Clearview® Compact Towing Mirrors

Increased Vision With a Small Footprint

Small in size, big in vision

Compact Towing Mirrors are just like a standard Mirror, with the additional advantage of the extra visibility that our towing mirror extension provides.

A large convex single mirror reduces the objects that it reflects, allowing the driver to have a much wider field view and diminishing blind spots.

Like all our towing mirrors, our Clearview® Compacts are true replacement mirrors, designed to use the same holes, fittings, and wiring (when applicable) as your original mirrors for plug & play installation. All Clearview Towing Mirrors® are engineered specifically for each vehicle and feature most of the same functionality as the vehicle’s original mirrors. 

When set to their normal driving position, the mirrors remain unobtrusive during your daily commute when you don’t need extended mirrors, or when you need to fit into tight spaces.

For a clearer view of your set up when towing or reversing, Clearview’s Compact Mirrors extend a full 180mm, extending your field of vision to help see you to your destination safely. 

Clearview Extendable Mirrors are designed for vehicles with canopies, or towing trailers, caravans, boats, and horse floats.

Single mirror models are recommended for vehicles with large canopies or for towing smaller vans. Clearview Compact models are still suitable (and popular) for towing 20ft vans, but will not offer the equivalent visibility that our Next Gen mirrors offer.

Enhancing Your Towing Experience

Clearview Mirrors not only offer safety and legal compliance but also contribute to a confident and stress-free towing experience. Whether navigating busy highways or traversing rural landscapes, Clearview provides the best towing mirrors to ensure you can focus on the adventure ahead.

Technology Meets Towing

Clearview Accessories® has been at the helm of innovative towing solutions since 2006. Our pursuit of integrating advanced vehicle technology into our towing mirrors has made them an indispensable asset for modern touring vehicles. With features such as Outside Air Temperature (OAT) Sensors, GPS, AM-FM radio, Blindspot Monitoring Systems, and 360-degree Cameras being incorporated into side mirrors, Clearview ensures that these technologies are not lost when you opt for our towing mirrors.

Double Arm Design Benefits

The double arm design of Clearview towing mirrors provides superior stability and adjustability. This innovative design minimises vibrations, even at high speeds or on rough terrains, ensuring that the driver has a clear and steady view at all times. The added support from the dual arms also allows for larger mirror surfaces, which enhances visibility and safety when towing or manoeuvring large vehicles. Clearview’s design remains the preferred choice for those seeking the utmost in mirror stability and reliability.

Spare Parts Availability

Clearview provides easy access to a complete range of spare parts, ensuring that users can quickly and efficiently replace components as needed. This extensive availability of spare parts contributes to the longevity and reliability of our mirrors, making them a preferred choice.

The importance of clear, unobstructed vision when on or off road cannot be overstated - especially when it comes to towing.

Whether you’re a seasoned road-tripper, a caravanner, or a hardworking tradie, Clearview Towing Mirrors transcend mere accessories to become an essential component of vehicular safety.

Standard side mirrors often fall short when it comes to providing adequate vision around your vehicle when towing wide loads or with a large canopy installed. The last thing any driver wants is limited visibility, which is where Clearview Extendable Mirrors make the difference. These aren’t just ordinary mirrors – they’re engineered to provide extended vision, essential for safe towing and reversing, but also offer a greater awareness of your surroundings, a crucial aspect for overtaking. In Australia, good rear visibility isn’t just about convenience – it’s a matter of safety and a legal requirement which mandates towing mirrors for anything that exceeds the width of your vehicle.

Towing has never been clearer, and the road ahead never looked better.

Only available for vehicles with pre-existing indicator feature. *Options may vary depending on make, model and year of vehicle.

CAT 6 Indicator option

Asset 1@2x
The Clearview CAT-6 LED Indicator is designed to meet the requirements of ADR 6/00. A CAT-6 Indicator is an optional fitment on all ‘Off Road Passenger Vehicles’ (MC Category) and most ‘Light Goods Vehicles’ (NA Category) but is a mandatory requirement on Light Goods Vehicles over 6.0m in length and all Medium Goods Vehicles with GVM between 3.5t and 4.5t. (Category NB-1). Note: The Clearview CAT-6 Indicator should only be used as the “Sole Side Indicator” on a vehicle, when the vehicle dimensions enable positioning of the Indicator, when fitted to a Clearview Towing Mirror, within the dimensions as prescribed by ADR 13/00 Appendix A Clause 6.5.4 – Installation of Light Signaling Devices – Position. For some Medium Goods Vehicles this may not be possible for the 'prescribed distance from the front of the vehicle to the Indicator (Clause 6.5.4.3)', due to the reduction in maximum allowable distance, from 2500mm to 1800mm.

Why are Clearview Mirrors the Best Towing Mirrors?

When it comes to choosing the best mirrors for your vehicle, particularly for off-road and towing purposes, Clearview towing mirrors remain the most popular options on the market. What sets Clearview mirrors apart and why are they the better choice?

Don't sell your factory mirrors!

We recommend that you keep your original factory mirrors as back up should something happen to one of your Clearview Mirrors, necessitating the need to return it to us for repairs.

This will allow your vehicle to remain roadworthy whilst waiting on your repaired Clearview mirror.

Maintaining your Clearview Mirrors

Regular routine maintenance will help to ensure continued smooth operation and longevity of your Clearview Towing Mirrors.

Maintenance information can also be found in the Installation Instructions booklet provided with the towing mirrors.

Clearview Towing Mirrors® fold inwards or outwards if accidently struck whilst 4WDing or parked. They are designed to lock into place in any of the three pre-set pivot positions;

  • fold towards door
  • standard driving position
  • fold towards bonnet

Clearview mirrors mount securely in the same position as your original mirrors. They are true replacement mirrors, designed to use the same holes, fittings, and wiring (when applicable) as your original mirrors for plug & play installation.

All Clearview Towing Mirrors® are engineered specifically for each vehicle and feature most of the same functionality as the vehicle’s factory mirrors.

Clearview Towing mirrors do not extend or retract electrically.

ADR Approved & legal in all states & territories.

Making the right decision can be difficult! Let us help you with making the right decision to suit your Towing needs!

Why do I need Towing Mirrors?

Drivers must be able to see down the full length of the vehicle and caravan or trailer. Some of the most common crashes on our roads are caused by caravans merging or changing lanes and clipping the front of the vehicle travelling behind it. Caravan Towing Mirrors help prevent these crashes from occurring by providing the driver with visibility of the full length of the car and trailer.

Can I install a camera instead of Towing Mirrors?

Installing a camera on the rear of the caravan is not sufficient as they help provide visibility of traffic behind you, but do not replace the need for mirrors. If the driver cannot see down the full length of the vehicle and caravan or trailer, it may result in enforcement action being taken by Police.
