The sentiment here about "I'd never tow with my Odyssey" or "Honda doesn't make vehicles designed for towing" is hyper-conservative and misleading. Obviously, I can feel the trailer, so I increase my follow distance and heighten my awareness when towing. Handles well, cruises the freeway at 65-70 and gets 18-20 mpg.

Comes in about 600# under CGVW fully loaded with 2 adults, 2 kids, clothes, loaded coolers, beer, soda, tool box and camp chairs in the van and all camping supplies (and full water tank) in the PUP. I knew I was going to and was a little careless about my approach angle. I've only bottomed out once on a steep gas station driveway. That solution is much cheaper than the OEM hitch.
I have a 4" rise ball mount to level the trailer. Have a Tekonsha P3 brake controller, OEM transmission cooler and U-haul hitch. But if I needed to sleep six with a toilet/shower inside the trailer, I'd probably be shopping for a beefier tow vehicle. We love our Odyssey for towing our PuP that fits within its capabilities. If you exceed the manufacturer's recommendations by too much, it won't be too hard for lawyers to argue that you should be assigned blame if the worst should happen. But there's a sliding scale of safety, and adding weight reduces the margins. I'm not saying you absolutely must follow the manual's recommendation to the pound or else you'll be doomed to crash or break down. It is very easy to tow with the Odyssey, with no hint of handling issues, just a very minor impact on acceleration and braking. At that weight with a 10 foot box, it doesn't have a bathroom, or much else in the way of amenities. Its empty weight is 1050 lbs, and GVWR is 1500 lbs. We chose a Quicksilver 10.0 to simplify towing with the Odyssey. For over 2000 lbs, they recommend sway control. For anything over 1850 lbs, they recommend a weight distributing hitch. For anything over 1000 lbs, they recommend trailer brakes. The transmission and ATF coolers are required for all towing. On page 340-341 they talk about required equipment. For camping you'll probably have a cooler, food, etc. If you add cargo weight, you must also subtract from your tow rating. They generated that table simply by allocating 150 lbs for each passenger. With six occupants (driver and five passengers), the tow rating is 2,750 lbs.

If it's not in the glovebox, you can download an electronic version here: To underscore a point already made, the 2007 Odyssey is only rated to tow 3500 lbs if the van is completely empty: no cargo, no passengers, just a driver.
