Congratulations! I would like to see one in person but there is not a dealer close to me. Both of the closest ones would take over 2 hours driving to get to them. As for mirrors, I added the ones from 1A Auto that extend for towing and retract for regular use. In some states, towing mirrors are required (e.g. Vermont). I bought them for my 2010 Frontier. I gave you the link for the 2015 Frontier. They aren't cheap, but they are really nice and they make the Frontier look "grown up." Big smile

I picked up the new 195 and towed it home last night. It appeared to take about the same amount of gas to tow my 172 to the dealer (bout 1 hour 45 mins) as it did to tow the 195 back, just judging by the gas gauge. I was a little concerned that the wider camper would be more difficult to keep in the center of the lane, but, it actually seemed easier. Much easier to gauge the camper wall, than the extended tire. I did however add a rear observation camera to make my visual view much easier to manage. I don't know if I will use tow mirrors, The camera lets me see behind me better than mirrors.
