How to Tow a 2017 Mini Cooper S JCW Behind a Motorhome
Question:
I have a 2017 mini cooper S JCW version with hardtop. Do you have a blue ox plate which will accommodate that model?

Expert Reply:
To tow your 2017 Mini Cooper S JCW (John Cooper Works) behind your motorhome you'll need to use a tow dolly like the Demco Kar Kaddy SS # DM9713045. While we do have base plate kits that fit a 2017 Mini Cooper S, the JCW model has an intercooler that sits in the same location as all of the base plates that fit the vehicle which is why they aren't compatible.
If you do choose to use a tow dolly it's hard to beat the Kar Kaddy SS because it's foldable for storage both at home and at the campsite, it comes with disc brakes and required lighting, and it has a steerable axle for better tracking.
