OK, finally switched from open to enclosed trailer...

[TowX]

I've been concerned about pulling an enclosed trailer with my X5, simply because if the trailer was too heavy I would easily exceed the 6,000 tow capacity of the X5. But after some here have suggested they have no issues towing enclosed, I finally bought one.

I'd been looking casually for a number of months now, trying to find a light trailer. Every 20' I looked at was 3200-3600 empty, or were ultra expensive aluminum trailers. Then I stumbled upon an 18' V-nose that the seller was having a hard time selling because it wasn't 20 or 24' like most racers look for. And it only weighs 2850 lbs. So I brought it home yesterday. Empty it tows effortlessly at 65, the fastest I could try with traffic. Look forward to getting the correct tie downs in so I can load up the 911 and try it out loaded. It'll be close to 6000 when I get the spare race wheels and tools inside but should be OK for most trips.

However, the one downside is that I have no way to see around the sides of the trailer with the stock mirrors. And trying to back it up anywhere is like driving blind. Searching I found a couple of posts about strap-on mirrors but my experience with those is that they tend to vibrate at speed. Has anyone found something that works well on our mirrors?
