I've never towed a trailer, and have no experience in that area.
I may need to retrieve my Dad's 1964 Apache pop-up camper, and tow it cross country, and need to buy a trailer ball if I attempt this myself.
I'm thinking that the ball size on Dad's cars were 1-7/8" and I've read that 2" is standard. The Apache weighs about 900 pounds, and tongue weight was 100#, if memory serves. My Dad passed away 3 years ago, and the camper is at a family member's house. It's unlikely that the family member will be able to utilize it, even though he wants to use it.
I'm Trustee for our Dad's estate so it's really my responsibility to see that it is disposed of.
Anyone give me any advice here on the ball size?
The hitches on Dad's cars were single piece steel, not receiver type, and probably Class I. They bolted to the frame of the car and the bottom of the trunk.

Can you look or have someone look at the receiving end if the trailer tongue, it could possibly be stamped on it so you don't have to guess and spend more than you need.
