A 29' has a 6000 gvwr (for 29D per dealer, apparently more per airstream) and unit base weight of 4761. The single motor can supposedly pull 7500+ pounds. Considering how much you can put inside an Airstream and the mileage from a single motor, I think a single motor is doable though not recommended.

I sell Airstream occasionally...
The GVWR seems to be no issue for that size if you go with the dual or tri motor CT. The tongue weight is often what stops a truck from being able to tow a trailer, but with the adaptive air suspension I would suspect that CT is above average in that department (at worst).
So yes a 23' Airstream should be no issue, although if you have the single motor it may be cutting it close and limiting how much gear you can pack. They say an average weekend camper packs roughly 150lbs per person, and that's if you're headed somewhere with running water.

Well, if it's only three tons, then the single-motor could do it just fine.

Remember the battery range too. It’s possible to loose nearly half your range when towing. So I would strongly recommend 400 mile range at least.

Yes, it can.
I have a 1970 Airstream Overlander trailer. It's rated around max gross of 7500 (per axles weights). It actually tows beautifully. The jelly bean shape makes it more efficient than towing my Featherlite car trailer.
I'm very much looking forward to towing the Airstream with the CT. It's going to look awesome!
It won't, however, tow better than my 2wd diesel Ram dually.
But the CT will be able to tow it.
