Question:
I have a 2016 Mini Cooper JCW John Cooper Works 2 door front wheel drive manual transmission. What options do you have that can accommodate towing behind a motorhome? I prefer a flat tow over dolly. Either way, can you please guide me on exactly what parts are required package deal to get the job done? Thanks

Hey Joseph! I checked with all of our vendors and there's no way to flat tow a John Cooper Works model of the 2016 Mini Cooper. No one makes a baseplate that will work with the JCW model. You're only option is going to be to tow your Mini with a tow dolly like the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly with Disc Brakes item # DM9713045 or the item # DM9713093 you were looking at.

Hey Joseph, did you end up going with one of the Demco Kar Kaddy tow dollies for your Mini Cooper? Knowing how it worked for you could help others with the same JCW model.
