Camco Tow-N-See Mirror | Features Quick and Simple Installation & Attaches to Existing Side Mirror | Perfect to Add to RV Accessories, Truck Accessories, Car Accessories & More | Convex Style (25668)

I bought 1 of these, then a 2nd one after testing the first. So I was happy enough with the Tow-N-See to buy that 2nd mirror, and got 2 for less than the price of a single, more expensive type of towing mirror with straps and door hooks, etc. As noted in another review, the Tow-N-See may intersect the lip around the mirror of your vehicle, depending on how "deep" that lip may be and how you have the factory mirror adjusted. You want to mount the suction cup as far out on the mirror as possible to get the widest view. Depending on your vehicle, that lip may hit the bar of this mirror at certain adjustment angles. However, if you buy the wideangle "Convex" mirror (not the other Tow-N-See model which is flat, not convex) this should be less of an issue. It "sees" wide enough even when not at optimum adjustment due to the wideangle convex view. Anyway, if in doubt, try it and if it won't work, amazon will take it back.Tips for mounting: clean your mirror with windex or similar product. It will not stick well to a mirror with dirt/dust on it! Clean the suction cup too if dusty. The suction cup may be slightly deformed at first; try wetting it slightly, and/or warming it on your hand, or in your hot car for a few minutes. This makes it more flexible and increases suction. It will not mount well at cold temperatures. Make sure the screw device on the back of the suction cup is unscrewed most of the way before attempting to install. If you unscrew it too far, it will come off, no big deal, just put it back in the slot/hole and screw it in a bit. Press the (dampened, warmed) suction cup against the (clean) mirror, flat/flush as possible. Turn the screw device until quite tight. It's not hard but may take a little practice, and may drop off the first time or two you try to put it on. Take a test drive BEFORE leaving on your 300-mile camping trip to make sure you've got it on there right. Use the tether (you loop this stretch cord over your car's mirror), it will save you and your Tow-N-See if you have a problem with the suction cup.The 2 problems I had, both not too big a deal: 1. On a Toyota SUV, in a strong headwind, driver's side mirror was forced by the wind into its most "inward" position by the Tow-N-See being installed, with that extra drag on the factory mirror. I could still see with the towing mirror though, due to the wide-angle/convex construction. There is a clutch or safety in the Toyota factory mirror for accidental bumping or over-adjustment like this, so there was no damage to the factory mirror, I just adjusted it as normal once the towing mirror was off of there. YMMV. 2. I was driving into higher mountain elevations (7000 feet) after installing at lower elevations. One mirror lost its suction and dropped off (saved by the tether, it just banged into the side of my car with no damage to car or mirror). I stopped and also found the other mirror was getting "loose", i.e. I could tighten it a bit more than when I installed it that morning. I believe the lower air pressure (and possibly lower temperature) at high elevation caused this change to the suction. So check those mirrors once in a while if you are climbing in elevation while traveling.I really dislike the alternatives in towing mirrors, too expensive and straps or hooks everywhere. I know some people prefer the other kind though. These mirrors are good enough for my purposes of towing a camper behind an SUV. I drove 800 miles on a camping trip and only had the 2 minor problems mentioned above. There is slight vibration but not a big problem. I'd rate them 4 or 5 stars if they made the bar adjustable or angled around that "lip" of the factory mirror, and maybe an option to lengthen it slightly, but this would probably introduce more issues of drag/stability.

The suction doesn't last and the keeper strings are not very strong. We bought both the Camco driver-side and passenger-side models. One Camco keeper string has broken already, so we also tie an additional keeper twine on them for safety. We have to duct-tape them to the pickup mirrors or else they start to sag and then fall off. Our pickup has automatic mirrors which adjust when you turn on the engine to each driver's preset position for normal driving. So, to duct-tape the Camco mirrors so that they point correctly when towing our trailer, I have to get in, close the door, start the engine. Then I adjust the truck mirrors so that the attached Camco mirrors point correctly to see around the towed trailer. Then my wife duct-tapes the Camco mirror stems to the pickup mirrors to keep them there. Then she climbs in the passenger seat and we can head out. This whole procedure is a pain and the only reason we didn't return the mirrors is because we haven't found anything better. We have tried the strap kind and didn't like them.

