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...

We had a 2010 odyssey with the factory towing package for four years. We bought it new and put just over 100,000 miles on her. During that time I towed a 2006 17' key west boat very often. Probably averaged 5-6 trips per month with the average drive being 25-30 miles each way to the boat ramp. Several trips to Miami from Central Florida as well.
It towed great! The rear independent suspension added further comfort to the tow. Never did I have problems with the temps, engine or transmission. I did have to change out the brake rotors twice and resurfaced all the time. Those vans like to eat them anyway.
Now after moving to a truck and a travel trailer, I would tell you to stay with a pop up for sure. I would not want to tow a taller travel trailer with the van even it it was light weight.
A pop up will be a comfortable tow for the entire family. We almost bought one ourselves when we had the van.
Good luck and make sure you change out the tranny fluid often.
