membership Steven this site looks great. My first post is to get opions and advice on the mounting of ramco's new 1750 mirrors they mount on the coach the same as the 9000 model using the same arm the difference is the head is 17.5 " tall and about 5/8 - 3/4" wider I have tried to attach some pictures of the mirrors on the side of the coach the mirrors are only using 1 of the original mounting holes so we could get an idea of the look and veiw from the outside and the drivers seat The mirror heads are quite adjustable and will definetly help our vision while driving I am concerned whether there would be too much wind resistance from the taller head Sean with Ramco thinks we would not see a difference over the 1350 model (13.5" tall) Cooperhawk hope to day is as nice at your home as here in Ontario when you mounted your mirrors did you use any of the orignal mounting holes or did you just centre the template over the area occupied by the original mirrors Our Coach is 1985 325 and should have a backing plate similar to yours again thanks to Steven for starting this site for Classic Motorhomes Ray and Evelyn

Good Day Ray and Evelyn, and Welcome Those look pretty sharp! Sorry I can not help you there. Interested in how you make out tho! My 77 mirrors are near useless! On the list of upgrades. Are those powered or manual?

Had to do new holes. The base plate covered them though. That backing plate is a bear to drill fthrough!!! I did the DIY spread on Ramco mirrors. Check that. Gotta go now. Going into the city to have dinner with daughter and her husband.
