Your body gets narrower toward your feet, so it makes sense to have your legs at the rear of the van, where it’s narrower. I travel solo, but if you are a van-dwelling or micro-camping couple, I’d suggest building your bed platform so your shoulders can be between the sliding doors. This is one of the reasons I chose a second-generation Odyssey. Note that later generation Odysseys have put cupholders on the doors, which reduces this dimension. That means you could fit something 6 inches wider than a Queen-sized mattress where the 2nd-row seats would normally be.

The narrowest width dimension is 4 feet (48 inches) between the wheel wellsīut an often-overlooked dimension is the full 65 inches between the sliding doors! Side-to-side gives you 48 inches between the wheel wells. I have the seat forward for the photo, but it doesn’t need to be ALL the way forward for this.įront-to-back you have a full 8 feet. From the rear hatch to the back of the front seats can give a full 8 feet (96 inches). It is now true of most minivans, including the Toyota Sienna and the Dodge Caravan. The Honda Odyssey was one of the first minivans to swallow a 4×8 sheet of plywood and the basic dimensions from front to back and side to side, demonstrate that this is true. That’s OK with me because it removes 80 lbs from the vehicle and gives better ground clearance. Note that in the 04′ Odyssey, the seats do not fold into the floor. All seats in place and upright gives you 7 passenger seating Fold the rear seat into the floor for a 48 inch square box-shaped space Take out one of the seats and there is room to put a cot from front to back (but my 30″ wide cot would need to be at a slight angle) Both middle row seats removed–now we are talking! Let’s get some dimensions. But, in the 2004, the floor is “fairly” flat.įirst, let’s establish a frame of reference by looking in the back of my 04′ Honda Odyssey and the different ways you can configure the seats. Note that the 5th generation (2018-2021) has a different arrangement for the 2nd-row seats which incorporates brackets that sit over the floor. The 04′ has 65 inches between the sliding doors, which is similar to my 4th generation 2013 Honda Odyssey and the 3rd gen 2009 that I used to own. I’m not here to convince you that the Honda Odyssey is the perfect minivan for camping, as I’ve already made that argument elsewhere 😉 But if you are already considering the Odyssey, these dimensions should help you plan your conversion.ĭimensions are similar in all Odysseys, but these are from my 2nd generation 2004 model.

Features include voice-controlled satellite GPS, a split-screen rear-seat entertainment system and a removable first-row centre console. Available in five trim levels, this is the minivan for the new age. The most up-to-date model of the Honda Odyssey available is the fourth-generation design, introduced in 2011. Meanwhile, a third generation was introduced in 2005, offering a similar size to the previous generation but with upgraded technology, including electronic stability control and an updated engine. The 1999 second-generation model was much larger than its predecessor, as it adopted a more practical format, including powered sliding doors and sliding seats. The first-generation model offered accommodations for up to seven passengers, with a removable three-seating middle bench. The Honda Odyssey has been in production since 1994, when the body type was at its peak in popularity. The Honda Odyssey is one of the last of a dying breed. Thankfully, there are still a few manufacturers that offer a minivan in their range. The minivan is as safe of an automobile to bring children-and their hockey gear-around as any car on the market. For a period, these practical vehicles were a staple for families on the go, offering passenger capacity and cargo space to suit the needs of a growing family. There are not nearly as many minivans available in the automobile market as there once was.
