I fitted a rear view camera that stays on when I'm driving on my LHD Ducato and its a big help. My current struggle is to come up with a system to see on coming traffic from the right when stopped at a junction or roundabout that are pitched to the left. I have driven left hookers for 20 years and this is the first time I have had this problem as the habitation door doesn't have a window and it is directly behind the righthand cab door. I try to pull up to a junction looking straight forward but if i don't know the road, the seatbelt has to come of so that i can lean as far forward as possible to see oncoming traffic. I might fit a sideview camera.

I fitted a mirror on the dash that covers that Paul, home made of course
I'll take a pic in the morning (if I think of it) before I go to work and post it here.

I have the concave blind spot mirror on the chevy van but never ever used it because i could see out of the rear windows all along the right hand side,

Mirror was got for newborn baby
It strapped onto rear headrest to see rear facing baby,
I cable tied it to a corner protector that I got with a press or bedside locker or something,
Double sided sticky tape to keep it on the dash, three years later and its still there

Hope this helps

Great job John. I must get onto Fleabay and get a mirror ordered.

Is it flat or concave/ convex?

Convex,

Try local baby shop as its plastic and weighs nothing so easy to support :up

example this one has a back plate so it would be easy to fit

Cheers John, I searched ebag last night and every reasonably priced one had to come from China with a long delivery time. I had the same thought myself about baby shops and will browse the baby shops at the weekend like an expectant father for one.

Excellent job -like it - another example of a motorhomer using initiative with recycling and retaining mementos from the past

Chevy,
If you wear your baby tee shirt going into baby shop you will get the attendant rightly confused :hide:

Will the mirrors from a 2006 ducato fit my 1997 ducato?

Some ganche has drilled the top of my mirrors and added additional mirrors atop, They work great on the left hand side but are loose and useless on the right hand side so far. A wee bit of plastic weld when i get used to the van will help

Has anyone fitted the longer mirrors from say a 2006 ducato into a late 90's van ?
