This picture appears in ETI's website for the 19 and although there are items in this pic that are options (like AC), I'm sure that the mirror is part of the package. Keep in mind these are acrylic mirrors so are not distortion free...

I've found that the mirror in our 19 works like one in a fun house -- your reflection will change from thick to thin, depending on the temperature. I made a smaller acrylic to go over the sink, photo attached.

Unfortunately, I think these mirrors make one look heavier--at least that's what I tell myself. But at least they show if you have all your bed hair under your hat before you go outside...

I would like the 15 lb model for myself.

There was no mirror in our 19. We have discussed putting a small one in, but I really don't have a need to look at myself. We do bring a small hand mirror.

Our last trailer, a 24' stickie, had 4 mirrors in it. Really did not like that.

I added a mirror to my 17B on the inside of the bathroom door. It is an inexpensive glass mirror (I believe it came from Walmart) held in place with 3M double sided tape. No distortion, and it has been there for 2 years...

Hi: PAB4... I added one to the outside of the 5.0 bathroom door. Wal-o-mart special wood look metal frame. Attached it with No More Nails strips. Been on since 2008...not moved yet!!! Trouble with it... makes me look "Bald". Alf

The one on the door in our 19 was really distorted. I discovered that one end didn't fit properly into the channel on the back side of the door, and it got glued/caulked in that way. I brought it home, removed the mirror, re-attached it with a clear LocTite caulk and clamped it until dry. It's still not like a glass mirror, but it's much better. The entire time I was doing this, I was seriously considering just attaching a thin piece of oak plywood in it's place. We both would have preferred that originally, had we known what the mirror is like.
