Subject:Re: Seeing out the back window on a Westy w/ AC

Hey Phil,

The magnifying lens is one of the best safety upgrades that I've added to my
Westy (also w/ the AC box).  I bought the largest one Pep Boys sold ~9x11".

Im planning on buying one of those RV window magnifier
fish-eye things. If it works for 20 ft RV's then it
should work for a Westy right?
