Adding Driver Interior mirrors Thor ACE 29.4

Hi, New owner and first post!!Any suggestions how to add or where to add interior driver's mirror and type of mirror.
My husband wants to be able to see seated passengers at dinette and couch. We have the over head power bunk above driving compartment. Thanks. LisaVWH

have no idea if it would work in that floorplan, but my e-450 class C has the standard review mirror mid windshield. Obviously not at all useful to see outside, but i can see folks in the dinette and back through the house.

Another thought, look at golf cart review mirrors. Maybe one of them could mount up....

I wanted to be able to see if someone, mostly my wife, was up walking around also. My wife sits at the dinette sometimes and with a mirror I can see her and have conversations. I used an old ski boat mirror, attached it to a suction cup mount and stuck it on the dash. The top of the dash had just enough room on the smooth part to allow the suction cup to stick. Very solid and has not fallen yet. Not a good picture but you can get the idea.

What about that mirror right over his head when the bunk is up?

I have three of those mirrors in my overhead cabinets that are billed as conversation mirrors, yeah right if I'm conversing with the ceiling! Absolutely worthless!

Had a rearview mirror in our last DP, was useful for monitoring our grandkids back there. No mirror in the Gemini.

Oh, OK. My slide is on the other side so that mirror works as intended for me.

Are the seats adjustable up / down? When I sit in drivers chair and look at conversation mirror, I can only see my wife if she is standing up. If she sits at the dinette where most will be when RV is moving, I can see them?

Am I missing something or did Thor just miss this? The Winnebago Intent 29M is perfect to see that enture area for conversation.

It is as if the Mirror need to be removed and place on additional angled wood to see the dinette / sofa areas
