What towing mirrors do you all recommend, we are towing a Bailey S7 which is 7'6" wide.  Any recommendations would be gratefully received.  Thank you.

Milenco aeros anyday. A bit on the expensive side but well worth it. Lots of adjustment even outwards, and very steady...

Got my vote to ,but I have the grand aero mirrors as I like to have a wide view, very stable as long as you put the brackets as far apart as possible.

I have tried three different types of towing mirror in the past and finally found the best for stability and clear view which are the Milenco Grand Aero mirrors with the two top clamping screws. Also if you happen to change your towing vehicle in the future they should be adaptable which I have found the case so although they may not be the cheapest on the market you only have to buy them once which you save in the long term.

Yet another vote for the Millenco Grand Aeros, flat or Convex (which I can recommend), but like diesel steve says, - with the extra wide arms. I too have a Series 7 Bailey and I couldn't get a proper view all the way down both sides with the standard arms. Here is the link.
