I would like to set up a default gateway to use the VPN remote network for all internet queries.

This application is often called "Central Traffic Policing VPN."  This is when remote sites are required to send their Internet traffic through a central site before accessing the Internet.  Review the Configuring a VPN Using Main Mode in AOS guide for reference on how to setup a VPN.  However, with this application, the setup is the same as a standard VPN, except the VPN Selectors are different.  The VPN selectors need to reflect the destination as "any" because it is going to be routed to the public Internet, and the true destination address is unknown.  Here is an example configuration of this portion of the VPN (the remote site's LAN subnet is 10.1.1.0 /24):

Central Site Configuration:

ip access-list extended VPN-TO-REMOTE

  permit ip any 10.1.1.0 0.0.0.255

!

ip policy-class Private

  allow list VPN-TO-REMOTE stateless

!

ip policy-class Public

  allow reverse list VPN-TO-REMOTE stateless

Remote Site Configuration:

ip access-list extended VPN-TO-MAIN

  permit ip 10.1.1.0 0.0.0.255 any

!

ip policy-class Private

  allow list VPN-TO-MAIN stateless

!

ip policy-class Public

  allow reverse list VPN-TO-MAIN stateless

I hope that makes sense, but please do not hesitate to reply to this post with any additional questions.  I will be happy to help in any way I can.

Thank you for asking this question in the support community.  Is there any additional information you can provide?  From the input you provided I think the setup is as follows:

Site A ---- VPN ---- Site B ---- Internet

You want Site A to send all Internet traffic over the VPN to Site B's Internet connection?  Please, let me know if this is correct, and I will be happy to provide some suggestions for you.
