Towing mirrors

[Diver Dan]

Hi just bought a California Beach last week and so far the family is very happy with our purchase. Fights have already started over who gets to drive .

We live in Germany and I visited the local VW centre on Saturday trying to find out if I could buy towing side mirrors for our T6. He told me that VW currently don't have any on offer and that I should contact a caravan specialist shop.

Has any members of the California Club purchased or seen any mirrors available? We need them for towing a caravan that is 2.5m wide.

Michael.

You could look at these Milenco towing mirrors

Milenco Aero 3 - Fit very securely.

These might be best for T6 commercial sized mirrors

Thank you all for your warm welcome and your suggestions.

I'll do a bit more research and let you know how I got on.

Hope the weather in the UK is better than we're having here at the moment. My kids are super keen to do an overnight in the camper over the weekend but it's raining cats and dogs at the moment!

For total view you could also use a remote view camera. Wired to an on/off switch in caravan so that it is only on when you are mobile.

Type of unit that I'm referring to-

Also helpful when pitching up etc.

I also tow and use the Melenco Area mirrors and so far have worked very well. Good secure fitting, easy to adjust.

Should be Milenco Aero mirrors. Hate these spell checkers!

i would suggest Cipa USA 11980 Universal Bar Towing Mirror Kit, i have been using this for a long time, in my towing truck which i drive for Manhattan 24 Hour Towing. these mirrors are the best.
