hi sea otter and welcome to the forums and airstream'n...
30 ft classic WITH slide.....cool
infinity qx56....................cool
together.........................not cool
the 30 slide will likely put you over gross combined weight rating, rear axle weight rating AND reciever/hitch rating...
for the qx56...unless i'm reading the figures wrong...
the the armada/qx56 has a max hitch capacity of 900lbs approx, even with w/d gear...
the classic in 30/so is over 1,000 lbs on the tongue....not counting spare tire, options or full lpgas tanks...
yes the q has enough horses to pull this trailer
but please recheck the towing capabilities (axle rating and towing capacity are on the door pillar)
receiver/hitch figures are in your owners manual...next to last section.
these are 2 great vehicles but the q is no match for a 30 footer with slide...
a 30 ft classic with slide is clearly in the 3/4 ton range for towing needs...
even an infinity has a 'finite' capacity for towing and the published limits are not enough for this application....
please tell us more about the process that lead you to this combo...
who told ya it would work?
cheers
2air'
