What can I tow with my Honda Odyssey?
We have a 2013 Honda Odyssey and are interested in getting our first camper. Getting a new vehicle is not an option, and we have 3 small children. So far I have only looked at pop ups, but I just fou...

I agree the pop-up is the way to go. In addition to the truck I use to two my TT I have an Odyssey as a family vehicle. I wouldn't want to tow much more than a pop up with it. Like someone mentioned it's not only the weight but the wind resistance. Also, when calculating out the max payload don't forget all the stuff in the van. These vans can hold a bunch of people and things.
There's something my dealer told me once that kind of went in one ear and out the other (since I own a truck to tow with). He said if an Odyssey rolls into their dealership with a receiver hitch and not Honda "blessed" tow package, your tranny warranty is voided. This is regardless of what you are at the dealership for. They "flag" you in the computer and you are out of luck. Again, this just came from one service guy so verify it on your own if you like. And the main point is if you plan on doing any towing it's probably worth a call to Honda to make sure everything is done right (if you're still under warranty, of course).
