No reason why they wont Have seen plenty of them on Pajs in the various camps weve been in ..
Just make sure they are not cheap knock offs as they can shake something terrible if they arent the good ones.
I have a set of the Camec ones and they are old and shaky so spent $140 on a pair of Toyota mirror heads off a tradie type mount.

Unfortunately they arent quite as good as could be but are easier to see in.
Have to make a pair of braces and they will be good.

The straps are about 15in longer than the distance to the bottom of a Cruiser door and they have a c shaped piece on the bottom that pulls up under the edge of the door.

You just wind them up till tight.

If you're in Melbourne and want to try them first, I've got a set.

My factory is in Dandenong, give me a call 9706 6527 to arrange a time. I do not sell them, these are my personal ones for you to test, then decide if you want to go and purchase (not from me).

They are very, very good.

As Jim says, they are excellent. I've had mine on a Pajero and now a Triton.
When fitting each side, make sure your window is down before attaching the top hook, much easier. Not important when removing.
As long as everything is tight you won't have a problem. My van is 2.4m (8ft) wide, and I get great rear vision, even for reveresing the van.
You see a lot on the road, so maybe if you call into a caravan park, anyone with them will only be too happy to help you.
