Recommendation on Clip on Towing Mirrors

Have a Caravan now and the towing mirrors that came along with the Van like these don't fit my 2021 PX3 Ford Ranger very well.

So I am in need of some other mirrors. I would love to replace the factory mirrors with some Clearview or MSA mirrors, but I will do that later on.

I've done some research and found a few that I like but would like to see if others have recommendations or views on below:

https://au.vicoffroad.com/products/2x-towing-mirrors-heavy-d…
https://au.vicoffroad.com/products/2x-hmulti-fit-clamp-on-to… - I like these because it has another little mirror to see wheels etc
https://www.anacondastores.com/camping-hiking/4wd/auto-acces… < These have good reviews, but it's one mirror
https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Shop-our-Full-R… - I like these because it has another little mirror to see wheels etc

It's not an off road van, so freeway driving only.

Thanks!

I’ll give a plus one for the anaconda ones. They’re not glamorous but they are easy to put on it off and adjust. And they get the job done.

If it is just a temporary stopgap until you get clear views, these will be fine.

  Thanks, it seems to have pretty good reviews. I am leaning towards those at this stage.

  That's the plan yes. I would love some ClearViews or similar right away, but at $1200 (for the electric powered ones), a bit of a cost at the moment.

I used those autobarn mirrors last summer. They fit great and gave good view white moving slow - while on the highway they vibrated a lot but were barely enough.

Milenco. Snowys tends to be cheapest.

The Milenco Anaconda ones are good. Plenty of Gumtree and markerplace as well if you want them cheaper.

Milenco are great, can highly recommend them

  There’s a massive price difference. I my case clip on mirrors are a better option or I’d need two pairs of clear views.

    Sure a big price difference, but you always have them ready to go. Don't need to worry about them getting lost/broken or left behind etc.
    
    You get what you pay for, if you tow often, they are great! If you tow once every 5 years, then maybe not.

  Purely because of the cost at this stage. I will eventually do it.
