I recommend going with the Curt Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch # 13703 for your 2011 Heartland Greystone 29MK. Trailer hitches for 5th wheel/travel trailers don't have specific fits but this is the most likely to fit as it is compatible with trailer frames that are 22" - 72" wide. This trailer hitch has a tongue weight rating of 350 lbs so you do need to keep that in mind (as well as any weight restrictions for your 5th wheel) when loading up a cargo carrier.
