Should I have a Flat or Standard Mirror?
In the UK there is a historical preference for buying Flat Mirrors as against Standard. We believe this date’s back to when other manufacturers' convex mirrors severely distorted the view, making distance judgement difficult.
Milenco Standard mirrors have typically the same radius as 95% of car door mirrors, they will give you the same field of view as you are used to when driving or reversing, flat mirrors will give a smaller field of view, than your car mirrors.
Whichever Milenco Mirror you choose you will be getting the best quality and the best field of view possible, but if you ask us our opinion which is better, we would say Standard. Milenco mirrors have won every test of Mirrors globally since the mid-’90s, every Milenco mirror that has won these tests has been Standard.
Should I have Standard or Extra Wide?
Typically, our Extra Wide Mirrors are made for 2.5m (8 feet) Caravans, however, if you have a narrow car, you may indeed need Extra Wide Mirrors with a 2.3m caravan. We do see a lot of cars towing with mirrors, that are set too close to the vehicle body when in fact to be compliant with the law, the mirror head should be set out far enough to see fully down the side of the caravan. As a simple test, if you look down the side of your caravan from the rear looking forward, you should be able to see the entire mirror head projecting outside either side of the caravan
