Our Opinion: -
For more than a decade Milenco towing mirrors have led the market, outperforming all others in comparative product tests. The Milenco Aero towing mirror is the market leader and has been updated and improved to keep this product at the head of the market. The Aero Platinum is the latest development and designed to fit onto the extremely tapered mirror bezels, now found on most vehicles to improve fuel efficiency by reducing aerodynamic drag. With a larger diameter arm and an all-new Tenacious Flexi Grip clamp. This gives the clamp a larger surface area and is extremely flexible to give a secure grip to your cars mirror. Giving you confidence in your towing mirrors.
Milenco use Stainless Steel and brass fitting to help avoid corrosion and make sure their mirrors last.
Aero Platinum Mirrors gives the driver the maximum view possible allowing them to see the top and bottom of the caravan. This is the bestselling towing mirror in the world. It has been designed to offer superior vision and a vibration free view far past your caravan. More importantly also complies with the very latest International regulations, and far exceeds all legal requirements in every EU member state. This mirror also complies with the very latest pedestrian safety laws and is engineered to minimise injury in the event of an accident.
If towing blind in the UK, (without towing mirrors), or Non-Approved mirrors you can be prosecuted by the police and given 3 points on your licence and can be fined up to £1000 per offence (each side).
The Law (Applicable Europe, Australia, and USA)
This is a simple explanation. This is not a fully comprehensive explanation of the law for every country.
If your caravan is wider than your car, it is a legal requirement that you fit additional e-marked mirrors on both sides. In Europe and Australia, you must be able to see 4 metres out from either side of the caravan or trailer 20 metres behind the driver. In America you must be able to see 2.4 metres out from either side of the caravan or trailer, 10.7 metres behind the driver. Effectively both standards specifying the field of view are remarkably similar and just describe it in different ways. What is common to the standard is it specifies a field view from a straight line parallel behind the caravan, or in other words you must be able to see down the side of the caravan. The simplest way to ensure you are legal is to ensure your Mirrors are wider than the caravan, so if you look from behind the caravan ensure you can see both mirrors sticking out.
Like the slogan says, "if you can't see my mirrors, I can't see you" (and you are breaking the law).
If your car is fitted with door mirrors approved to UN46.2,46.3, or 46.4 (ADR14.2) was a new car after 26th January 2007, your towing mirrors may project up to 25 cm beyond the widest point of the caravan. For older cars, your mirrors may project up to 20cm.
What the Manufacturer says:-
Since its launch in 2006, the Milenco Aero Mirror has offered class leading, unrivalled performance, versatility, and ease of use, making it the best-selling towing mirror in the world.
Continuous improvements over the years up to the Aero 3 (3rd generation) Mirror have been achieved as vehicle technology has evolved.
Building on these continuous improvements, we are pleased to announce the launch of the new for 2021 Aero Platinum Mirror.
The Aero Platinum Mirror is an innovative new design, specifically developed to securely fit to the extremely tapered mirror bezels, now found on increasing numbers of manufacturers vehicles to improve fuel efficiency by reducing aerodynamic drag.
One of the key developments of the Aero Platinum Mirror is the inclusion of new flexible, rubber faced stainless steel, sprung loaded gripper plates. These are over 50% larger than the standard Aero 3 mirror pads. This design enables the gripper to ‘form’ to the shape of the vehicle mirror bezel. This significantly increases the surface contact area, providing improved grip and stability to the towing mirror. The Platinum clamp has also been enlarged, now accepting vehicle mirror bezels up to 25mm in thickness. Also now fitted with a larger diameter arm, this offers even further stability to the mirror, and has adequate reach to be used on caravans up to 2.55 meters wide.
The Platinum Mirrors are engineered from the very best quality materials to ensure robust durability. Stainless steel and brass being used in key areas to ensure reliability and also to prevent corrosion from road salt. The mirror glass is the highest quality chrome glass available to ensure an exceptionally long life.
The Aero Platinum Mirrors have been engineered, designed, manufactured, and tested to the most demanding of standards, ensuring that they offer superior performance, and a perfect fit to 100% of vehicles to date.
