Anything equivalent to Puma 298fqu?

I have a 2011 Puma Unleashed 298fqu (purchased May 2010). We love this unit and have had many enjoyable trips in it, but as it is 10 years old it is getting to where it will require some expensive repairs. The biggest being repair of de-lamination along bottom of ramp door. If they still built the 298fqu I would definitely buy another. I am trying to find something equivalent to the 298fqu, i.e. around 30-33ft length and less than 13ft height. Much easier to get into the areas I take it. If I can't find anything, then I will spend the money to repair this one.
Anyone know of a currently available 5th wheel Toy Hauler meeting my requirements?

Repaired 298fqu

I had a local body shop repair the ramp door and it is now stronger than original, and even looks better.
I replaced the converter (because a mouse built a nest on the old one causing it to overheat), installed a set of Goodyear Endurance load range E tires, and packed the wheel bearings.
Everything still works, looks decent, and it suits our needs, so we have decided to keep it.
May have the front cap painted with automotive grade clear-coat to match the repaired ramp door and prolong the fiberglass cap since it's still in good condition.
Thanks for the response.
