Should do and I think Wilco sell this type at their stores?? for £7.99??
Why not just go to Wilco,Halfords(bit expensive) or any local car accessory/caravan/trailer store selling them and ask to try them??
At least that way you'll know if they fit??
It used to be that with this particular type they came in two sizes.
Basic car size and ones where the legs were wider for 4x4/vans with larger mirrors but they may be universal now.
The mirror can turn so that it is vertical and doesn't stick out too far.

Thanks Gilburton.
I've ordered the wirrors from the eBay lisypting and guess what. The chap selling is giving me his and they're universal. So I'll keep whichever fit/work the best and if it is his then I'll return the others.
Well......wish us luck we are going to go get the caravan tomorrow. He's meeting us halfway and setting it up on our chosen caravan club site! You can't say fairer than that! Then we get a little handover of what to do fingers crossed. Otherwise we'll be starnded. Lol we are getting everything that he has used for the caravan, so get the Hitchlock and chocks water containers all the cutlery and even a coffe maker. So just taking down our clothes and bedding and will see what we need to upgrade etc.
It's 2 1/2 hrs away so not too far to come back on our first run
I'll send pics and info when we get home.

Good news then. Don't forget some basic drink/ food if you're stopping overnight
Which site are you meeting up at?
I wasn't in the caravan club but used to be in the Camping and Caravanning club .
I don't bother now and just research some sites before we go on holiday.
If it's only around 2 1/2 hrs from you then you can't be far away from me so if you have any problems let me know.

I'm just off the A14 at Burton Latimer nr Kettering.

Thank Gilburton!
That's ever so good of you and puts my mind at ease just a little more.
We are already packed to go and my wife is saying that she thinks I've packed for two better re-check what I can leave at home :-0
