Okay Here is the story. 1st we had a 32' bumper pull LQ trailer that had 16' of toy space. Fair conversion done by me but DW wanted more. 2nd went to 3912 Raptor. 12 ft TH space decent hauler but was not both to big and to small. DW hated it. Even moved up to a Freightliner sportchasis to drag it around. Made all the upgrades that keystone did not. Anyway on to present. 40' 3 slide Country Coach diesel pusher. Great build quality drives great. Very functional with the exception of its limited to gravel or paved roads. You can get it stuck if its in wet grass. I also want to stay legal with 65' limit with enclosed trailer which does not get the wifes jeep, quad and my Dirtbike.

I think I want to switch back to a bumper pull. I can still put the quad in the bed of the truck and put jeep and bike in the back of the TH. Heres the catch it looks like the main TH builders dont have the weight capacity to have a jeep in. I have seen the work and plays but the look a bit spartan as far as interiors go and only have tandem axles guess 2 5000 which seems light.

Am I missing any TH mfg's or am I back to a full custom?

I would keep the DP and get a 20'stacker trailer, you can find them used for under 30K and still keep the luxury of the DP, you will not be happy going back to a bumper pull TH, as you said very spartan compared to what you are use to.

I I were in your shoes I would do the following:

Keep the pusher and get a 18-20 foot open trailer and have a second level added to it. Jeep goes on the bottom and the toys on the top. Have a buddy with this setup and it tows perfect... He has four quads on the second level and the jeep and a few bikes on the bottom. His trailer is a little over 25 but he doesn't mind being over 65.

Keeping the pusher gives you the option to flat tow the Jeep when you don't want the other stuff. Also- there is just no comparing a road trip in a pickup with a trailer versus pusher...

If you are happy with the pusher I would keep her and make it work! Hard to go from platinum style travel to an also ran. lol
