Correct. Your mirrors must give full vision along the side of your trailer. If the trailer is wider than the car, then towing mirrors are required. In your case, no.

Stupid question

With Milenco Grand Aero mirrors which is the best way of fitting them on the mirrors?
Short or long arms - pictures appreciated

Not sure what you mean, I only have one length arms.
Here are mine:





Sorry pics are sideways - damned iPhone! And, oh yes, I have bent my arms to match the curve on the mirror body.

As I understand it, you only need 'towing mirrors' ....... if your towed unit is wider than the vehicle towing it.

Can someone confirm of correct this information.

With my mini-caravan I have never used 'towing mirrors' as the unit is only 4ft wide. (and I have had it for 14yrs now)
