Hi Guys n Gals,
I am wondering what people are using now for extension mirrors when towing our vans. I have something similar to the Trojan ones that hook over the bailey channel rubber next to the glass then hook under the bottom of the door and a ratchet winds it up tight. My mirrors no longer stay in adjustment and I think that the best thing to do is buy a complete new mirror set up and I have been happy with the ones I have but sometimes new ideas maybe better. The only minor issue I had with this style was the strap vibrating at certain speeds, but I sorted that out by putting a twist in the strap.
I drive a VE Commodore wagon so the mirrors will need to suit this application.
Looking forward to any and all replies as good advise.
Cheers Cobba

Gooday Cobba.
You say your mirrors no longer stay in adjustment, can you tell why ?
Is it the strap stretching, the mirror head moving or are the arms loose ?

The Aussie Truck mirror are a good setup in my eyes and generally don't give much trouble.

I've got a set of Aussie truck mirrors and they are the best I've come across, but not for Isuzu D-Max; won't fit.

G'Day back at ya!
Thanks for the replies I will have a look at them.
The issue I have with what I got are the mirror heads no longer can be tightened up to stay in place and simply drop out of adjustment. Straps and brackets are perfect.

Just went looking for these Aussie Truck Mirrors on FleaBay but not found. Same on a carvan accessorie site.
Found Camec, Kakadoo, Trojan and Leisurequip but no Aussie Truck Mirrors.

Can you please advise where these can be found to look at?

Thanks for that. These are very similar if not the same as the others I mentioned. I noticed on that site that replacement heads were available but had issues with the link so I will go back and open it by typing into my search engine directly.
Thanks again for the help.

Just tried it myself.

Could be an Anti-Virus thing.

Mine won't allow me to progress as it is not a secure site.

there is a phone number there, so it might be worth a ring to find a local retailer?

regards
Gerry

You could also try "caravans plus" as well. Have bought quite a bit of stuff from them & have found them very good.

Regards Neville.
