Tow mirrors

What do you all use for seeing the top of your trailer while towing. I live in the on a dirt road and have a hard time seeing the top of my trailer while towing in order to avoid low hanging limbs.

I just angle my stock towing mirrors up slightly if I'm on roads with overhanging branches etc. I only tip them up enough to just be able to see the roofline. My primary concern is always the lower half of the trailer...

Get a pole saw and trim any low hanging branches before taking the camper down the road. I do this ever other year on the gravel road leading to the rear of my property where I keep my camper. I take my truck and stand in the bed and trim away... for me there is no way to avoid them so trimming is what it takes. To me it's better anyway than worrying if a branch will or won't rub as you go with the camper.

I do trim the low branches but sometimes you still need to see what you are going under. Just wonder if anyone knows of a clamp on or stick on mirror that would work well to view the top of the trailer.
