I contacted our representative at CIPA about the using the Custom Towing Mirrors, part # CM-83000, on your 1999 Dodge 2500 to tow your 80 inch wide fifth-wheel trailer. She informed me that the mirror when retracted measures 17 inches, and when fully extended measures 21-1/4 inches.
What you can do is measure from the mounting point of your existing driver side mirror, through the cab of the truck to the mounting point of the passenger side mirror. You can then take that measurement and add 21-1/4 inches, to see if one side will extend past the trailer.
