Collection: Towing Mirrors

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.

Towing mirror FAQs

Do I legally need towing mirrors?

If your caravan or trailer is wider than your vehicle, Australian road rules require a clear view along both sides, which standard mirrors usually cannot provide. Extended towing mirrors are the practical fix. Requirements vary by state, so check your local rules.

Can I leave towing mirrors fitted when I am not towing?

Universal mirrors are designed to come off between trips, while replacement-style mirrors stay on the vehicle and retract to a near standard profile, which is why regular tourers prefer them.

How do I know which towing mirrors fit my vehicle?

Fitments differ between models, years and option packs, and accessories like snorkels affect fit on some vehicles. Call our Burwood team on 03 9808 8966 with your rego and we will confirm the right mirrors before you order.
