Repco towing mirror onsale

Hi ss. They look exactly the same as the ones I picked up as a freebie when I bought our van a few years ago. They stay in place most of the time on our Prado mirrors; they don't stick out far enough to provide the legal vision from the Prado past our 7ft 6in caravan. I went and bought other mirrors to give me enough vision to be worthwhile (the sort that have a bar across the vehicle above the front wheel arch, and the mirrors at the ends). I must confess that, once I had these wide mirrors, I could see fine, and I could also hit the side mirrors of traffic in the next lane, which wasn't all that great. Seriously, if the Prado with mirrors could see behind as per the law, I needed a lane and a half!!
All was fixed when I bought a rear vision camera!!

So the answer to your question revolves around this: how much wider is the trailer than your tow vehicle? Measure the distance between the Kluger mirror centres plus the extra that you would get with these mirrors added. If this is more than the overall width of the trailer, you should be OK

Hope this helps

If you want a decent mirror that doesn't jiggle and carry on the "Aussie Truck" style are the only real way to go.

I found the type in the add are sort of acceptable but prone to being slammed against your window when you meet trucks coming the opposite way.

They can also fall off on rough roads.

That's what I use on the Forester, they clip on in a few seconds and I can see all I need to see with them. I would like a bit more vision but there aren't many other options to give me better vision. I am aware of what is behind me and any vehicle within the 3 car lengths I can't see shouldn't be that close anyway.

Lots of people won't agree with that, but they will do until I have need to add more vision.

Aussie Truck mirrors or clones of them are my choice every time. Best I've ever had.
Mirrors must be set wide enough to be able to see the back corner of the trailer on both sides.

Repco sell a copy of Aussie Truck mirrors sometimes for as low as $64 each.


Camec have also had some recently for about the same price.


Far far better than those ones.

You get what you pay for.

Also you have to have mirrors on BOTH sides
