Mini virginity sacrificed - HELP!

With a subject like that you might wonder where is this nut case coming from? Well, let me take a few moments to try and explain. I was told that I had joined a family when we bought my wife her first mini hardtop last Saturday and on Sunday I order me a Clubman S So as far as sacrificing my Mini virginity it has been relatively painless so far. Some of my family members call me the "Silverback", so I thought I'd let myself be known that way by my new family members, hello family. My wife & I come from the the RVing community. Think a BIG box (40') towing a little box behind it... and that is where the plea for HELP comes from. Is there anyone out there who tows their mini behind their RV? If so, please let me know the details of what your tow vehicle is, how you tow, what type of mini you tow and with what equipment. There is nothing like drawing on the wisdom of the experienced, so the newbee doesn't reinvent the wheel... AHEM! Now that we have "drunk the coolaid" so to speak and are experiencing some major flashbacks while writing this post... I await what words of wisdom may zap my way next...

If the MINI you intend to tow has an automatic transmission, you need to determine whether it can be towed with drive wheels on the ground (and transmission in neutral) or whether the drive wheels must be on a dolly.

Me too. Well, I knew it wouldn't be, but I almost hoped it was

Your salesman will know. You live in Florida and I bet the SA has helped a lot of customers with the same dilema. Get a clear bra installed to save you hood.

Perhaps he can tow it backwards?
