  • Roof Cargo Box Fit Recommendation for a 2012 Mini Clubman with Factory Crossbars
  • I have a great similar solution that I can recommend, but I checked with Inno and they do not have any cargo boxes that are confirmed as a fit for your 2012 Mini Clubman with factory crossbars. The Thule Pulse Medium part # TH614B is a very similar box that Thule does list as a fit that would work well for you. It also has a gloss black finish with two more cubic foot of storage space at 14 feet. I attached a review video for you to check out as well.

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2011 Mini Clubman
  • For your 2011 Mini Cooper the correct base plate kit is the part # 521880-1. This will work well with your Falcon Tow Bar part # RM-520. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground. For lighting you can use the bulb and socket kit, # RM-155, and not have to worry about cutting and splicing into the vehicle wiring. And finally, most states now require supplemental braking in the vehicle being flat towed. The easiest system to set...

  • 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.

  • Can 2013 Mini Clubman S with Manual Transmission be Flat Towed
  • I took a look at the online owner's manual for the 2013 Mini Clubman and it does state that the manual transmission model can be flat towed with all 4 wheels on the ground. I do recommend verifying this information in your copy of the owner's manual, as it's possible you have a different model. In order to flat tow your Mini Clubman behind your Tiffin Breeze RV, you will need base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, tow bar wiring, and a supplemental braking system. For a base plate kit,...

  • Will Malone Roof Rack part # MPG2103 Fit 2017 Mini Clubman
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Trailer Wiring Recommendation for a 2011 Mini Clubman
  • The Curt Wiring Harness part # 56200KIT that you referenced is specifically designed to work on tow vehicles that have separate turn signals. If you look at the picture I attached that shows a close-up of the converter box you will see that the input side of the box, (the left side), has wires that run to the turn signals and the brake light. The converter then combines the circuits so that the output side has the turn and stop circuits on the same wire.

  • Recommended Towing System For 2012 Mini Cooper Clubman
  • To tow your 2012 Mini Clubman if it is a manual transmission, I recommend the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BX1307 along with the Blue Ox Alpha Tow Bar - Motor Home Mount - 6,500 lbs # BX7380. This system comes with the safety cables needed. I also recommend using the Blue Ox Base-Plate and Receiver Lock Kit - Qty 4 # BX88177 to secure your connection and deter theft.

  • 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...
