Hi all.
me again.
tonight i need advice on the best, and easiest to use, towing mirrors for a Peugeot 308. i have googled and a favourite is ' Milenco Aero' Any thoughts?
Also, with the xplore 302, what type of awning should i get.
The A measurement is 757. Is this a size 5? Any other restrictions for a small caravan?
thanks again for all your wisdom

I know when they first came out the threading bit was heavy? I don't know how tall the OP is but I know I am thankful for my height even with a traditional awning!

Sorry Pippah, I was meaning Milenco aero mirrors, not Aero awnings. I do agree about the awnings.weights though. I know of a few people who have had air awnings and said they are the best thing since sliced bread only to get rid a few months latter due to their weight.

It is not the size of the tow vehicle or caravan that determines the choise of the bigger or smaller mirror, but how large a field of view one wants to have. The larger the mirror the less precise it's adjustment needs to be, and for a solo tower it is a huge faff to get a small mirror spot on.
A tip for the OP (and others). Once the mirrors are adjusted to your satisfaction, stand at the nearside rear of the vehicle with your knee against the back bumper and memorise what you can see in the mirror. You then can reset that mirror to the same position in the future without having to keep going back to the driver seat to check.
