Towing Mirrors

About this range

Towing mirrors extend your field of vision so you can see safely down both sides of a caravan, boat or trailer that sits wider than your vehicle. This collection covers dozens of fitments across popular utes, wagons and 4WDs, with electric, heated, indicator and camera-ready options on selected models.

We stock the Clearview compact towing mirror range alongside Britax towing mirrors, covering the Nissan Patrol, Isuzu D-Max, Mazda BT-50, Holden Colorado and more. Buy online with Australia-wide shipping, or have your mirrors supplied and fitted at our Burwood workshop.

How to choose towing mirrors

The rule is simple: when you tow, you must still be able to see the road behind you and any vehicle overtaking. If your caravan or trailer blocks that view, you need mirrors that restore it.

  1. Replacement or clip-on

    Replacement towing mirrors swap out your factory mirrors and extend when you tow. Clip-ons fit over the factory mirror. Clearview's are full replacements.

  2. Features you keep

    Replacement mirrors keep the features your factory mirrors already had, such as indicators, heating or power fold, where the model allows. Check the listing for your model.

  3. Extend only when towing

    Clearview recommends extending the mirrors only when towing and keeping them in when you're not.

  4. A camera isn't a mirror

    A reversing camera helps when backing up but doesn't replace mirrors for seeing past the van on the road.

Choosing towing mirrors

Start with how often you tow. If the van only comes out a few times a year, a universal mirror that attaches to your existing mirror is quick to fit and easy to store. If you tow regularly, a vehicle-specific replacement mirror gives a larger glass area, a steadier view at highway speed and a factory look whether extended or retracted.

Match the mirror to your exact make, model and year, then check which features carry over. Many fitments are offered with electric adjustment, indicators, heating and provision for cameras or blind spot monitoring, and the wrong variant can mean losing features your vehicle came with. Chrome, black and paintable raw finishes round out the choice.

Common questions

Do I need towing mirrors in Victoria?

Victoria's rules require mirrors that let the driver clearly see the road behind and any following or overtaking vehicle, and a clear view behind and to each side (Road Safety (Vehicles) Regulations 2021, Sch 1 cl 34; Road Rules rule 297). There is no set trailer width that triggers it: if your van blocks that view, you need towing mirrors.

Are towing mirrors legal?

Yes. Mirror extensions for towing are on VicRoads' list of approved modifications (VSI 8).

Can a reversing camera replace towing mirrors?

No. A camera helps when reversing, but you still need mirrors that show the road behind and to the sides while you drive.

Can I leave them extended all the time?

Clearview recommends extending them only when towing.

Will I keep my indicators and heated glass?

Replacement mirrors keep the features your vehicle's factory mirrors already had, where the model allows. They don't add features the vehicle didn't have.
