Wiper arm broke off just before the drive shaft. Trying to find a new one but no luck. Monaco wants $280 dealer wants $255. Looked on AMequipment site but the spline size that they have are a different size. This is for a 07 Knight with the one peice windshield. Anyone have this problem? I think when I get the new arm I will go to 28" wipers so as not to put a much pressure on the arms. It broke when a large truck passed us on a two lane road , guess the gust of wind was just to much for the arm. It broke right in the heaviest part of the arm. Looks like cast white metal.

$280 for a wiper arm seems like daylight robbery to me.

I can't tell you where to find one but you could try ring these people .: TAC :. Transportation Accessories Company

It looks like they specialize in bus wipers but a motorhome is not that different I would have thought?

Good luck hunting and do tell us if you find something.

That one on e bay is close but not the same. The biggist problem is the spline shaft that the wiper arm mounts on. It is metric on the taper and on the thread that hold it on. I agree 280.00 is highway robbery but what are you going to do. I will keep looking some more but it looks like I will have to bite the bullet.

Checked all those places and nothing looks the same. I did order one from AM equipment that might work with a little rework. I will try it and let you guys know.

I found the OEM name on my old arms, found the company name on the internet and ordered 2 new ones. Can't remember now, but look for name on the wiper arm.

No name, I looked hi and low but nothing. Dealer said there was a change in 06 so it is different than older models.

We had the same kind of problem - an arm - drivers side went left past the end of the windshield and wouldn't come back. The "stud" that the arm attaches to was stripped. Monaco's prices were as noted - expensive. I called Diesel Equipment in Greensboro NC. Bottom line - they installed a completely new system -motor, studs, arms, blades for about the cost of the stud and arm from Monaco. Plus its a much heavier system - motor and arms - you can tell looking at the arms. I would highly recommend them and their product.
