Carriage manufactured a 5th wheel called the Domani in 2008. It was much more contemporary in decor. They only made them the 1 year so far as I can tell. Here's a link to a used one for sale in this area.

All the pictures I have found so far show lots of natural finish wood and more traditional decor. Is there a make and model that offers modern/contemporary interiors?

We also like a more contemporary style - and are slowly renovating our bus to be more our style and making it ours (we're going for a retro contemporary look).
Before we bought our bus tho, we had looked at several on the market models and found the Winnebago is doing some innovative stuff:
Good luck in your search.. I think you can find things to fit your needs if you look enough.

You don't mention if you're in the market for a trailer or a motorhome. If it's a motorhome, check out the Serrano by Thor. The interior has a very stylish modern euro-look with sleek cabinet faces. Front end diesel gets about 13 mpg too. Friends own one and just love it.

Sorry - My first choice would be a trailer and second would be a fifth wheel

The newer Airstreams have an Ikea kind of Euro feel. We saw some cool ones at a recent RV show.
We recently toured a 2012 Open Roads and have talked to Bonnie & Clyde on this forum who have one.
We loved the interior and so do they. They make both a fifth-wheel & trailer, and they have some nice features we have't seen before.
Domani is THE most contemporary RV interior, but they aren't made any more. Evergreen is also coming out with some really neat stuff.
And Evergreen's NEW luxury fiver division (former Carriage employees) are coming out with a super luxe 5W in 2013.

Terry and Candace,
Did you mean a 2012 Open Range? I was under the impression that Open Road RV went out of business.
When we were looking, the Open Range was an option as one of our "short list" brands. However, I wouldn't classify their interiors as "contemporary." But then, I've not been known for my decorating sense, nor have I seen a 2012 model.
We're going to be out and about today, so I may need to go check the local dealer.

It's a smaller Class-B tho, and we didn't find it suitable for our full timing needs.
Our previous full time RV was a small travel trailer, that was very modern (all white):
