Fleetwood windshield wipers
I purchased a 1997 Fleetwood Storm. I can not find windshield wiper replacements. NAPA says they don’t carry and can’t get the. Any ideas please.

On our previous coach we had 30 something inch wipers. I went to Walmart and bought the largest they had 26" (I think) and they worked just fine. Something to consider. Heck of a lot cheaper!

Advance Auto used to have long wipers behind the counter. You could call and ask.
Camping World has them but you will pay more
You can order them from Fleetwood. Sometimes their prices are not so bad.

Ollie's Bargain Outlet usually has long wiper blades. And at a good price.

You should be able to go to Walmart if they have a J hook, if they screw on with 2 screws you can buy the J hook adapter.

Trico Brand at Camping World $29.00 each.
Once you replace them, buy wiper blade covers and help protect the rubber from UV Rays when in storage.

I had a hard time getting the right wipers for my Bounder. None of the chain stores had the right wiper; even special order. The closest one from the chain store didn't fall off for at least 2hours in the rain...
I finally found the exact replacement here

Many of the chain store items were really close, I had to match the wiper manufacturer to the blade.

If Costco sold a 32" blade I would be buying it there too!

If your blade/refills are 25.5" (called 26") long and the clamps holding the refills are 3/8" wide, Trico 17-260 is the part number for refills. Available on Amazon for a fair price.

I ordered a pair of wipers from the factory. You can modify wipers from other suppliers but that is a lot of work.
