I have a solution for you, but unfortunately because of the size of the 2004 Mini Cooper there is not a 2" hitch available for this vehicle; this is mostly down to the Class of the hitches that have 2" receivers not being rated for this vehicle.
It sounds like you're just looking to carry some hitch mounted accessories with a 2" receiver shank, so as long as you're not going to be using this to tow anything you could use the Curt # C11126 which has a 1-1/4" receiver. Once you've got the... view full answer...
When a flat-towed vehicle is different in height from the RV pulling it you can use a high/low hitch adapter like # RM-076 to allow the tow bar to remain level when connected at the RV and toad. Tow bars should never be more than 3-inches under or over level.
The linked page displays all of the high/low adapters we offer which range in their drop dimension from 2- to 10-inches of drop.

On a 2012 Mini Clubman you will have to trim the front fascia to install base plates on the vehicle. There is no modification you can do to get around it. If trimming is something you just do not want to do, or cannot do (if the vehicle is leased for example) then the best thing to do would be to use a small car trailer to carry the vehicle.
If trimming is acceptable then starting with the base plates, # 521880-1, you will then need a tow bar. A great compatible tow bar is the Sterling,... view full answer...
When it comes to installing a tow package on your 2013 Mini Cooper The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 1-1/4 inch # EH47FR does not come with a ball mount.

That's a good question but a wiring converter is not needed to install the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 on your 2015 Mini Cooper. Since it has separate lighting and your motorhome has combined lighting you can add Tail Light Converter # 118158 if you want to retain your Mini's separate turn and brake signals but it isn't a requirement.

You can certainly do that, but you'll need to run a circuit to the vehicle's positive battery terminal to provide power for the trailer brakes.

I'll link you to a video that runs through how the # ETBC7L kit works, as well as... view full answer...
