New, easy to fit van mirrors.

These mirrors are the latest release from Camec. They have just had a raving review by editor of Caravan World magazine Max Taylor (featured in the latest issue). He towed a van all the way up to the Kakadu national park and had clear vision all the way and they did not fall off at his delightful surprise.

We launched this product online late last week and have already nearly sold out!

More stock arrives today...

They are a sure hit for Caravan & RV World.

Happy travels,

C&RVW

please do use the safety chain or it may hit my car behind you when they come off
which I am sure sooner or later they will as they age dirt on surface etc
Cheers Steve

Jim,
they do make a lot of sense especially the that they can be adjusted via the electric mirror.

I also like the vertical orientation of the mirror heads.

If the suction cup is well manufactured and the surface it is fixing to is clean and dry then I don't see a problem. I would believe that they would have been well tested by Camec.
Glaziers use them all the time to move glass around without drama.

Only thing I could see being a problem is whether the electric mirror mechanism can withstand the extra load at speed.

Have a good one,
RA.

Like someone said camec would not have released them if they were going to fall off.

I think they have actually come up with something that works.

They also look easy to put on and off.

Mine will be ordered as soon as I finish this reply.

Thanks for the info.

I may even buy some myself all I am saying is if they are supplied with a safety chord use it camec designed them with safety in mind by supplying the chord for the just in case scenerio if they are as strong as you suggest then they will not damage your duco it was you who said you donot use the chord and promoted the responses and they do look like a great idea I did not intend to annoy anyone just to point out a safety issue

Are they flat glass or convex?

I have just returned from a 30,000 k trip around Aust. and I must say towing mirrors are very frustrating. I have tried two types, the ones with the straps that go to the bottom of the door, and the clamp on to the mirror head style. The second was better as it did not foul on the window. The biggest problem is that when a Road Train comes the other direction at 110 kph the wind force is huge and the original mirror just folds back against the drivers side window glass. The drivers mirror has quite a bit of resistance to fold it back. I would imagine that after this happens a few times either the suction cup will give up or the mirror glass in the side mirror will smash. The Clearview replacement mirrors seem to be the way to go but they are pretty expensive, however everyone I spoke to that had them said it was the best money they had spent. I would be interested to hear from anyone that has used this mirror over in WA road train territory. Hope the mirrors do a good job for you, good luck. Regards Ken

I would not be too concerned about the suction cup losing its grip. I would be more worried about the stress on the original motorised mirror mechanism.

That Camec mirror has a fair bit of leverage and the motorised mirror mechanism was never designed for any more load than the original shrouded mirror. Replacement mirror assemblies are not cheap either.

But time will tell.

We have just finished a 3500km using these mirrors and they are great, never a problem.
They have been available for quite a while from Towsure in England where I got mine from at a great price. I originally had one flat and one convex but I would recommend only using flat, they are a bit on the small side but you do get used them.
