Tire wear
I am having some excess tire wear on the front tires of my tow car which is a jeep. My tire guy blames the fact that it is being towed. Have others had this?

I assume that you have had the front end alignment checked. If you have then the tire guy is probably right.
A lot depends on how well your toad tracks behind the coach and especially how it tracks during a tight turn. Some toads track fine and some tend to scrub the tires on a tight turn.
Remember when you make a tight turn the rear end of the coach is swinging out and causes the toad to do things a little different than just following in the tracks of your coach. This will increase front tire wear.
All you have to do is have someone do a tight turn with your coach while you watch what happens to your toad. You will see that it does not track right behind your coach but follows a different path.
Then, would it be a correct assumption that the problem might be more prevelant when towing with a Gas coach which would typically have a lot more overhang behind the rear axle then a DP?
