Towing a mini

I am new to Minis.....can newer,2017-2019 minis be either flat towed or dolly towed behind a motorhome? If on a dolly,front wheels off the ground can it be a auto trans?

I would flat tow at best, but some people tow with the drivetrain off the ground or pull alon

I see nothing wrong with dolly use. But the front tires MUST me in the dolly. Obviously, secure tightly.
Nothing to damage in the back to ride along following the front. Just remember to leave the emergency brake off..! I'd also leave the trans. in neutral.
