Prolong the American Revolutionary War to at least 1789

So the American Revolution ended in 1783 with the Treaty of Paris. How can the war be prolonged in all theatres to 1789?

Would a longer war affect the outcome? Maybe if the British divert more troops to America in 1781?

Might the French and Spanish launch another attempted invasion of Britain?
 
The American Revolution was such a financial sinkhole for England that I can't imagine the war going all out from 1775 to 1789.

Maybe a decisive defeat early on, like Washington getting trapped and obliterated in Brooklyn. Most organized resistance in the colonies collapses the following year, which leads the British to pulling back. Then a few years later, what had been the remnants of the original Continental army coalesce back into a real force.

So, collapse, a period of relative quiet, than a flare up into a formal war again.
