Towing Mirrors

I don't know of the brand you are referring to. I do not remove my existing external mirrors & neither do numerous other people using towing aides like Aussie Truck Mirrors. The Aussie Truck mirror hooks into door so as not to impede window movement. There is a strap (like seat belt material) which goes down the side of the door & a clip attaches under the bottom of your door. There is a ratchet type winder & an adjustment for lateral settings. There is a forum called "Caravaners Forum" there are numerous posts on there about towing mirrors too. Hope this helps. I purchased mine from a caravan accessories stockist like Jayco (Who also have a change over clip for the bottom of your door as some clips supplied inhibit door closure)

G'day,

These might be the ones you are thinking of.

Clearview Mirrors

Daschin,

The Clearview Mirrors are great. I have a set fitted to my Prado and would never go back to anything else

There are some drawbacks though.

They are very wide and you have to rethink a few things like getting in and out of tight spaces, especially in car parks. I have found that in some car parks, I have to fold the mirrors in because most people dont look when opening their doors and the mirrors get hit a bit.

The other drawback is of course the price. but having said that, as a tow mirror they are great.

Hope this helps,

Cheers,

Good on everybody that gets proper mirrors when towing.
See so many idiots with narrow cars towing a large van and they cannot see anything behind, and no, they do not have a camera's either. Even with a camera, mirrors can be a life saver for you and others. Too many times had people pull into the right lane when alongside because they cannot see anything.
Good on ya's.

Here is some info on them.

Clearview Mirrors on a 200 Series

Scroll down the page a bit.

Hi Daschin,
I have the mirrors that you are talking about. They are "Clearview" mirrors. I have put them on a 200 series Landcruiser. They replace the original mirrors using the original electrics. When towing simply pull them out to extend them and when reaching your destination, simply push them back in. They can be purchased direct online from Clearview but I purchased mine through my local ARB store in Gympie.
