Default RE: Towing behind a motor home


We are the proud owners of a '05 mini convertible that we tow behind our motorhome. We use a tow dolly & haven't had any problems in almost a year of traveling. If I had to do it over, I would have bought an enclosed car carrier but we are satisfied with the tow dolly

Hi,
if the car is auto the front wheels will need to be suspended off the ground to avoid damage to the transmission,if it's manual no issues,other than your car will still clock up the same miles as the motor home and make it a high Mileage car.
