CLS70 is on a distinguished road
My suggestions:

1. Keep an eye on your speed, as others have pointed, there is a lot of additional mass & inertia involved; and the braking behaviour of the car+trailer can be unexpected at high speeds. When I trailer my boat (much smaller than an airstream), I drive well below my "normal" speed.

2. Suggest to plan to stop regularly and check trailer tires - you may want to check also that bearings are not overheating.

3. Be careful if there is a lot of Wind - I think the Airstream has a sizeable lateral size....

Enjoy !
