Towing Honda Odyssey 4 wheels down
I am new to RVing. I want to tow a Honda Odyssey 4 wheels down. I need a vehicle that can transport a wheelchair so my vehicle options are very limited. Can the Odyssey be modified with a Remco trans...

You are right that it is your nickel.
Interesting what Remco states on its site with respect to a 2008 - confirms your view. We went through all the rigmarole with our Escape (our two prior toads had a transfer case with neutral) and I decided to go back to a transfer and will now only tow with one and no restrictions. BTW, I agree the Odyssey is a good vehicle. So is my 2014 Town & Country Limited.

Notes
Towable as is with speed and/or distance restrictions. Please see Owner's Manual for confirmation and procedures.
It is not recommended to tow this vehicle over 65MPH
When towing for an extended period of time, start the vehicle as often as possible and allow it to run for five minutes to prevent battery drain.
Officially from both Honda and REMCO the vehicle is not towable. However, we at Remco have a large number of customers who are flat-towing that vehicle behind their Motor Home and they are not having any issues. Follow the "Emergency Towing" procedures in the owner's manual to a "T" except ignore the restrictions and follow those procedures each and every time you tow. NOTE: If you choose tow your Honda, and have any damage to the Transmission as a result, you will have to pay for that expense out of pocket. It is nothing that Honda or Remco will warranty. Also, it should be noted that Remco sells no aftermarket product (Lube Pump or otherwise) to make this car towable.
