Towing Mirrors Milenco Grand Aero 3
(Preview)
I've been reading the search replies for towing mirrors. Have a question, has anyone used the Milenco Grand Aero Extra Wide Flat Glass mirrors on a Colorado 2018 model? If so has there been any issues with them folding in when passed by a large truck or falling off. Thanks.

Pretty much as the subject says: I do not have confidence in the standard ball hitch for my 2.7T caravan on bush roads or bumpy bitumen roads (especially those with "waves"!) and would like to replace it. Suggestions appreciated.
