Telescopic mirrors initial thoughts

Just thought I’d share my thoughts on these as haven’t seen them posted anywhere else. They’re from designdevelopmenteng.

The silver nut is slackened using the included tool (more on that later) and the arms can then be adjusted in and out and locked back in place.

I also got the adapters that allow the mirrors to be tilted 90 degrees to give abit of extra length when towing. The adapters are plastic but are sturdy and tough.

So what’s it all like? The adapters are great and do exactly what they’re suppose to. The arms are really well made and look the part in my opinion. Initially I found the wrench for adjusting them a little bit of a pain because it slips off the nut easily. However I think this is actually a very clever design to stop them from being over tightened.

Worth it? (I got these second hand) I’ll be honest the arms are very expensive to buy new and if I didn’t see a second hand set I’d have probably just gone for the adapters (also quite pricey for what they are) I haven’t put them to test with the caravan on the back yet but I do think it’s some seriously well made stuff. The previous owner did tell me he had to get some upgraded springs to stop the arms from folding in over 60mph but the manufacturer did mention these are an early set, so hopefully they’ve rectified this now.
