Hello, new To RVing

[Tkroper]

We just purchased our first RV, a 39 foot Newmar Canyon star. Looking for towing options as we want to bring a small car and a dirt bike with us. We have both, Mini Cooper and a Honda dirt bike, just it sure the best way to tow both. Any suggestions welcome!

thanks much!

Welcome from Georgia! There are motorcycle carriers on the market that allow you to flat tow a car also. I'm sure Google is your friend here. I don't have one myself. If you happen to be a member of the FMCA there are a couple ads in the back of their monthly RV magazine every month.

Welcome to RVF, @Tkroper; glad you've joined us here.

As for the best way to tow a Mini Cooper and a dirt bike, two thoughts come to mind; an enclosed trailer that both will fit in and a coach-mounted rack for the dirt bike and a tow setup on the Mini Cooper. I think the MC can be towed four-wheels-down if it is a manual transmission model, though I don't think the manufacturer officially supports the practice.

Seems to me that the coach-mounted rack might be the best option.
