As long as the frame on your 2015 Heartland RV Bighorn Silverado Fifth Wheel is between 18" - 51" wide I recommend the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver - 18"-51" Wide - 2" Drop - Class III - 2" # C13701. The # C13701 has a 500lb tongue weight rating and 5000lb trailer weight rating, but your trailer may not. I recommend reaching out to Heartland to find the tongue weight and towing capacity of your Bighorn Silverado and use the lower rating between the hitch and trailer.

If your frame is wider than 51" you will need the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs, 22" to 72" Wide # 13703 instead.

Lastly you will need to make sure that the cargo carrier you are using is rated for use on a trailer, as there is quite a bit more movement on the back of a trailer that can cause a standard carrier to fail. For a cargo carrier rated for use on a 5th wheel trailer I recommend taking a look at the 20x59 Curt Cargo Carrier # C18150.
