Full length mirror?

Hi
We have a 2005 17b and I want to put a full length mirror on the outside of the bathroom door. I have read various posts but wanted to post again. I am thinking of buying a $7 12 x 48 inch mirror from target and attaching it with double sided gorilla stick tape? Or something else heavy duty? I am guessing the door is hollow?

Thanks

Spend a bit more and buy a plexiglas mirror from a glass shop. It is unbreakable and much lighter. And when it comes to placement, you want light on you when looking in the mirror.
Mine has been up for 12 years.

the plexiglass mirror is also lighter and way safer.

You'll need to install a light.

Where would I find a plexiglas mirror. I haven’t been able to locate a place that sells that so far.

do you have a shop that sells plastics or plexiglass products? Usually they will cut the plastic to size.
A big box store or a dollar store may have something.

Any glass shop that sells patio doors, replaces residential windows, screens etc.
