I don't think I've ever seen a car towing an eribas here WITH mirrors.
Si l’on tracte avec une berline moyenne une caravane de caisse de plus de 2 m de large, il faut se poser la question.
That last line leaves a lot open to interpretation, not translation.
How exactly does one define a 'medium sized sedan' or a caravan of 'more than 2m' for example? Does the more begin at the 2m mark or 2.1m plus for example? I personally agree with other posters, including those way back when this subject was previously aired, that having extension mirrors attached is certainly the way to go. I myself drive a pretty large SUV with a very good rear view down the side and which would most probably meet any legal requirements connected with this issue. That said, extension mirrors provide me with that 'little bit extra' which, when towing, provides me with more all-round vision which I personally believe is of great benefit. Many years of driving all manner of vehicles, including HGV's of several varieties have taught me that one can never have enough rear and down the side vision and for the cost involved is really a no brainer.
Having said all that, I'm not a great lover of Milenco mirrors or any other type that rely either on rubber bands or brackets screwed to the outside rims of the cars mirrors. I've always been left with that feeling upon tightening the screws of 'when is the plastic rim going to crack' and several times during convenience stops have needed to add an extra turn or two to the screws which, in doing so, alters the angle set for the mirrors. For the past two seasons I've used EMUK Special Mirrors which are designed especially for my type of vehicle and given the choice would never revert to using any other make in the future. They are certainly not cheap but look good, attach with far less effort that with other mirrors that I have used in the past and a rock solid stable.

If anyone requires a spare mirror you will find one of my Milenco Aero 2 mirrors on the southbound side of Nantes Peripherique on the hard shoulder if still there

I have always used ‘Suck and See’ mirrors, from Towsure. You can get them on eBay.
They take seconds to put on, and are totally adjustable with your cars electric mirrors.
I’ve never had one come off, but they do have a discreet cord in case they do.
They were developed and tested at speeds of 120mph, there used to be a video of this on YouTube.

I use the suck and see as well..
I let my last ones go when I sold my folding camper last year, so have just bought these ones from eBay within the last hour.
