A Mini Toad

Anyone use their MINI as a toad? We should be taking delivery of a 33' motorhome in a few weeks. I am interested in anyone's experiences and what method you use (flat towing, dolly or trailer). The size and weight would make it an ideal toad.

Thanks!!

I don't think Mini recommends flat towing. You may need a dolly, Check the owners manual. Also, the people who sell tow bars are a good source of info...Mike

Right you are! I was just looking at that page in the OM last night, and only flat-bed or dolly towing is recommended.

Plus, I'm not sure if anyone's making a full front-end & windshield bra, so your MINI would get pretty banged up from road-debris.
