TOWING MIRRORS TESTED !

What grabbed my attention initially was that these extendable mirrors did not look like an add-on ; they looked like they were always part of the vehicle and I was surprised to learn these are a DIY kit , so if you ’ re handy with some basic tools , you won ’ t require a mechanic to install either of these sets of mirrors .

Both the TM2 and TM3 mirrors come in a chrome and satin black option , both have a two-piece mirror section , with the bottom being convex to give greater visibility , and come fitted with or without indicators , depending on the vehicle .

The TM2 mirrors are OCAM ' s most popular .

The mirrors are definitely larger than a standard side mirror , so as I jumped into the driver ’ s seat , I expected to have my vision beyond these mirrors impacted . However , these mirrors did not impede my vision at all . They were both perfectly mounted , with just the right amount of offset so my focus when looking to the rear was outstanding . I couldn ’ t wait to get moving and test them on road .

THE TEST The first car up for the test was the 200 Series Cruiser , fitted with the TM2 mirrors , and they were impressive . Fully extended , there was no shaking about , and the 200mm-wide mirrors gave more than enough rear vision .

While driving , I felt extremely comfortable . My usual glances in the mirrors while driving didn ’ t require a double check – I saw exactly what I needed effortlessly .
