Towing Mirrors

Yes. If your caravan, trailer, or load is wider than your vehicle and your factory mirrors don’t provide a clear view down both sides, you are required by law to use towing mirrors. Failing to do so can result in fines and demerit points.

The team over at AdelaideRV did a great video explaining it (see here). In a nutshell, if the cops pull you over, they’ll usually check your mirrors by measuring from the outside of your driver’s side mirror to the outside of the passenger mirror. If for example it measures 2.2 m, and the trailer or caravan behind you is wider than 2.2 m, you’re going to get fined.

Towing mirrors extend outward to provide a better field of vision, helping you see down the full length of your vehicle and what you’re towing. This makes lane changes, reversing, overtaking, and merging far safer.

No. While cameras can help with rear vision, they don’t meet legal requirements for side visibility. Towing mirrors are still required to provide a clear view down the full length of your setup.

Modern towing mirrors are designed to complement your vehicle. You can choose between black or chrome finishes and sleek, OE-style builds that look great on-road or off-road.

Yes. Our towing mirrors are built tough to handle corrugations, dust, and all the bumps that come with off-road touring across Australia.

Most extendable towing mirrors give you an extra 100 mm–200 mm of visibility over factory mirrors. This helps cover blind spots and improves awareness when towing wide loads.

Quality towing mirrors are designed to minimise vibration and maintain a clear view, even at highway speeds. Be sure to choose a set built for your vehicle for best results.
