I can tell you exactly how to find out what the correct Sidewinder is for your Heartland E22, though that information is not something we have available to us. There are a couple routes you can take in order to find out what Sidewinder you need, and you will need to know the manufacturer and model number of the pin box on your fifth wheel and match that with the correct replacement.

For example, Sidewinder # RP34FR will replace Lippert 0719, 1621 and 1621HD, as well as Fabex PB 600 Series (68200) pin boxes. This information may be located on a sticker or stamp somewhere directly on the pin box itself, and if you let me know the manufacturer and model number of your pin box I can find the correct Sidewinder for you.

If that information is not available you are going to need to take some measurements to determine exactly what you have. I have added a link to a help article called "Measuring to Determine the Correct Replacement Pin Box for a 5th-Wheel Trailer" which has the exact measurements you need to take, and this will allow you to find out what pin box you have.

I have added a link to our entire selection of Sidewinders for you to take a look at as well as a help article on Sidewinders you may find useful.
