How To Choose The Right Mirror System For Your Vehicle
9th May 2023
Here are some tips on how to choose the right mirror system for your vehicle:
Consider the size of your vehicle:
The size of your vehicle will determine the size of the mirrors you need. Larger vehicles will require larger mirrors to ensure you have a clear view of what’s behind you.
Choose the right type of mirror:
For recreational vehicles, various mirror types are available, including flat mirrors, convex mirrors, and towing mirrors.
Although they offer a clear view, flat mirrors have a small field of view. Although they provide a larger field of view, convex mirrors can distort images. When towing a trailer, towing mirrors are intended to offer a better view.
Check the mounting options:
The mounting options for your mirror system will depend on the type of vehicle you have. Some vehicles have built-in mounting points for mirrors, while others require additional brackets or adapters.
Consider the quality of the mirror:
The quality of the mirror is important for ensuring you have a clear view of what’s behind you. Look for mirrors that are made from high-quality materials and have anti-glare coatings.
Consider the shape of the mirror:
The shape of the mirror can affect your visibility. Square mirrors provide a larger field of view but can be more difficult to adjust. Round mirrors are easier to adjust but offer a smaller field of view.
Choose mirrors with adjustable features:
Mirrors with adjustable features like electric controls or manual adjustments can make it easier to get the perfect view.
Check the legal requirements:
Different countries have different legal requirements for mirror systems on leisure vehicles. Make sure you check the requirements for your country before choosing a mirror system.
Choose a reputable supplier:
When choosing a mirror system for your leisure vehicle, it’s important to choose a reputable supplier like Magnum Vehicle Solutions.
