Hi.
I see no reason it wont, but you need to have a receiver on the back of the coach that is rated for towing,not the one made of strap steel Winnebago used on some of there units back then.If it don't have a class three receiver on the unit then have one installed.

thank you, and.... what should go on the front of the Odyssey? - or would a tow dolly work better? I know this is more than one question. ... here's another one... who would install these things? an RV Mechanic?

On the motor home,you may have to have it built by a welding shop if one is not available from your local RV supplier.
Our shop sells Karr Kaddies as well as installs base plates on the tow vehicle.
Blue Ox makes base plates and tow bars,Here is the link for you to look at.
You can go either way.Depends on what you want to do,I would check on them both,compare prices?
