Are you looking for 'Modern' or 'Areodynamic' ?
Take a look at a 2013 Evergreen Element or a 2013 Keystone Vantage.

I consider any modern RV ought to be aerodynamic. But, I also recognize that the RV industry is seriously challenged technically and I'd be asking too much to expect both. So, modern interior first, then aerodynamic if possible.

Definitely getting closer with this Keystone Advantage. Not my choice of color scheme, but a nice design....

Thanks for the tip!

The Oliver Legacy II Elite is $65k, the AS Bambi 22 FB is $66k. The AS is also a foot wider and weighs 2k pounds less.
They're both great TTs. Price being equal I'd take the AS.

Keystone: Strange Lineup!
So the Keystone Advantage in the past was a nice aerodynamic low riding chassis that looks very sleek, but now all they sell are the standard, high center of gravity "RV tin box of stripes". Weird.
I also would never want a unit with slides.

I forgot about this one. I've walked through some Nucamp teardrop style TT's and the overall quality is top notch. Way about the Indiana type stuff. You pay for it though.

Maybe not quite as "modern" inside as the Airstream, but if quality is a concern you might want to look at an Outdoors RV Titanium. We have a 2019 25RTS Titanium (30' overall) and I love it. It's not bright white inside, but I honestly don't want to feel like I'm in the waiting room to get an MRI while lounging in my trailer. The Titanium editions have great countertops, big deep sinks, nice sleek windows, and the build quality is great. They are also made to stand up to pretty decent rough travel. For me, the cabinetry feels warm and understated, not really to much of an outdated 80s look (and the cabinets are made from real wood, and have that feel). Can't really think of any complaints so far with out trailer. The exteriors on the Titanium models are a grey base, (no bright white) and while they do have some swooshy striping, I don't find it too intense. Something to ocnsdoer anyways.

Keystone built the Vantage Travel Trailers in 2012 and 2013. I have a 2013 25RBS. What I really like is it has 16" E rated tires, two 4,400 lb. axles and loaded the trailer weighs 6,500lbs. So I veiw it as being over built. Oh, it also has CRE 3000 suspension.
Keystone built 19', 25', 29' and 32' models.
Maybe the biggest model would work for you.
The things I do not like is it is low to the ground, make pulling the dump valve difficult - like Airstream. It does have a smaller outside storage area. In 2013 they had LED lights.
