I towed a 2720SL with an '01 Odyssey. Same problem in Wisconsin on its concrete hiways. Especially Hwy 151, Oshkosh (B'gosh) to Madison. It was worst at the speed limit. I had to be 15 mph UNDER the speed limit to keep the coffee in my cup

. Tried dropping another link once, but it only slightly affected the problem.

Later I drove the same roads, towing the same trailler, using a Toyota 4Runner. Same problem, but not as vertigo-inducing as with the Odyssey.

So, I think the primary problem is the road + the compliance of the Ody's suspension. Since your trailer's tires are probably speed-limited to 65 mph, decreasing speed, to get out of the peak resonance regime, seems to be the only solution (short of using other roads).
