The 4-pin round connector that includes the transmitter for the Custer Wireless LED Tow Bar Light # LIW-LDTL will plug into the 4-pin connector on your motorhome and then transmit the signal to the light bar.
If you do not have a 4-pin round connector on your motorhome, you would need to add one. You can do this using the Pollak 4-Pole Round Wiring Socket # PK11404. Once you have the plug, you then need to route 16-gauge wire # 16-4B-1 to those pins into your current wiring.

When installing the Replacement Breakaway Switch # RM-650898 for your EvenBrake 9300 supplemental braking system you will need to use the Replacement Wiring Harness for Breakaway Switch # RM-650899. These will be the two parts you are going to need to install the switch. view full answer...
Are you certain it is a Pollak PA66-ND40 as opposed to a Pollak PA66-MD40? The only reason I ask is we do have a replacement for the MD40, which is the Pollak Replacement 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector Socket # PK11893-11933 which we know has been a replacement for Sprinter RVs. I have been unable to find any type of reference to a ND40 connector. view full answer...
To adjust the height of the mounting bracket on the Fulton F2, part # F1413040134, you need to loosen the bolt behind the bracket (which it sounds like you have) as well as the bolt in the middle of the bracket. Take a look at video that I have attached for you.
Make sure to tighten both bolts back to spec per the instructions after adjusting the height. view full answer...
I've attached the installation video for the Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit # 521876-1 below where Ryan will talk about cutting down the tip of the forward facing bolts about 1/8" at the 12 minute mark. At the 12:38 minute mark he'll show you how to install the U-bolts. These bolts are an essential part of the installation and I do not recommend towing your 2002 Mini Cooper until the U-bolts have been installed. view full answer...
There are 2 metal rings welded to the Curt Trailer Hitch, part # 11130, on each side of the receiver to attach safety chains. You will have to reach up behind the bumper fascia to connect the safety chains.

I have good news for you - the Thule Short-Roof Adapter Kit for Traverse Roof-Rack Feet TH487 is NOT needed for you to install the Thule Roof Rack on your 2019 Mini Cooper hardtop with four doors.
You have made a great choice with this roof rack as it is the one I would strongly recommend for your '19 Mini because of its combination of function, durability and style. The rack that fits your '19 Mini Cooper is made up of the following parts:
- Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711220 (Black)... view full answer...
According to my research you should be able to flat tow your 2017 Mini Cooper as long as it has a manual transmission. If it has an automatic transmission then you will need to use a tow dolly instead. I wasn't able to locate anything in the online owner's manual about flat towing so you will want to verify this in your copy of the owner's manual or by contacting your local MINI dealer.
I recommend using the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1312 as it is confirmed to fit all of the base and... view full answer...
Yes, crossbeam of the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH87FR will replace the factory bumper beam on your 2019 Mini Cooper. This is pretty common with this style of trailer hitch since the whole idea is for it to be as hidden as possible so the manufacturer reinforces that beam enough to handle the impact of a collision like the factory beam would. view full answer...
The Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit, part # RM-154 will work great for flat-towing your Cooper.
Since you have a 3-wire(separate) system, the brake light and turn signals are sent along different wires. You can use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to test your wiring. Have someone sit in the driver seat and run through the functions while you test the wires at the back of the taillights.
I have attached a drawing that shows the wiring diagram for installing this system.... view full answer...
Roadmaster quotes their installers to take around 2-1/2 hours, however an experienced professional should expect installation of the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521882-5 to take around 3 hours.
If you are a novice, you can expect this to take a bit longer as there is some trimming of the shock absorption pad, active air shutter louvers or housing, lower air dam, air deflector, cowling and/or rock guard is required.

The screws on the XTC2 on the bottom of the rack should not be so difficult to thread in that it feels like you are tearing something up. Hopefully it's not too late, but you don't want to crossthread those bolts so back them off and try lining up the rack and screws better so that everything threads easier.
Customers of ours have said that having a second set of hands can help greatly to stabilize the rack while the bolts are being threaded in. view full answer...
According to page 129 of the online owner's manual I looked up for a 2004 Mini Cooper, if it has front wheel drive, it cannot be flat towed as it will damage the transmission, so you will need a tow dolly. The best option for that is from Roadmaster:
- Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes # RM-2050-1
The Roadmaster dolly will allow you to tow your Mini and is the best option because it allows for the tightest maneuverability for a dolly, and because its electric brakes give you complete... view full answer...
When dolly towing a manual transmission vehicle you should follow any instructions outlined in your owner's manual. If your owners manual doesn't specify, then I recommend putting the vehicle in neutral and not in gear. The wheel nets should have no issue holding your vehicle in place on the dolly.
In a worst case scenario this would be less likely to cause any transmission problems.

In order to determine the wiring functions behind the taillights of your 2006 Mini Cooper you will need to use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 if needed. You will have someone sit in the vehicle and run through the turn signal, brake, and running light functions while you test the wires.
I know that on a 2005 model the wires are purple for running lights, black with green tracer is brake lights, and blue with green tracer for left turn signal. On the passenger side the blue with tan tracer... view full answer...
The Saris Bones 2 Bike Rack # SA805BL you were looking at is made out of a durable injection molded plastic which will hold up just fine in the rain.
With that being said Saris does recommend removing the # SA805BL from your vehicle when it is not in use.
I included a video of the Saris Bones 2 # SA805BL for you to take a look at. view full answer...
According to page 137 of the owner's manual it looks like you can only use a tow dolly to tow your 2005 Mini Cooper if it has an automatic transmission. Since you have a manual transmission you need to flat tow it otherwise you will damage the transmission. The manual doesn't say anything about what gear to put your vehicle in but I would imagine it is neutral. You will want to confirm this with your local Mini dealer.
For a complete flat towing setup you will need a base plate kit, tow... view full answer...
The video you watched for the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 was installed on a 2016 Mini Cooper, and the missing colors are likely due from a harness change from 2013-2016, which isn't all that uncommon.
Instead, you're going to need to test your vehicle's harness with a circuit tester # PTW2993 for functionality and match the wires to the wire harness based on functionality.
The wire code for # RM-15267 is as follows:
-Green = Right Turn.

Basically from the to edge of the windshield to the nearest edge of the front foot is 4 inches. And then from the center of the front bar back to the center of the rear bar it can be anywhere from 28-1/2 to 45 inches. view full answer...
