Mine is 2 5/16 on the trailer for my 278. No reason to suspect yours would be any different.

Most likely 2 5/16 but it should have a stamp on the hitch. Usually on top.

Make sure it is the right size and the right weight limit. I towed my new Sundowner 255 (7,000 lbs) home from the dealer only find that he installed a 2 5/16 inch ball with a 5,000 lbs weight limit.

Never assume or go with what we use for our set up. Look at coupler and find out what size it is.
