Drivers mirror position

[Tim Hannink]

I am installing a set of Velvac 2030 mirrors on my coach and have a
question regarding positioning the drivers side mirror. The
instructions state "with driver in drivers seat and viewing thru
windshield locate mirror assembly as far forward as possible..."

This is how the stock drivers mirror was adjusted and I tried this
position with the new mirror and it did work but it looked awful.
The mirror arm stuck straight out from the front of the coach.

Looking at the ads for various high-end coaches in the new FMCA
magazine, I see the mirror being adjusted so it is visible out the
side window and sits almost perpendicular to the side of the coach.
The only notable exception was the "Ferrari", the bright red 450LXi.

Does it make any difference which way it is adjusted or is it just a
coach-builders preference? Any pros or cons?

Thanks,
