We are looking to buy a vehicle to tow behind a 40 ft diesel pusher which we are currently shopping for. These look to be the easiest to tow with all wheels on the ground. They do not indicate any upper speed limit when towing or any fuses that need to be pulled. Any input would be appreciated. We closed on our house so we are planning to full time starting in June. Thanks, Brad and Nancy
You will find more vehicles that have no speed and distance limits.
The best thing to do about fuses is wire in a battery charging line to the 6 or 7 pin cable from the motorhome battery to the tow battery and then don't worry about the fuse. The fuses are pulled to not run the tow vehicle battery down, so if you keep it charged you are fine. There are kits out, cheap and simple like this one from Brake Buddy - http://www.brakebuddy.com/Products/Accessories/Towed-Vehicle-Battery-Maintainer or more fancy ones like http://www.lslproducts.com/ToadChargePage.html . Rolling your own is also not difficult.

I'd rather have a manual, no worry about over heating the transmission and you can get much better mileage with a manual.
