Question:
Thank you. I have another question. I have a 2011 Ford F-350 Super Duty Lariat Crew Cab LB and I want to try putting a roof rack on it for also carrying a canoe or kayak. What would be the best setup for that. I see THARB60B, TH480R, THKIT1508 and TH819 on your site. If I get this setup would I still be able to pull my 5th Wheel?

For your 2014 Heartland Bighorn Model M3010RE, I recommend the Curt Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs # 13703. This will bolt or weld onto your frame and give you 3,500 lbs towing capacity and up to 350 lb tongue weight.
Due to the height of your trailer, there really isn't a safe way to carry your canoe or kayak other than to add a trailer. For this application, I recommend the adjustable ball mount # C45900 along with a hitch lock like # 63232. Then use a trailer like # MPG535 with kayak carriers like # MPG107MD.
This will get you safely down the road with your 5th wheel and kayak or canoe.
