Question:
I have a 2006 Mini cooper convertible that I am towing behind an RV. I would like to know the wiring kits you offer for the vehicle lights. Thanks,

We actually have a decent amount of wiring kits that you can install on your 2006 Mini Cooper to flat tow it.
If you plan on flat towing it frequently then installing a tail light wiring kit like the Roadmaster # RM-155 which uses a 4-Way to the motorhome or the Roadmaster # RM-152-LED-7 which uses a 7-Way to your motorhome is what I recommend using. After the initial installation all you'll have to do is plug in the wiring from the front of your Mini Cooper to the back of your motorhome.
If you only plan on towing a few times a year or you don't want something permanent on your Mini Cooper then we have a range of removable light kits such as the popular Magnetic Optronics # TL21RK or the Demco Suction Cup Mount # DM36MV that attached to the inside of your window.
I've attached videos for the parts mentioned above as well as a link to our selection that you can check out.
For a complete flat towing setup you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. If you do not have all of these components just let me know and I can make some additional recommendations for you.
