Are towing mirrors a legal requirement? Its just that our big Toyota Hiace Regius has massive mirrors and we can see the back of the caravan really well without them...infact putting towing mirrors on makes reversing a bit off putting.

As a general rule if your caravan is wider than your towing vehicle extended mirrors are a legal requirement Alex.
