Who found me the wiper arms I needed... in Canada no less

and to the guys at www.rvanywhere.com who were looking in to getting me what I needed

Both companies prove that customer service is still alive in North American

And thanks to you guys for pointing me in their direction

Cheers

It was the wrong unit... so today I drove to Montreal to CADEL, at 380 McCaffrey St Montreal. Tel 514-331-4616 I took with me the old arm. Spoke to Gabriel, showed him what the problem was.... well 20 minutes later I had the right arm, a wiper, and a few other nick nacks I needed.

I got home 90 minutes later and installed it.... it looks better than the original unit, Its made in Brazil and here is the part number

AMELE67015-28 WJ 28 Panto Wet Arm

They told me they could easily re-manufacture my entire assembly both inside and out very cheaply... if any other hard to get parts brake,

They do city buses, RV's Tractors and subway cars. Great source Very good Customer Service

Cheers

Two trips later. It works great. Still love the MH. Now to figure out why the new house batteries don't seem to hold a charge

Well a year on and found a bunch of leaks on the roof. Everbond works really well. Plugged all the leaks

So taking it to the dumping station to drop a load of black and grey water and an idiot pulls in front of me. I jam the brake and just stop. But I blew something brake related in the front Loss of pressure long stops. Leaking fluid. Into shop Monday hope it's just a line and not the brake cylinder

We will see

Hey Gank. Glad you made a safe stop. Not surprising that something popped though.

The older F53 brake systems were not too inspiring when new. At 20 years old, its bound to need help. Good news is the parts are not terribly expensive. I went completely through mine - new hoses, master cylinder, pads and rebuilt calipers for around $350 in parts. Did my own labor. Stops pretty good for an overloaded "bread truck".
