Aluminum Can or Plastic Box? If you are willing to spend that much for a new Airstream you might also look at an Oliver, a double-shell molded TT in the same size range. That would make it three totally different types of construction.
I would add Bigfoot and Escape to the list, except that a Bigfoot on that size range is probably too heavy for you, and I'm not sure what Escape is currently building, there have been stories about moving production from Canada to the southern U.S.
Molded plastic hulls as TT shells (Oliver, Escape, Bigfoot and some other brands in smaller sizes) I understand; that's how small ocean-going yachts are built. It is the egg-shell principle.
X2 - if you are considering a TT with no slide-out then you should take a look at Oliver - see
this thread. Also, give more consideration to payload vs tow capacity on your Toyota 4 runner. Payload will be exceeded before reaching tow capacity. Search on Payload for lots of discussion. Make sure you can use a weight distributing hitch on your TV and hopefully it doesn't have passenger car tires. Good luck!
