All About Towing Mirrors - 2

...For example if you have a 1 ton truck and you are towing a 30 foot fifth wheel you will need big full size truck mirrors. But if you have a Honda Sedan and you are towing a small utility trailer the type of mirror you will need is much different.

Some tow mirrors clip onto the existing mirrors, some clip across the vehicle bonnet, some are magnetic, and some have to be mechanically installed. The mirrors that have to be installed are the sturdiest and would be considered a permanent install. They are a little more expensive.

Tow mirrors provide a wider range of visibility when you are towing. This extended vision allows you to analyze traffic around you giving you the visual information you need to stay safe. They adjust in the same manner as regular mirrors do.

On the non permanent mirrors you need to check the securing clamps, feet, and knobs regularly to ensure they remain tight. They can work themselves loose with road vibrations.

Both the right and left tow mirrors need to be adjusted to show just a hint of the side of the vehicles body. You will have a blind spot; after all you aren't going to see anything out the back window. So your exterior mirrors need to compensate for this very large blind spot by being correctly set. Adding a convex mirror on the corner of each mirror can be very helpful.

Online has a great selection of towing mirrors in lots of different styles and at some great prices.
