Hello Leila, thanks for reaching out. Sounds like you are looking for towing mirrors to add onto your van. Like something that clamps onto the factory side mirror to give you more visibility. Is that what you had in mind? If so, we do have some great universal mirrors that can work for virtually any application. For that I recommend the following:
- CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors - Clamp On - Qty 2 # CM11980-2
If you are looking for something different just let me know. Or if you can tell me the year, make and model of your van that will help too.
