I don't have or have enver used EMUK mirrors, but I can recommend the Milenco Aero mirrorshttp://www.riverswayleisure.co.uk/acatalog/831595.html
I have a flat mirror on my side & a convex on the passenger side. They fit well no virtually no vibration and the clamp is slim enough that you can still move the car's mirrors while they're fitted.

Friend of mine has some of these EMUK mirrors ... and has complained of vibration from them ... although he does not have an Omega .. he's got a 4X4 thing ...

I use the aero's like Andy

I would recommend the type like Andy has too. I've got the same ones and they seem very secure and don’t vibrate at speeds upto 80 mph (tested on that new test track that lets you take a caravan on Lips Sealed

)

Like Andy says, you can still move the Electric mirror like normal too! Thumbs Up!

I did by some with rubber straps before, but they were crap! Sad

LMF are utter rubbish - dont buy steering idlers from them! You've been warned!

Hehe... I used to think like that till I went away with a mate in his caravan....
Next thing, I go buy one!

Biggest problem is half the old farts that tow them at 3mph everywhere. I dont - I have left cars behind at lights before infact while towing! Grin

Mirror wise, size isn't the problem really, they dont stick out far enought to see round the caravan - caravan bodies are wider than the Omegam hence bigish blind spot without caravan mirrors.
