I used these mirrors while towing my travel trailer for two months last winter and they have worked great. They allow me to see around my trailer while towing and backing my trailer into camp sites.
Frank K - 09/07/2021I'm not going to repeat the details of all the other comments related to the weakness of these mirrors. Biggest negatives are the plastic mounting bolt which will inevitably fail... it's life just depends on how much UV it is exposed to. Fabricating a replacement should be relatively easy. They also don't extend far enough out to see around wide enclose trailers, buy they help see upcoming traffic earlier. The tricks to avoiding striping the mounting bolts are: 1. Screw the plastic nut on to the bolt a couple turns before you mount the tow mirror. Then when mounting the tow mirror, just press the mounting bolt area in towards van's the mirror to get the hook over the edge van's mirror. 2. Don't over tighten the plastic nut... just tight enough that that the hook doesn't easily move a way from the van's mirror frame when you push in on the tow mirror. Otherwise the mirror works great and is an inexpensive alternative to aftermarket tow mirrors... none of which telescope in when not towing. If you absolutely need to see around a wide enclose trailer, you'll have to get the after market tow mirrors.
The mirrors went on straight forward with no problems. These will make towing our camper much easier, also in backing into campsites. I like how they look like factory. Thank you for a good product that works well.
Alan - 08/08/2020Cheap alternative to get towing mirrors! Love the looks and ease of installation.
Steve K - 09/16/2021I have universal extension mirrors, but they are noisy and difficult to install. I read reviews before getting these mirrors and was a bit concerned about installation. My answer to that is "read the instructions ". Although the mirrors don't say which side they are for as the instructions indicate. But if you put them on right, they are easy to install. We pulled our 36' camper on the interstate and the mirrors were silent! Visibility was good, we feel quite safe with these on our 2016 Chevrolet Express. Thanks.
Arthur - 02/16/2019This seems like a good product. It is the second time I have bought it. It is the best looking towing mirrors for my van. It said they were able to stay on the vehicle which is probably true but don't go in to the car wash. I lost the driver side(broke the mirrors).lesson learned take off before automatic wash.
Purchased the LVT-1700 mirrors for my 2008 Express Van to haul our Travel Trailer. Great alternative to mounting large bracketed mirrors on our Daily driver. Easily installed and removed. Great Product! I have purchased a couple of products from etrailer and have been well satisfied with the Quality and most importantly their Great Customer Service.
Mirror extensions for my 2007 Chevy E3500 van. Really like the mirrors. Little plastic hook bolt did not fit correctly and was way too fragile to be reliable. Attached photo is what I made to replace it.
I really like them. They do the job for a lot less than a whole new set of wide replacements, plus, I can take them off when not needed for better mileage and walk around spacing in the barn. They seem to be pretty sturdy as well - no jitters going down the road. Only complaint was wind noise, which I improved by putting a foam block between the mirror and door/body to fill in the gap a little.
Robert S - 03/18/2021The mirrors fit perfectly over our permanent mirrors. They extend out enough to give a better view of traffic behind you while pulling a trailer. The mirrors are easy to put on too. The only concern we have is that the attachment bracket is made of plastic and we are not sure how durable it will be when taking the mirrors on and off. Overall we are very happy with the mirrors.
Lisa K - 08/01/2020Mirrors have helped a lot. I’m now able to see traffic coming into the blind spot on the passenger side and can change lanes confident I’m not going to hit someone. Without the mirrors two vehicles could be on that side that I couldn’t see. Installation was easy and they match the original mirrors on the vehicle. Very happy with purchase.
These towing mirrors are the only ones I could find that would fit my 2018 Chevy Express Van. My son-in-law helped me install them, which was fairly quick and painless. The improvement in rearward visibility was immediately noticeable. I like that these mirrors can be adjusted via the remote control stalk on the driver's door. However, these mirrors have a "hair trigger" compared to the factory mirrors; it can be very difficult to make fine adjustments because the slightest touch of the control stalk moves the mirrors far too much - lots of overshooting and re-correcting. Now that we've been using these mirrors for a year, the passenger side mirror is starting to vibrate, which makes it difficult to see clearly. I would like to see these two imperfections corrected; for the price, these mirrors ought to work flawlessly.
