- I can help you for sure.
The Blue Ox removable tabs # BX2625 are a twist style friction lock with a keeper pin.
To remove them:
Disconnect the tow bar from the tabs.
Pull the pin on the tab, twist the tab 90 degrees, either direction, then pull it out.
If you have the plastic cover cap I recommend using it to keep debris from getting inside.

- We do carry fit kits for the 2024 Mini Cooper 4 door hard top with factory flush rails. That being said we do not have anything that will be compatible with the old style Thule square bars. The new Thule square bars have a channel on the bottom, and the feet/fit kits we have available will require the mounting channel. So you will need to get a whole new setup if you want to put a Thule square bar roof rack on your Mini. The new roof rack consists of the following parts;

- I checked the owner's manual for towing your 2012 Mini Cooper with the Roadmaster Tow Dolly, Item # RM-2050-1, should be fine. The details were somewhat vague in the owner's manual so check yours for particular instructions because each Cooper model has slightly different features and instructions. This tow dolly includes electric brakes so you will need a brake controller.

- In regards to the Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack for 2 Bikes part # TH83JV, the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the outer most point on the rack while folded down is 41-1/2". This can then be used to determined your turning clearance when flat-towing.

- I have added a photo for you from the instructions showing the location where the base plate arms protrude on your 2012 Mini Cooper Clubman after installing the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1307.
As you can see, you will have to trim the chrome piece on your Mini so the arms have a place to extend out for the tow bar to attach. Speaking of the tow bar, you'll need that along with the wiring and braking systems to flat tow your '12 Clubman, and I'll go ahead and list out below what you need:

- Since Demco uses their own proprietary fittings and the replacement hose # SM99666 is only 7' in length you'd have to build your own air hose using the female # SM99613 and male # SM99614 connectors and air tube from your local hardware store to reach this length. That being said, you can't use multiple adapters with a tow bar to flat tow so you most likely would have no way of attaching the Mini to the motorhome and would have to choose between hauling the Spider or Mini.

- The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # C11130 is designed to fit your 2010 Mini hardtop.
This is a Class l hitch and it has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. A note from Curt states that any non-trailer loads - bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth - should be supported with stabilizing straps like part # 18050. Failure to properly support these loads will void your hitch warranty from Curt. This is the manufacturer note and is a safety precaution. You can use other supporting straps...

- Vehicle owners are protected when installing aftermarket items on their vehicles by the Federal Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act. This act states, in part, that unless the installation and the part caused a problem then the warranty cannot be voided. I recommend looking it up online. Also, it is not unusual for an auto dealership to discourage use of an aftermarket product that costs less than their dealer-installed option.
We offer two hitches for the 2019 Mini Countryman, as long as it is...

If road conditions merit use of chains then they also merit reduced driving speeds, typically 30-mph for most vehicles and most chains.
