Caravan Towing Mirrors |
The Law in the United Kingdom specifies, you must be able to see clearly down both sides of the caravan, and see 4 meters either side of the caravan at a distance of 20 meters behind the rear of the caravan.
This in reality means, if your caravan/trailer is wider than the rear of your tow vehicle, you must fit towing mirrors to comply with the law. You can be fined up to £1000 and get 3 point on your licence for towing blind.

Easter is the busiest motoring weekend of the year and the AA reckon that this year a record 10 million drivers will be on the roads.
Due to economic conditions we are having more holidays in the UK and Easter bookings at the Caravan Club sites have increased on last year. If you’re lucky enough to have booked into a site, consider travelling at off-peak times and take some provisions with you.
There are some glimmers of hope though. The Highways Agency (HA) will suspend 73% of the roadworks on motorways and A-roads, and you can plan your journey with up-to-the-minute info at the AA or HA sites, or by listening to your local radio station.
The weather forecast is good compared to last Easter when snow caused road problems, so the roads should keep moving. Meanwhile, to keep your own van on the move check the tyres for cracks and ensure the pressures are correct.
