Hi TNLAW

Congrates on your first trip.  My wife and I made quite a few mistakes the first time also.  As far as the keys are concern, we too could not leave the campsite becauseon our first trip we left them behind.  Our solution was to keep a set in the glove box of our towing vehicle.  This way we never forget.

Speaking of Tow vehicles, I notice that you are towing your TM with a Honda Odyssey.  I know it has the 3.5 240 HP engine.  I was thinking of replacing my towing vehicle and have been investigate various SUV's

I have looked at the Pilot which has a 3500 towing capacity, and 4500 capacity for a boat ( I really dont know why there would be a difference....maybe someone would know).  Since the Pilot is based on the Odyssey, are you satisfied with the performance of the Honda in towing your TM??

Although I have a 2619 with a dry weight of 2500 lbs, I understand that when normally loaded it is closer to 3200lbs and was wondering if the Honda pulls it well up hills etc.

Again good luck and hoping to hear from you
