What type of hitch do I need?
Realistically, you will need a weight distributing hitch for a 28', 1978 Airstream Ambassador. Airstream lists the base empty weight for a coach without any options, accessories, or fluids as 4,630 for the twin model and 4,690 for the double model . . . dry hitch weights are listed as 550 for the twin and 575 for the double again for a coach without options, accessories or fluids. The standard ball size would be 2 5/16".
The fact sheet for Airstream dry weights is attached to this post.
Good luck with your acquisition!
