Extension Mirror for Dodge Caravan

We have just purchased a new Hybrid Trailer and it's become obvious very quickly that I need extensions on our mirrors. I know there are some universal mirrors out there, but I was hoping someone might be able to direct me to some that are a custom fit.

It's not actually a Caravan, but a 2009 Town and Country however for mirrors it's probably the same thing.

If anyone has found a good solution that works for them, I'm all ears!

Thanks.

    Thanks for the suggestions for mirrors. I'll take a look. If anyone else has more let me know.

    not necessarily so. depends on length, weight and frontal area.
    my 24' hybrid easily exceeds the van's specs.

    the Jayco 23J hybrid had a brochure "dry" weight of 5050lbs., a "dry" hitch weight of 765lbs., a GVWR of 6500lbs. and a length of 25'.

    so, unless you know which hybrid the OP bought, you can't say that it can tow it "just fine".

    You might want to try www.chryslerminivan.net. They can be a useful resource.

  • Check into etrailer. I have the cipa door mirrors. They are the same as the mckesh mirrors that people use. Work good for my little truckster.

    Hope it isn't that big of a hybrid. Those minivans don't tow very well. I had an older one and struggled with a larger uhaul.
