As any keen caravanner will know, there are some caravan accessories that you just cannot do without. Amongst these is a caravan mirror. Caravan mirrors or towing mirrors do not go on your caravan but are to be attached to the vehicle you use to tow your caravan. They are to be bought separately and cost between £20-£50. Their function is that of safety.
The standard mirrors that come with your car do not allow you to see what is going on behind you when you are pulling wide objects such as a caravan or a motorhome. Therefore you need a way of extending the reach of your mirrors so that they can give you a larger view. This is where caravan towing mirrors come in. All you need to do is buy an e-marked pair and fix them on top of your existing mirrors. Some caravan mirrors actually replace your normal mirrors.
When you start looking for towing mirrors, you will be met by a wide variety of styles. The most important thing to keep in mind is that no matter what type of mirrors you purchase, you just need to make sure that they are type approved and e-marked. This means that they are of good a good standard and they comply with the latest regulations. We recommend Milenco caravan towing mirrors as they satisfy this criteria.
The most common type is the models that you affix on top of your existing side mirror or you clip it adjacently. This will give you the required field of vision so that you can clearly see everything that is happening behind you including any vehicles that are trying to overtake you. The second type of towing mirrors is aimed at those caravanners that tow regularly. Instead of attaching them to your existing car mirrors you replace them with these caravan mirrors. This saves you the time it would otherwise take to put on and off the mirrors. Although, fixing mirrors on top of your existing mirrors is not at all difficult and is straight forward. If you are going to be towing regularly, why not save yourself a little time and get these types of mirrors.
