A deck serves many purposes. It provides an elevated space to entertain that is up out of the mud. It provides a level space to entertain when the ground beneath isn't level. It adds visual appeal. It levels out the entry for easier handicapped access. Only this last one actually requires the deck to be level with the floor of the trailer. And given how narrow the entry door is on an Airstream compared to residential stick-and-brick homes, you're probably not doing it for handicapped access anyway. So keeping it level with the interior floor ought to be a non-issue as far as functionality is concerned.
Especially if you want to extend the awning out over the deck to provide shade, you'll want the deck to be level with the bottom edge of the trailer body at most, so the deck doesn't interfere with the awning legs. If the wheel well shows above deck level, that's easily remedied by adding a built-in storage bench (a bench seat with a hidden storage box below) right in front of the wheel well.
