Was using the wipers for an extended period of time when all of the sudden only the drivers side wiper quit working and fell limply to the side. After an autopsy, the shaft that the wiper attaches to coming from the drive linkage inside the front cap had broken loose from the arm that drives it due to a broken weld at the end to the shaft. Typically it seems that these subsystems are sourced from other similar types of vehicles by the motorhome manufacturers. Does anyone know what the manufacturer of the wiper system is for the 2002 era Travel Supreme? It may be repairable by re-welding the broken area but would prefer to source a new part if able.

You can also try Millsupply.com. They have a lot of windshield wiper parts. I think they part you need may be called a pivot shaft.

I tried Mill Supply. they charge a lot for shipping! I changed the shipping method on check out then they changed it back once order was placed. watch out for that. they did have the part I needed, but the shipping cost more than the parts.

Checking the sources supplied we did find the right pivot shaft so appreciate the input. They are very proud of that little part tho as it carries a price tag of $75 if you should ever need one.
