Dale, that's great to know. I had come to that same conclusion and was going to also replace the drive motor. But then I traded the coach!

I have been suffering in a similar way with 1 of my wipers. I an about to try 28 inch wipers in the hope that it will start working. In the meantime RainX had behind my favorite product!

Steve, perhaps Newmar and TS were using the same motors during those years? I know there was a lot of commonality with wipers from mfr. to mfr. i did try 28 in. Blades, but still didn't work like before. Why not try a new motor?

My motor seems to be ok, Newmar has an update for the entire linkage but it requires cutting holes and patching fiberglass. The issue with mine is that the drive cone was slipping inside the drive arm. I torqued that up and the next time a "C" clip fell off the linkage. Went to use them today and the blade on the drive side tore! Shopping for new wipers tomorrow. I do have a spare drive cone from Newmar in case I have damaged it while tightening.
I believe Campingworld has 34" wipers so I will try them, I will also pick up a set of 28" RainX wipers to give them a try.
