Welcome to the forum. I haven't looked on your model coach but Have read where the port was hard to find. Most say it is wrapped up with tape and hid behind other stuff under your dash or to the back of the steering column. Good luck in your treasure hunt. Let us know how you do. Bill

Welcome to the forum. The FMCA towing guide does not show the Odyssey to be towable 4 down. You might be able to use a tow dolly but I would check with Honda and your owners manual. When I was doing the research before buying my 2014 CRV I was told never tow it with 2wheela off the ground as in a tow dolly ( have the all wheel drive) I don't know if the Odyssey comes in four wheel drive but it would be somthing I would check out before using a dolly. Well I was curious so on page 595 your owners manual states "Your vehicle is not designed to be towed behind a motorhome. If your vehicle needs to be towed in an emergency, see page 683." I would say tow at your own risk. I had the same problem with my 2012 Civic. Bill

Ron, Yes I can do that but only down to 62-63. At the first slight overpass or grade it will down shift but won't up shift till I get the speed back up. Bill

I think it's funny you stop at a truck stop. You know what the conditions are then you wine. Bill

Welcome to the forum. I always fill the filter. I am most concerned about getting oil to the turbo fast. Bill

I like to use a good shop vac to apply suction while I carefully blow out the recess you might try a small artist brush to get down beside the plug and loosen dirt and debris when using the vacuum. Bill

Brett is right. I would look and see if you can get to the fan through the rear closet floor. I would definitely replace with a greasable bearing. Bill

I have never had a problem. 2003 Bounder 38N. Bill

Let's see OP hasn't filled out profile no information on his rig. Complaining about smelling diesel fumes at a diesel truck stop. "1 only use one parking area! If you feel you need to put your slides out, don't block an adjacent parking slot." I can park and run my bedroom slide out and still walk between it and the next truck but thank you for your concern. "2: Turn your generator off after 10:00, ESPECIALLY DIESELS!" See the second sentence. I want to be there when you go tell the trucker he needs to shut his diesel reefer off. Well since you haven't filled out your profile I don't know where you are. Most states now have laws prohibiting the idling of big trucks past a certain time period. "The sound and smell of your rig makes for a bad night for us who need to stop for a few hours of rest. Flying J will not bother you, but you may run into someone who will make your stop not so enjoyable." Please feel free to come by and register your complaint, please. "Had 3 Motor coaches with FMCA tags at a Flying J in Brunswick GA with slides out, generators running taking up multiple parking slots. Please, think of others when you pull in for the night." Yes what's your point? You can't get "your" parking spot. Perhaps you should stop earlier to get a better spot. "Would you want someone with a noisy stinking gas generator parked next to you?" Wouldn't bother me I couldn't hear him over my loud stinky diesel generator. Bill

I had my towbar done in Perry. Yes great service I would highly recommend Blue Ox I kept seeing some dude in a pink cowboy hat in the distance but my golf cart wasn't fast enough to catch him.

Best answer Yes / No. There are several things to take into account when thinking about a "bigger" tire. You need sufficient clearance between the dual tires in back and clearance to the under structure of your coach. I would talk to your Michelin tire dealer. I would use a dealer who works on big trucks regularly hopefully he will have the knowledge to answer your question. Bill

I think you need to find out why his is moving so much more air. Bill

Why not take a vehicle you will be able to see many more out of the way places that would be hard to maneuver the motorhome. You won't know it's back there. The new V10s are great motors. Bill

I don't have a name for you but did see one this last summer in Main. The motorcycle sat crossways in front of the car. Well I must be boared. http://www.racecityrvproducts.com/Models.htm http://factoryramps.com/products/motorcycle/carrier/hdxldolly.html Bill

You might contact Texas Custom Coach out on 16 at Pipe Creek. I was talking to them this week and they have a great shop and attitude. http://www.texascustomcoach.com/ Bill

I ran into the same thing when I was looking at coaches. Hard to find someone to finance anything over 10 years old. You may have to get creative like some have suggested. Bill

Welcome to the forum. Just wondering why you are looking for these dimensions? Bill

My CRV is auto. I don't need to drive a standard. Bill

Well I had a Honda Civic I towed with a tow dolly but as I type this I am waiting for my 2014 Honda CRV all wheel drive to come out of make ready. I had the dealer install the Blue Ox base plate and wiring harness as part of the deal. Bill

Jim my older shift pad only shows the gear selected not what gear it is in. That is why I had to do an upgrade. Bill

I have the odd unit it will not shift into 6th until it hits 65. I am then running about 1650 rpm. I am at the same rpm in 5th at about 56-57 mph. Elkhartjim and Medico are you sure you are in 6th? When I first got this coach I always had the feeling the speedometer was a little slow. I installed a Banks IQ with a good GPS unit and calculated I was actually going 5.8% faster than the speedometer was showing. Also before I didn't know what gear I was in except by guessing. It now shows what gear I am in. I have checked the GPS with mile markers and it is right on the money. I haven't figured the milage I got on the trip last month (Perry) but last summer on 18 fill ups I averaged 9.966. I was towing my Civic on a tow dolly all the time. Brett I wonder what kind of milage that gentleman got on his coach, the one who complained in the Suspension seminar about having a vibration problem when he was cruising 85+. Bill

Welcome to the forum. What you will learn is most are not driving the same coach. There is a large diversity in size weight and what year, as the Ford engines changed over the years. I think in the overall picture 5-10 is the range you will see reported. I don't drive a gas coach now but I have checked my speedometer and found it was 5.8% slow. You might find you are getting better mileage than you thought but it might go the other way. I usually average about 10 tanks or fill ups to even out the driving conditions. Bill

After you have checked that the vacuum advance is working and set right look for vacuum leaks under load. A lean mixture will cause backfiring and missing. Have you checked the ignition module? Hear are a couple of links that might help. http://www.summitracing.com/search/part-type/ignition-modules/make/gmc/engine-size/7-4l-454 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKCQPlr2k6c Bill

If you want facts . This is a link to a filter test. You might want to read it if you are using a K&N filter. This is the only test that I have seen that used lab test equipment to do a test that is repeatable and to a given standard ISO 5011 test standard was used. http://www.billswebs...rFilterTest.htm I think its interesting that K&N will not release their test data. When you look at their web site they brag about how much more air their filters flow but you can't get them to release test on dirt passed. I have used K&N filters on my old truck but no more. Bill

Can you hear the solenoids make a noise when you try to activate them? If they do, push in on the door a little when someone tries to activate them. Bill
