TOW MIRRORS
Towing mirrors come in all shapes and sizes, but all serve the same purpose: to extend your side mirror visibility so you can see your entire van.
One of the common misunderstandings about towing mirrors is whether or not they are a legal requirement. The answer is technically no, but it is a legal requirement that drivers have a clear line of visibility down the side of their tow vehicle and van or trailer, as demonstrated in the diagram. If you've got a compact or narrow van, then your vehicle's side mirrors might be acceptable, but in many cases towing mirrors are required.
We've showcased the MSA 4x4 Tow Mirrors a number of times in (check out John Ford's review in issue 636). These tow mirrors replace your vehicle's standard side mirrors and provide you with a permanent visibility solution. They've also been designed to connect to your vehicle's existing wiring harness so that you have full functionality when adjusting the mirror angle to your desired position using the internal controller. While they do require installation, you won't have) for further information and pricing.
