I am afraid that additional mirrors are a legal requirement, so you will have to bite the bullet so to speak. Can you tell me who fitted the towbar for you, as I have been unable to find anyone who can supply one or a dedicated 13 pin plug kit.

If the van is wider than the car you will need to fit mirrors. Howver as you want to tow safely then surely having the towing mirrors fitted will aid overall visibilty both on the road and when pitching up. Most caravan dealers will have a set of mirrors for would be buyers to fit onto their car befoer buying. I would be surprised if the Milenco mirrors did not fot the Sorento.

Towbar bar was fitted by dealer when i purchased car.Asked if they could put towbar off old car on new one, but was told they couldn't.Towbar has to be registered to car.Thought they'd fitted single one,till he showed me new fitting extention.Local dealer fitted one on other car.
