Hi guys do i need special towing mirrors to fit the large bongo mirrors or will the universal type suffice ?

Thanx.

Normal ones with the 2 rubber straps to attach were fine on mine

which ever you buy,make sure they meet the new regs,they have changed in the last few years and must meet certain criteria. i think its CE regs or something,and they have to have it stamped/printed on them.

I don't actually need any extra mirrors after all the bongo being a little bit wider than a normal car i can see perfic, the caravan only sticks out 5" either side of the bongo =D>

If you are towing a caravan wider than your towing vehicle,basically,the law requires that you have towing mirrors.
There are measurements for how far you have to be able to see behind you,but id get a set fitted to be on the safe side

make sure if you go towing mirrors they packed carefully stacked
they could snap, seven years bad luck if the trailer wheel hit a rut
You have cause to tut or even but ](*,) like a badly kept cage bear
its not nice if the animal rights get there for the bear i mean. NOT the glass
head it off at the pass & use masses of padding cladding or even Steve McFadden
& those things in boxes like Wotsits, but dont taste so nice,
i offer good advice! :mrgreen:

Peace.
