Make sure you stick to the weight limits and the Odyssey will tow it just fine.
One thing to mention is that we added rear air bags to help with those bumpy roads and we went by the Odyssey manual all the way with the towing requirements.

I am like PopBeavers would have thought it would be better then that.
For our trip last year, 7 to 8 months, from Fl up through Tn, Va, WV and Ga. Then down through AR and Tx we averaged 13 MPG towing a heaver 2720 SL. We had some elevation around 7000 feet but most was 3000 to 6000. We have a Dodge crew cab the seats 6 with fiberglass topper. Its four wheel drive and we had a 10 foot jon boat on top of the topper. Truck cargo plus two adults was close to 1000# and the TM was near 4000#.
Both the TV and TM have been put on a diet for this year.
