We're getting a popup RV camper and will need to upgrade our 2003 Honda
Odyssey so we can tow with it. This requires a transmission cooler and a
power steering cooler. Any idea what this will cost at the local Honda
dealer? I can buy them online and the directions don't look particularly
difficult (if I can remove the bumper by myself). Anybody done that?
Suggestions?

Thanks for any info,
David

Curly...dunno, it's just what Honda says is needed on the Odyssey for 3500
pound tow capacity. I suppose it's to keep the power steering from
overheating too....

David,

I've never trailered, but I heartily agree with the tranny cooler, but
help me understand the power steering cooler....

It ist a fairly easy DIY project . You could get a better stacked
plate type aftermaket cooler from some place like ww.bulkparts.com .
There are some message threads on this at www.odyclub.com .
