Features:
Extend your field of vision and reduce blind spots with these easy-to-install, slip-on towing mirrors from Longview. By attaching these mirrors to your factory side-view mirrors, you will be able to see past the end of your trailer so that you can safely and easily change lanes, pass other motorists, and park. The reflective chrome plating on the front of each mirror face allows for clear, undistorted images and helps to reduce glare. And the housing of each slide-on mirror is constructed of durable ABS plastic, as are the included components.
These towing mirrors are designed to seamlessly fit the contours of your factory side-view mirrors. Plus, they won't scratch or mark your factory mirrors when mounted. Installation is a snap: Just slide the towing mirror over your OEM mirror and insert the provided arm and hand knob through the back of the mirror housing. Then hook the arm around the inside edge of your OEM mirror. Finally, tighten the hand knob to secure the towing mirror in place.

Made in the USA. These custom-fit towing mirrors slide onto your vehicle's existing mirrors to expand your field of vision.

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.

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.
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 - 03/18/2021I 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 - 02/16/2019The 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 - 08/01/2020Mirror 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.
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.
Mirrors 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.
Didn'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
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 - 07/31/2020The 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.
The product is fine (slide on trailer mirrors). It was the shipping that was disappointing. I took this pic before opening it. Thankfully everything inside was OK.
These mirrors fit on my 2016 Chevy Express van factory mirrors perfectly. My only complaint is the hardware to secure the mirrors is plastic. This makes me nervous, since there is a threaded portion.
I needed to replace my fit all towing extension mirrors for better rear view vision when towing our 8' wide travel trailer. The fit all's vibrated and vision was blurb and removed when not towing. The Longview were a pain to install as the screws that installed them were barley long enough. My wife fixed this issue when she said why don't them on, I have done that for a year and do not plan to change. I drive a Chevy Express 3500 ( 2006)
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.
Works great. They were a little tough getting the bolts to start but got it with a little effort. An extra hand would help
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 - 05/08/2019Mirrors were easy to install and really work well. I installed them on my campervan and they really help me to see what I couldn't see wtih the stock mirrors
One 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
I've had these for just over a year. Iwent with these as the usual "universal" strap mounted ones tend to fall off on the highway. They worked great at first. A year later, the right mirror tends to not stay adjusted - it'll tilt down on it's own. I always adjust them anyway when I first hook up to a trailer, but it does get to he a bit of a pain on lomger drives. If you're the type that stops every 2 hours or so for bathroom breaks, it wouldn't be too much of an issue. If you're like me and like to go 4 hours or so until it's time for gas, stopping every 2 can be annoying. I'd still buy them again though!
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 - 09/26/2015Perfect fit for my 2021 Chevy Van. Than ks!
Slept on nicely but the downfall to this mirror is yes it is small to view out of. The second bad feature of this mirror is I thought that the bolt would have been aluminum with a nut it's only plastic. You have to to bend the tab of the new mirror around the corner to get the nut to reach the plastic bolt which then bends. These plastic bolts will strip very easily.Will be returning them and spending the money to buy the big boat on mirrors.
