Expert Answers about Mini Clubman


  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for Mini Clubman 2012
  • For a 2012 Mini Clubman the recommended hitch is the Curt # C11387 which is a confirmed custom fit. This also fits 2011 model. This hitch has a 2,000 lb towing capacity which you'd need to stay under that weight and the towing capacity for the vehicle listed in the owners manual. I attached an install video for this hitch as well. For a ball mount you'd want the part # C45552 and for trailer wiring part # C59236.

  • There are 5 items needed when flat-towing your Mini. You will need base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, lighting for the towed vehicle, and a supplemental brake system.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch For 2009 Mini Cooper S Clubman
  • The trailer hitch that is confirmed to fit your 2009 Mini Cooper S Clubman is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11387. If you will be using this hitch for towing, I recommend the Curt ball mount # C45019 along with hitch ball # C40001 for 1-7/8 inch or # C40018 for 2 inch diameter. You will also need a pin and clip like # F-4. For wiring, I recommend the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59236. This will protect...

  • Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2013 Mini Clubman S
  • The Curt Hitch part # C11387 that you referenced has been confirmed to fit all models of the 2013 Mini Clubman so that means it would work well on your S model. This is a Class I trailer hitch and Class I trailer hitches are designed to handle only 2 bikes at most and you must have a Class I compatible bike rack. And this trailer hitch, the manufacturer requires using a stabilization strap # 18050 for all non-trailer loads. The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed...

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for 2017 Mini Clubman that Can Tilt
  • I checked out pictures of the rear doors of your 2017 Mini Clubman that open out to the sides and since the Swagman Bike Rack # S63400 can't tilt down with bikes loaded it would not allow you to open them. You'd need a bike rack like the Thule T2 Classic part # TH9045 to allow that.

  • Recommended Tow Dolly for 2009 Mini Cooper Clubman John Cooper Works Edition
  • We do not have a fit from any of our manufacturers for baseplates confirmed to fit your 2009 Mini Clubman John Cooper Works model. They haven't had any to test fit, so with the knowledge that it has a longer wheel base and thus changes made to the frame they can't confirm a fit without testing. My recommendation to tow it behind your motorhome is to use the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes - 4,250 lbs # RM-2050-1. This will allow you to tow your Mini without any changes needed...

  • Hitch And Bike Carrier Recommendation For 2010 Mini Clubman
  • The first thing to consider when using a hitch-mounted bike carrier on your 2010 Mini Clubman, is the weight capacity of the vehicle. You can check the owners manual or with your dealership to find out what the tongue weight capacity is for your vehicle. We offer one hitch that is designed to fit your Clubman. It is the Curt Trailer Hitch, part # C11387. This is a Class l hitch and has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. All non-trailer loads - bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth - should...

  • Class I Hitch & Bike Carrier Recommendation For 2013 Mini Cooper Clubman
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11387 fits your 2013 Mini Clubman. The heaviest duty Class I Two-Bike Carrier we sell is the Thule Easy Fold # TH903202 which will support an individual bike weight of 65 lbs each totaling 130 lbs. This heavy-duty e-bike rack has a ramp that lets you load your bikes with no lifting required. It folds up for compact storage, and it has built-in handles and wheels for easy transport.

  • How to Carry 3 Bikes on a 2016 Mini Clubman
  • Bike rack # TH9043PRO mounts in a trailer hitch receiver. That means you need to have a trailer hitch, like the Curt # C11524, installed on your 2016 Mini Clubman. However, this trailer hitch is a Class I hitch and Class I trailer hitches are limited to 2 bikes maximum. The issue is not the weight but how far that weight is from the trailer hitch. Three or more bikes puts weight too far from the receiver and it can damage the hitch and vehicle. You can carry 2 bikes using the above mentioned...

