I have been towing 50 years and I'm not convinced towing mirrors are that essential. I would go as far as to say I hate them, they are more of a liability. Good observation through most normal mirrors works as well or better than towing mirrors at least on UK roads. Not many UK roads are without any bends, on the bends you can get a good view behind at each curve in the road - I make good use of that to look behind, plus what I can see through the caravan's front and rear windows. The car is not much narrower than the caravan, so I can almost see the caravan's rear corners anyway, even when the outfit is straight. I do though always carry towing mirrors.
