OH BOY, Most diesel pushers are designed for cocktails for six, dinner for four, and sleep too. There is not a gas Motorhome made that will tow a large stacker trailer...7500 lb hitch max. You could go with a toy hauler pulling a van 4 down (no trailer) is a possibility but 99% are gas. Once you go over about 38 feet you are in diesel pusher territory.
There's a very simple, basic reason why diesel pusher toy haulers don't exist: the garage and the diesel engine would need to somehow occupy the same space at the back. A front engine diesel would be possible, of course, if pretty rare outside of a super-C setup.
Didn't Travel Supreme make a DP toy hauler in the mid 2000's?

They did make a mid-engine unit. Whether or not that's a "diesel pusher" configuration is an interesting question; I certainly would not care to state categorically one way or the other. It's definitely not a typical rear engine diesel chassis, in any case, though it could (and I assume does) share many of the advantages they generally have such as air suspension and a quiet(er) cockpit area with no doghouse.
