Hi , I have a Peugeot Boxer van and when towing the caravan it's only 2" wider than the van ... the mirrors have no issues seeing behind and the lower one gives a better view than the extending mirrors the tow shop flogged me which promptly fell off ! . Does anyone know if I actually need to fit them please ? Thanks in anticipation ..

Sadly I've been dissapointed with them and I find the view restricting, and, to be honest, I tend to llok in the car wing mirrors rather than the Aero mirrors. Not only that, but I find them a pain to adjust to get in the right position. I'm so tempted to go back to my Suck-it-and-See wing mirrors which I liked.

A tip for adjusting mirrors, David. Once you do get them in the position you want go and stand at the rear of your vehicle and lean against some easily remambered bit of it. Then look into the mirror(s) and note what you see. Then next time you can reposition the mirror without having to be inside to check.
Drivers of Land Rovers use this all the time even when not towing as mirrors get swiped by trees and undergrowth.

Which ones did you buy, the plain glass or convex? I ended up with the convex (after trying the plain) as they gave me a much wider view. I found this especially useful abroad when overtaking on the left or joining the motorway. My Sorento had convex mirrors so the Grand Aeros matched the same perspective. I am aware that some people don't like convex mirrors but I found them the best for me.
