Anybody tow their Mini behind a motorhome?

I am contemplating getting a motorhome and was thinking of using my Mini as a toad. Does anybody else do this? Any special mods needed to prepare a manual mini to be towed?

From the looks of the remco website it appears my manual mini can be flat towed with no modification other than the baseplate. Does anybody out there have any knowledge of this not being safe to do?

Is it ever a pain in the **** using a tow dolly? Are they light enough to maneuver around manually after the mini is taken off?

Does anybody out there tow their Mini with all 4 down?? Or know of anybody that does?
