Well, after reading my manual, having hitch installed, adding coolant at Honda dealership, and taking into consideration all advice and info posted here, yesterday I purchased a 2007 Roadrunner( Sun Valley). this is the model and yr camper we purchased.. might even be the actual unit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kG_8_kimilw We towed it home carefully using the Odyssey. The drive home involved travelling on the Cabot Trail NS over the most hilly and steep parts of the Trail.. approx. an hour and 15 min drive. There were 4 people in the van..not the actual 4 who will be travelling usually but an equivalent weight. We had no problems on this short drive but we dont expect either to travel on any steeper terrain than that..far less in fact.
one poster wondered if we were planning to use the trailer mainly for sleeping or for living space. The answer is mainly for sleeping and eating on stays of short duration. If the weather is bad we will just move on somewhere else in Atlantic Canada or spend time doing indoor things..movies museums, exhibits, etc and visiting family allover. Thanks again for all your help. Will share anything of interest pro or con as we see how this works out.
That's good to hear. I'm sure that most of the systems in your van should have no problem really with a smaller trailer.
Bear in mind that I am not one of those that says or said you could not tow with the Odyssey. However, Please please please look into an aftermarket transmission cooler. You will be surprised how inexpensive they can be. I would highly advise you to get the largest one you can fit and have it installed on your van.
