Question:
I want to have a base plate mounted to my 2012 mini cooper for towing behind an RV. I think a site suggested you have an installation guide to find someone in my local area. I live in Port Charlotte FL 33980. If you have any info on an installer in my area. Id be grateful.

Hello Linzy, thanks for reaching out. The base plate I recommend for the 2012 Mini Cooper is the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1307. This will fit all models except for the JCW model.
We do have installers in your area as well. I recommend checking with Race Ready Auto Repair in Port Charlotte, or with Horners Auto Repair in Punta Gorda. Both locations have experience with base plate installs.
I have provided a link below to our installer locator. You can enter your zip code and see the full list of installers nearest you.
I hope this helps. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to assist.
