By all means get a Defender. If you get a good one, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

Not with the stupid convex mirrors on the D4.Or even easier, using your mirrors
Baz.
Bring back flat mirrors so you know where everyone on the road is and you're not always chasing your tail backing trailers.
(I tow a trailer almost every weekend and backing accuracy with convex mirrors is a thing of the past. By the time you can see the change in alignment you have already over corrected and have to re-correct in the other direction. When you've got a long trailer in tow (like a caravan or camper) which obliterates vision from the (flat) interior mirror and over your shoulder, you have no idea when it's safe to change lanes using the outside mirrors.)
You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

Always look in your side mirrors, looking over your shoulder or centre mirror, you see nothing, if you can't see down the side of the van/camper or trailer, get wider mirrors

I saw an instructional video on backing a semi which basically said to choose a spot on the trailer which was visible in the side mirror and use that as a guide. Keep the mark in the right place and you know you're going OK. If it moves out of focus then you're wrong. I do that with our camper trailer, which has to be backed through a single roller door to put it away. So far I haven't hit the garage.
