    caravan mirrors for D4

    Hi folks
    Just a quick one. On my D1 I have the mirrors that clip on the window sill and the bottom of the door.
    What are people using on D4's?

    Cheers Mossy

    If you are going to be traveling on 2 lane roads with large vehicles coming the other way at speed, use something additional to retain the Aero's on the D4 mirrors. ( a colour coded fabric tape seems to do the trick- since ) My drivers side lasted all of 200 odd klms before hitting the deck. Roadtrains can generate a massive wind blast.

    As the whole thing was covered in mud it was not until I got back to camp that I could wash the mud off and refit the glass - none of the clips were damaged but I suspect they would not survive too many removals.

    On the road they seemed fine - as in the bush if the suction caps are turned up tight it will not be the mirror coming off but the glass in the vehicles mirror coming off.

    They do vibrate a little but is OK - but that is the mirror in the car rear vision mirror moving.

    They are great value for the money and fine if you know how to use them. I would rather have the cars external mirror pop off than possible door damage with one of those mirrors that strap to the door.

    Mossy, you could go top shelf with clearview mirrors. D4 ones just came out.

    Lost of caravaners use them these days, but they ain't cheap...about $700.

    Permanent replacement.

    Er, no thanks, I've ordered a set of Milenco Aero 2 mirrors.
    Though for the price, a set of Camec suction mirrors might be worthwhile to keep in the van as back up.
