Dinghy Towing a Honda Odyssey Mini-Van

by Reed
(Denton, TX)

I've had input that my Honda Odyssey can dinghy tow behind my 40' motorhome, and I am having Camping World install the proper towing kit on the Honda. Anyone out there already towing a Honda Odyssey? How is it working out? Any advice?

It Works Fine
by: Michael

We've towed ou 2000 Odyssey over 20,000 miles with zero problems. I chose the Odyssey specifically because it would fit parents & four kids + groceries comfortably, be easy for my wife to drive and no lube pumps or driveshaft disconnects needed. Kids are getting bigger so we're now pulling a Toyota Sunrader that doubles as the boys' dorm. The Odyssey is for sale, all set up for towing with baseplate, towbar and light wiring included. Email abwegeurink(at)gmailDOTcom if interested.

Odyssey Towing
by: ed

I have a Honda CRV [same basic drive line] When towing be sure to follow the manufacturers instructions on preparing the transmission for tow.

I never pulled the recommended fuse because you have to be a contortionist to get to the fuses. I've never had my battery go dead, but I do occasionally start the engine and run through the gears when stopped to stretch our legs or take in a view. This vehicle has been a dream to tow over many thousands of miles.

Relax have fun & enjoy!
