Towing mirrors are a must-have accessory when caravanning so our recent giveaway was very popular.
If your caravan is wider than your tow car then you’ll need towing mirrors so you comply with the law. All caravanners need to be able to see along the sides of the caravan and 4 metres out to 20 metres behind when towing.
After more than 1,300 entries we can now reveal who has won a pair of EU-approved Maypole MP8323 extension towing mirrors for their tow car.
The winners…
Congratulations go to these three Coachman caravanners:
- Neil Clarke from Rotherham, who tows a Coachman Pastiche 565 with a Ford Mondeo Titanium X.
- Bernard Coyle from Crawley, who has a Coachman Wanderer Amara 380/2.
- Philip Lindsay from York who tows a Coachman Pastiche 460/2
Thanks to everyone who entered and don’t forget to check out our video on towing mirrors, which shows how vitally important they are for everyone’s safety on the road.

i’m a woman towing a caravan, why would anyone not put extending towing mirrors on ‘it’s like not wearing a seat belt’ it’s a safety issue for yourself, law or no law!!
I have a rear mounted camera on my caravan and a 10″ monitor in my vehicle, I can see a darn sight more in my hd camera than I can with my towing mirrors which vibrate and rattle, I have tried many different types of mirrors over the years and my camera system beats them all. Now I hear you say that a camera is not a legal rear view option, why, do you know how many 44ton lorries are now ONLY fitted with a camera and monitor system, all the latest hgvs are now adopting this system for rear viewing, I have a virtually 180deg view with my system and I trust looking at both my vans main side mirror and checking for anything I can’t see from the mirrors. The law WILL have have some modification to the wording regarding blind spots. I can see more in my monitor than I can in my rear view mirror due to its wide angle and hd quality. Yes I am aware that I am technically breaking the law but I would invite any police officer into my vehicle to see that actually the camera system is far superior to two shaking mirrors. By the way I use the identical mirrors to that shown in the video.
Where are the towing mirrors for recent released car models ??? The top tighten to grip mirrors do not stay on !
Good to know who the winners are. At least you know the competition is genuine.
