Towing mirrors

there are some caravaners that appear to do daft things, not having mirrors is one but speeding is another. You can't police them all and /or force them to comply. All you can do is make sure you yourself are safe. 

interested or not what can you, or one, do about it?

Personally I can't understand how you can tow without extended mirrors unless you have a very wide tow car or narrow caravan. I tow with a freelander 2 and have an Elddis Avante, TBH without the extended mirrors you can see bugger all behind you on dual carriage ways and motorways with the cars mirrors. Some people I suppose are just an accident waiting to happen?  

perhaps I've touched a raw nerve with some judging by their replies, but having been forced onto the hard shoulder on the M4 recently by one such caravaner, I think I am justified in expressing my concerns!

these people that buy the new 8' wide caravans will need longer mirrors to see the side of their vans.

Any mirror, extended or not, are only of use to those who look into them.

Millenco have done extended arms for a while, though as I already use them to the full extent I would want even longer ones should I come into enough money to buy a wide caravan.

I don't see why you should have - people who tow without a clear view behind them are just plain stupid - and irresponsible. As Milo said - and you have experienced - they are an accident waiting to happen which will undoubtedly involve an innocent fellow traveller.

yes agree, also those who speed, use mobiles while driving, or appear to think that red lights are just advisory.  If the consequences just affect them that would be fine by often sadly they don't. All you can do is be safe yourself and look out for these idiots as best you can.
