In a chat with an old timer at Quartzite I was told that a diesel pusher was his choice. (I asked.) He had owned everything from TC's, TT and C's and his preference was to NOT have the engine under his feet. Rear engine drives are quieter, have less vibration and reduce driver fatigue.
FWIW - if you're going to go big. . .
In answer to your question: No. But I have met a guy that went from a Super C to a pop-up TC and a small motorcycle style trailer.
That is old story. I used to have 2-cycle Detroit in the rear and definitely would not want it on front.
Now I can't hear front 6.7l ford diesel at all, unless I come to extreme situations.
Extreme situation for the engine is 25% grade, where it drops couple of gears on 6-sp
All 7% grades are taken at 1600 rpm no matter the load.
