UFO questions about ICC & wipers

[cctv]

I never have been able to locate an ICC switch on my Monaco 38PLT. Do any of you UFO owners have an ICC. Also, anyone else having problems with your driver side windshield wiper, mine won't stay on the glass when on the far left side.

ICC means what?

My UFO doesn't have one that I know of.

cctv: usually an ICC switch is a coach builder item. Many coaches don't have them, while some manufacturers, Newmar for one, include them across their entire product line. My new Winnie does not have one, and I miss it. I'm guessing Monaco did not see fit to include one in your PLT.

gbs2320: ICC is an old term that originally referred to the Interstate Commerce Commission, which USED to regulate the trucking industry. Truckers used the switch to flash their ICC required clearance lights to signal other truckers it was safe to return to the travel lane after passing each other.

Wiper (new from Monaco) won't clear left side of my windshield either. It's maddening- not to mention dangerous. I'd sure like to hear if anyone has a solution too.

My drivers side wiper misses a good bit of the laft side of the windshield too, appears to do a bit of bouncing. PO replaqced the wipers, old ones were still in the basement. IU haven't looked close yet.

08 knight has an icc switch, on the dash labelled ICC.

Solution: Rain X. When done right you hardly need wipers above say 40 MPH. Makes cleaning bugs off waaaay easier too.

I 2nd the Rain X. When done right it is like wiping marbles off of a glass table top with a yard stick. You can see great even if the windshield is wet.

ICC switch on the Smart Wheel.

Smart wheel? hmmm, sorry for the hijack, but I'd just kill to have radio and cruise control on my steering wheel. Can this be done? my 08 knight has neither.
It's an rr8r and communs isc

Don't know if this is what you have but it's been mentioned on another thread if you have the 32" wiper blades replace them with 28". The 32" 's supposedly sail to much due to wind.

I've used RainX before and it lasts for a little while then needs to be redone. Sort of a PITA. Hoped someone had some insight on how to get the MONACO wipers to work.

Been just "living" with the issue from day one. Tried different wipers, but doesn't really make any difference. There is not enough spring tension to hold the wiper flush.

I'm 2 1/2 years and 50K miles into mine. Overall, still loving the thing!

I have no problem with my wipers any longer. I replaced the arms with ones with smaller j hooks and went to a frameless blade. I bought the arms from the originianl equipment manufacturer...Diesel Equipment co in North Carolina. They also sent me 32 inch frameless blades..standard stuff on most MHs now. The rubber blades went bad during the winter and now I have 28 inch Michelin frameless blades on the coach. The bad part is that they are a bit short. Good part is I can find blades just about anywhere that will fit.