Ok, I read the negative reviews and positive reviews. Ordered anyway after calling Camco and talking to their rep. Apparently the negative reviewers never contacted Camco as they were very helpful and forthcoming. They said they were unaware of multiple failures. Being from a mechanical background I disassembled mine. The problem with breaking while tightening is from gross over tightening. There is no stop to prevent this. The toothed nylon drive for the suction cup is being stripped out by excessive force. For those complaining about suction cup holding but mirror move down vertically, that is most likely also from over tightening. The tightening mechanism end is enclosed and secured by the rear portion of the suction cup. So continuing to turn the knob after suction cup is at full grip causes the tightening mechanism to break free and slip inside the suction cup. This allows the cup to remain stationary and the weight of the mirror to rotate down. Over-tightening can also make the mirror fall off going down the road as the suction cup as been pulled past it max grip shape and actually loses suction.... think from ( to this <You just have to rotate knob CCW (suction cup moves outward) until suction cup is flat, edges not quite touching the black housing. Press the suction cup against the vehicle mirror by gripping the black housing and then turn the knob 2.5 turns CW. Look at the words embossed on the knob to know how many full turns you make. As there will be some variance, check that it is secure and if not remove and reapply using 3 turns CW if necessary. I tested it on the car at 70 mph + and then placed it on my bathroom mirror with a heavy cotton bath sheet size towel hanging on it for 4 days without it moving. Maybe wear factor will cause eventual failure but so far I am satisfied with the design and function of this Camco mirror. I would suggest that Camco make the flats on the toothed suction cup mechanism smaller to increase tooth width to make it harder for teeth to break under over-tightening and a positive stop to limit tightening. I just don't see that this mod is necessary, IF care is taken. Photo 1) width of teeth suction cup mechanism(SCM), 2) suction cup mechanism, 3) geared drive for SCM inside the adjustment knob(note flats to prevent SCM from rotating)I will update after a couple of road trips. Vibration and wind buffering over time may change my mind on functionality.

For years my dad had door mount mirrors for our trailers. They where bulky and vibrated like crazy. These are light weight and move with modern vehicles power mirrors. This means no one has to get out and adjust the mirrors you just move your power mirrors until they are aligned. The build quality is pretty good. Like others have mentioned don't over tighten yours.. I snapped the one past it's tightest point. But other than that worth having to keep you safe.

WE bought these as thought being able to adjust them on the car was great but they are genuinely rubbish, firstly they fall off regularly, the suction cup struggles to get a good bond. The other major issues are the mirror size, it is tiny, you cant get a good view of the caravan and the mirrors have started to fail, like old bathroom mirrors, the glass has gone patchy and pitted.The worst issue is the fact that they are on your driving mirrors, the mirrors on our Kia wobble a bit and so the towing mirrors wobble but much worse, they also block a huge section of mirror making the drive dangerous at times. They have today gone in the bin and been replaced.

These are very useful towing mirrors but my only complaint is that the mirrors are a little too small and the passenger side mirror 'objects' are much too far away. They mount and grip perfectly, and the mechanism is very well made and easy to secure. The only time the mirror dropped was when I didn't clean the mounting surface first! Put over 3000 kms in one round trip with these on, at highway speeds, high winds and rain storms, and never a problem. For a small vehicle with a small RV in tow these would be perfect. For our GM Canyon and a 22' RV, not so much, unfortunately :-( Too bad the mirrors aren't a couple inches larger, they would be perfect.

Wasn’t sure what to expectBecause of mixed reviewsBut I’ve used it 3 times at speeds up to 120km/hZero vibrationIt held on the mirror very wellThe time it got wet it was very easy to removeThat’s my only concernBut it didn’t fall off when I was drivingI’ve orders the drivers side nowSo far highly recommendSo easy to adjust using power mirrorIt does cover much of the vehicle’s mirrorBut with it on it wasn’t a big problemUpdateSo the day I posted the reviewI noticed a problemWith the mirrorContacted customer service within 3 daysThey have shipped a replacementWhat can I sayGreat productAmazing customer support

i like them, they are a bit small but they serve the purpose, super easy to install.
