A 30' travel trailer? Probably not.
It is all relative. Age of equipment, type of tires, length of wheelbase, type of trailer, type of hitch.
Since most ST tires are rated at 65 MPH that is where you should be at or under.
I have ST tires rated to 81 MPH on my 7,500 lbs 32 foot travel trailer. I won't tow over 70. I generally stay around 60-65 on places like I-5 or I-90. 70 is on the highway in wide open space.
The wheel base of the vehicle towing is rarely talked about, but is important when discussing overall stability.
