Hiya, I’ve just bought a caravan and need some towing mirrors,
I’ve got some that hold on with rubber straps but they slide off eventually
Any recommendations for towing Mirrors for an Fl2?
Cheers, Bill

Does it really need them? FL2 mirrors are quite wide, I don't have a caravan but I tow race-car trailers and don't use them.

I've just got some standard 4x4 ones from maypole on my D3, work fine

No, I didn’t think so when we had our old caravan last year, we bought some cheap ones to begin with but they slid off so I didn’t bother after that but it’s the law that you have them so you can see 4 metres wide 20 metres back

Did these have rubber straps on the back, I think that’s the problem I had as the shape of the mirrors caused them to slip off

Yes mate, the outermost strap could slip off so I just moved it inboard a bit more