The mirrors fit perfectly and were easy to install. Extremely pleased with the product after having been frustrated by all the other mirrors I've tried in the past. The only problem I have/had, I paid $30+ dollars for overnight delivery and they arrived after we left for our trip. If ordering on a Saturday doesn't at least allow for a Monday delivery that option should be removed or made very clear during the ordering process. I'm still glad I purchased the mirrors but wish I hadn't wasted the additional delivery fee.
Ray N - 07/31/2020One year and mirrors and fine. As many people say, the manufacturer should improve the design of the retaining screw. Also one mirror was shaking a little and I had to secure it better with wire
These mirrors are easy to put on when the directions are followed. Push on the nut enough to deflect the plastic and the hook will then slip on the mirror edge. Went for a drive in our Roadtrek RV to test them out and could see a car that the OEM mirror could not see behind me.
Purchased these slip on mirrors for my 2006 Chevy Express van because of no OEM towing mirror options available for this particular year van. These mirrors FIT EXACTLY over my stock mirrors, they have a good field of view and seem to be constructed of good materials. I have only two problems with this product, first, the hooks provided to clamp mirrors in place were too short. It took two people to install, one to hold mirror in place while squeezing the back side of eyelet where the nut and hook meet, and one person to screw nut on to hook. If the hook was 1 inch longer it would of been a one person job. The mirror IS in place firmly, but it just seems unnatural for it to be bent in such a way. Second issue I had was passenger side mirror does not extend out far enough for me to see straight down my 30 foot travel trailer. I realize that this has no bearing on the quality of product, it just didn't provide me with a much better view on my particular set up. If I was towing a smaller RV or trailer, it would work better. Overall, great product!
jason - 09/26/2015Didn't stick out far enough to do much good. Bought the CIPA universal fit towing mirrors which work but my mirrors blow back occasionally due to the wind resistance. Also taped them to the car mirror or I think I would have lost them. The CIPA mirrors are flat so offer a lot of wind resistance. Hope to try some CIPA door mount mirrors. Maybe they will give me the view I need and not blow back.
Easy site to use Timely shipping Great fit for my van 08!Chevy express Needed to see around the camper The video on the product was the tipping point the fit was great on there van and so was it on mine
Purchased the LVT-1700 towing mirrors. I was a little doubtful at first, but after getting them and installing them, they worked excellent. I did have a little problem on the installation of them. I was trying to put them on over the top of the standard mirror. As a matter of fact the passenger side mirror went on first. Because of that I then knew what I was doing wrong. Went to the driver's side and slide it from the bottom towards the passenger's door and bingo it fit perfect. I will say that it would help to have two people to install them. I have them on my 2013 Chevy 3500 Series Extended van. I just towed my trailer to our campground with them and they work great. No need to sway back and forth to see if anybody is behind me. To get inside my garage I just fold in the driver's side mirrors with the custom towing mirrors on, no problem. If someone is thinking about getting these I give them five stars. No problems.
Bob B - 05/08/2019They work great, easy to install. I would purchase again.
I love the product that I bought from you guys the mirrors are very well made. They look great! And they do a great job showing what's behind me around my trailer.
The good: Molding over the existing mirror is perfect. These install and un-install from the van in under a minute, and have avery clean install. Great value. Once installed, I have had no issues with them shifting around or loosening. Opportunities: If you are towing a trailer 96 - 102" wide, these don't extend far enough for you to really see down the length of the trailer, close, but not quite. The screw part that secures the assembly is plastic, other reviews raise an understandable concern; I suggest not over-tightening as I have not had an issue. If this part were 1/2" longer it would be easier to but them on, so take your time figuring it out, and make sure not to cross thread.
Fits my 2013 Chevy Express 3500 Extended Passenger Van pulling a 2020 Keystone Passport 2950 camper. Provides extra visibility from sides of vehicle. Easy to Install and take off. No problems at all. Very pleased.
The mirror fit like a champ and the delivery was fast.
Barry C - 07/31/2021I would like to say "Thank You!" for the great product that you carry. These mirrors have made my drivers very happy and now they have a better sense of security knowing that they can see the roads much clearer. I have attached a few photos of the mirrors. Thank you very much!!!
