Replying to The "I'm bigger than normal people, but still want to tour" thread

This thread is for the big guys. If you are extra tall or extra heavy or both, this is the place for you.

Rather than have everything get lost in the mix, and hopefully help others in the future, I've decided to consolidate my questions, answers and (hopefully) future experiences here.

I'm new and inexperienced with the touring thing, so there will probably be dumb questions, but hopefully others with more experience can chime in. If what I learn or post in here is wrong, feel free to correct.
