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.