  • Carrying Surfboards on a 2017 Mini Clubman S Model
  • You have two options for the 2017 Mini Clubman S Model for roof mounted surfboard racks. The first option is a targeted, single purpose use rack. For this, I recommend the SeaSucker Surfboard Carrier, part # 298-BX1806. This innovative rack series uses vacuum cup mounts to secure a rack temporarily to the roof of your vehicle, and is able to support 1 surf board. It's not recommended to carry two surfboards on one of these carriers as it can cause the mount to fail. That being said,...

  • Trailer Wiring for 2017 MINI Cooper S Clubman
  • For a trailer wiring harness confirmed to fit your 2017 Mini Clubman S that does not require any splicing you'd want the part # 119250KIT which is a confirmed fit and will work well. It's not a custom fit that matches the connectors of your vehicle, but since it uses sensors instead of splices it will install without any hardwiring. For a ball mount you then would want the part # C45521 and then for a ball part # 19256.

  • Where Does the Rear License Plate Go with Trailer Hitch # C11387 Installed on a 2009 Mini Clubman
  • With the Curt Trailer Hitch, # C11387, installed on a Mini Clubman, the receiver tube is directly behind the license plate area on the back and you are left with 2 options for the license plate. You can bolt the plate to the back of the vehicle using the top holes in the plate and the bottom holes on the vehicle below the receiver opening. This is the method that Curt shows in the installation instructions which I have linked for you.

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2005 Allegro Open Road 32BA on Workhorse Chassis
  • Transmission coolers are not vehicle specific so you can install one on your RV. Generally we recommend going with the largest cooler that will fit in the available space under the hood. Or you could go with a stacked plate cooler that is smaller but more efficient. I actually recommend the stacked plate design because they are so efficient. For a kit that comes with a cooler, mounting hardware, hose, and fittings use # D13403. I have also included a link to our help article on transmission...

  • Recommended Wind Fairing for 2019 Mini Clubman with OEM Crossbars
  • For your 2019 Mini Clubman the OEM roof rack you will just want to go slightly smaller than the 42 inches you referenced for your fairing. I recommend the Yakima WindShield Fairing for Roof Racks - 40" Long # Y05017 which will work great with your crossbars. This fairing has a universal fit where other brands don't always fit OEM racks.

  • Can I Put The Thule Force Cargo Box On A 2019 Mini Cooper Clubman With Factory Rails
  • Yes, you can absolutely put the Thule Force XT # TH6357B on top of your 2019 Mini Cooper Clubman with the factory rails. All you will need is a set of crossbars. For that I recommend the Thule Wingbar roof rack which consists of the following parts. Crossbars - # TH711420 Feet - # TH710501 Fit Kit - # TH145006 Locks - # TH450400 (these are optional but highly recommended) That will be everything you need to be able to install a cargo box like the Thule Force # TH6357B. With this cargo...

  • As long as your 2017 Mini Clubman has a factory roof rack with crossbars that run from left to right the Malone Pilot TC ST part # MPG2103 that you referenced will fit and work well. If you need a roof rack the Yakima roof rack part numbers # Y00408, # Y00145, # Y03536, and # Y06009 is designed to fit the factory flush rails you have that run front to back on your vehicle.

  • Roof Rack and Cargo Box Recommendations for a 2013 Mini Clubman
  • If you just have the side rails that run front to back then you can use the Thule WingBars # TH711200 and the Evo raised rail feet # TH710401. If you prefer the WingBars in black use # TH711220 instead. You could then mount the Ascent cargo box. This box has been discontinued. You might be interested in one of the all new Thule boxes like the Pulse, # TH614. I checked with Thule and the Atlantis 1600 XT will not fit, but Yakima has numerous boxes that will if your Clubman has factory...

  • When Flat Towing a Vehicle Behind a Motorhome How Close to Level Should Tow Bar Be
  • When you're flat towing a vehicle, you want the tow bar to be within 3 inches plus or minus of level. If you're outside that range, you can use a High Low adapter to get you in range. Ideally, you'd be as close to level as possible, but as long as you're within 3 inches one way or the other, you should be fine. If you need a high-low adapter I've linked our selection. The most popular is part # RM-076 from Roadmaster. I've also linked an article to help you determine how much rise or...
