Has anyone installed the marinco electrical inlet on their Airstream. If so, is there a junction box between the outlet and main circuit breaker where you tie in? I'd like to make a clean electrical connection. Should I stay with the 30 amp? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!
I don't think there should be a junction box, but I'm not familiar with the '78 Ambassador.
If you put in a 50a inlet you will need more room to mount the inlet, heavier wire to the main breaker, and the fittings are more expensive. But you can run everything at once.

I'm hooking up my Marinco today and finding out what a pain to run 30 amp wire from Marinco to breaker box, the pain is at the Marinco end, would you have any pictures of your hookup.
I added a 4x4 extension box to provide enough space behind the receptacle to turn the wires and head them up through 3/4" plastic conduit. I believe I used #6 Stranded THHN, mine is a 50a though, you could use #10AWG for a 30a.
Here's a closeup of the box, and a wider view with the box at top center.
