Wiper Blades

[bullydogs1]

Looks like I need new wiper blades.....can someone out there tell me the size and the place to get them.....Can I do refills or do I have to get new arms as well...Thank you.

Don't know what length you need, but I replaced the 26 inch on my 2005 HR Ambassador, with blades purchased at Walmart. They were Micheln brand. I had to drill out the center pin, took about 2 min., and bolted on as were the old blades. Work great. Think they were $8 a blade.

I know they are 32" blades with that center bolt..Monaco has them for $51 + but I'm a cheapskate and would rather get 32's....The NAPA is my area isn't worth a darn...I know there is a supply house but I forget the name of the place...Hopefully someone will remember and post.

It seems Monaco used a number of different sizes and at least 2 suppliers for wipers. Most can be converted to use ordinary blades. Sometimes Camping World has the correct blades. But if yours look like these nothing will work other than the original. The saddle is one inch wide and the centere bolt is not only metric it is a shoulder bolt with the shoulder being quite large. The ordinary blades do not have enough meat to drill out. I was at Lowes and Menards. In those hardware drawers they have some shoulder bushings that might be usefull in adapting ordinary blades. Costco has the 32 inch size. Ignore the wings on my arms. I put those on to keep the blades from lifting in the wind. Mine are 36 inches!

I replaced my 24" blades with ones I got at the local auto parts. I did have to drill out the hole in the blade frame so the stock shoulder bolt would fit.

Bullydog, I odered these from Amazon at 32.00 each free standard shipping TRICO 67-321 replacement wipers (Blade and arm) When you change out your old ones the little bolt that holds them to the arm is rusted and will break. No issue after the head breaks off just use vise gripds and twist and pull the bolt out. Go to hardware store and get two new bolts and lock nuts (I used stainless to make it easy next time). The wiper may come with a couple of extra clips/parts ect for multi fit, just use what you take off from the other and put them back on with the new bolts. Hope this info helps. Also NAPA will order them if you have the wiper number.

These are 32 inch heavy duty

Looks like the price has gone up on the 32" wipers from Amazon but they do have the 28" for just under $30 with free shipping. Amazon.com: Trico 67-281 67 Series Heavy Duty Black Wide Saddle Wiper Blade for Curved Windshields - 28", Pack of 1: Automotive

Goodyear 28" from Costco. $9.=== 32" from Newmar if you pick them up at the factory or $64 if they ship them.

Yep, I made the mistake of ordering them through a Newmar dealer without asking the price first. Got them in around 2005 and haven't even put them on yet as I haven't found I need them yet. Yep, still have the OEM blades after 9 years and we live in the rainy NW. I use 303 on the blades and DWG on the windshield and sides of the MH. Rain just blows off so a lot of times I never turn on the wipers.

RV World in Yuma AZ, bought mine 06/20/11 for under $30.00, and they were the complete blades very heavy duty, Carl

Mr. D
I understand what you mean about puting 303 on wiper blades, I don't understand what DWG is that you put on the sides.

Had to replace my 31" wiper blades on a Monaco Signature. I could not find any anywhere. I went down to Wal-Mart and replaced the original 31" blades with 28" blades for a fraction of the cost. And I can't even tell a difference in size when I'm using them. Plus if you ever need more. Just find a Wal-Mart store for replacements.

Blades longer than 30" are hard to locate. Trouble is, when you do locate such a rarely stocked part you may get one with rubber that's as old as what you're replacing. Happened to me with 32" blades on my Dynasty. Like Don and others, I replaced my 32's with 28's. Wiping area is still quite sufficient for driving (certainly superior to a blade that's smearing rain as it's dried and hardened). I make sure I get good quality blades from a source that moves a lot of stock, Walmart is one place, bigger auto stores also. SOme blades need a pin drilled out, some do not.
