Extension Mirrors for Caravan towing

Hi. I made my own. They are convex 6" in diameter and clamp onto my roo bar. As they are convex they do not exaggerate too much the vibration that is set up. The arms are telescopic and the extension section pulls out when not towing. The fixed section is held onto the roo bar by exhaust clamps.
I also have a rear view camera.
As far as I know, none of the commercial brands are much good.

Hi Timid Trekker,

My vehicle is an 80 series Cruiser on LPG.
I have a set of the "Aussie Truck Mirrors" and I think they are the best. They are fully adjustable and have a decent sized mirror surface.

They clip onto your door where the window slides down and the other clip fits onto the bottom of the door with a seat belt type strap between to clamp everything nicely. There is little to no vibration, petrol gas may have something to do with that, on my car at least. I commend them as being among the best. But then someone else may have more experience than I.

Regards,
Bruce

Aussie Truck Mirrors are the way to go. Steady and big enough.

The 2 brands that a lot of people seem to be using are ORA or Vision Plus but these mirrors are at the dearer end of the price range

The best thing to do is to go to someone who has a large range available such as Camec & look at what will work best on your vehicle

Remember that you normally get what you pay for so be careful if you buy cheap ones

I use ORA Mirror mounted ones on my GU Patrol & these work well & the mirror & arm can be removed & refitted in seconds leaving the mounting bracket attached to the vehicle mirror

Also with a mirror mounted ones the mirror will swing back if the mirror hits something but occasionally they will swing back when a truck passes the other way

There are cheaper versions of the Vision Plus called Aussie Truck Mirrors & these might be worth a look at

Good luck

Regards Don

A vote for ORA here. My third set. I really dislike anything that touches paint. Also have GU Patrol, and found I did need an ocky strap from mirror nut to bonnet hinge arm on drivers side for when trucks etc go past.

I cant fault my Aussie Truck mirrors and would highly reccommend them over other brands.

Another vote forOra Magnetic mirrors. Have had my set for 8years and they have worked well little to no vibration and easily mounted.

Hi Timid

Yes, the strap on ones do vibrate. We got some to bring the caravan home with. As you can see, most caravanners recommend Aussie Truck Mirrors.

However, although you will still by law need the wide mirrors, the best thing you can do is fit a rear view camera. This is invaluable.

Gooday,
Go the extra few dollars & buy the Vision Plus, they have a bigger mirror, set in S/Stell backing, not plastic like the Aussie truck which are a clone of the Vision Plus. Shop around for the Vision Plus as the price can vary seriously. Good Mirrors are an Investment not a costly item.

Thanks everyone,
Given I'm time constrained pen pusher, I'll leave the home remedies alone and go with consensus which appears to be Aussie Truck mirrors and Vision Plus. I'll check out the relative pricing and jump in! Van due in 13 days and counting. Bazza.
