Have towed a van few times, but not in an Omega. But I did use mirror extenders, double view did not really bother me.

What did bother me was fracking great big thing on tow bar slowing me down  ;D

....
I know they are a legal requirement, I personally hate seeing two of everything either side of the car.
Never been a problem, you just get used to where you should be looking ....... practice by using them  ;) ;)

Omega mirrors are big enough to see either side of most caravans in my opinion but obviously opinions will differ.  ....

It's the width of the towcar that matters, not the size of the mirrors. My R Class is somewhat wider overall than the Omega, but using extended mirrors still allows you to see that bit further behind you than without. You need extended mirrors to see behind you properly!
