Newbie here, advice on tow rig?
To preface, sorry for the long first post. I've read about 50 pages of the diesel vs gas thread and it's exhausting, so I thought I'd start my own in hopes of getting some realistic non-biased advice....

If you're considering going in to the Appalachians or heading west into the Rockies, I would push you toward a diesel since the turbo helps at higher elevations and exhaust braking will get you safely back.
My diesel may sit for week but is run every weekend under load or up at least 3000' elevation, so I don't have much experience with diesels sitting around. I have plenty of gasoline toys that may sit and find adding stabilizer to the fuel and maintenance charger on the battery is the trick to keeping them running without frequently having to clean carburetors or replace batteries.
Hummers don't make good tow rigs for heavy toy haulers. I know two people that had a H2 and H1 - Both of them sold the hummers for 3/4t and 1t trucks once they bought toy haulers.
Your forum name is common to someone I know in MO with Harleys, so I had to ask...
