On our last trip we got into some rain and for the first time since we purchased our coach last April, I turned on the wipers. I had to slightly lean down in order to see out. After getting home I measured them and they were 28" long. From reading on here I found several who are using 36" blades, but on the Trico website it says to use 32" specifically #67-324. I purchased new on Amazon but find they won't attach and lock into place. They are the correct J-Style hook but they are maybe 1/8" wider than the J-hooks on our coach. Doesn't sound like much but it's enough tp prevent them from locking into position. Anyone have this problem, or have our wiper arms been changed by the PO? Also, if there is an adapter would it work with 36" blades? TIA for any help. Bob

The 36 and 40 inch wiper blades are in the 40$ plus each. 28 are at the end of less cost wiper which would be maybe on van or truck. They are in the 10 to 15$ dollar range and that is why someone put them on LA. The 36 inch blades are what came on our coach and just replaced them for second time about 2 months ago. You do need check replacement blades to see if they have the correct connection to your wiper arms. The better sets of wiper blades have new hardware to make it easier to replace them. Over the years have found putting 303 on the blades extends the usage to 3 or 4 years.

I found the reference to the factory installed wipers on Newgle off Newmar's website.

Newmar and Integrity carry the proper ones for your coach. Call Newmar with the last 6 digits of your VIN and they will tell you the part number and their price (which includes shipping). Then go to Integrity website to check if the price is competitive after shipping cost.

Thanks for the replies. I just got off the phone with Andrew in Newmar parts. He quoted me $144. per blade and said they are 32" long, and are for a J-hook mount, part number 106879-H. I then asked him why Newgle shows a different part number RA750 OP D15-S. He looked that up and said it was not for my coach. I had entered both my coach serial number as well as the VIN. Now I am totally confused...

Newmar is out to lunch!!

Contact this outfit: Global Products. They are who I got my wipers from for my '18 Ventana. Around $35 each.

288.00 for a pair of wiper blade's.......Newmar had ought to be ashamed of themselves!!
Just inline with the cost of most all their part's we need.............People lately have been finding part's at the Tiffin store at a lot less cost........

See image of the ones I use; purchased from Integrity. $40 each

So weird!!! This is the response I just got from Integrity:

Hello Robert,

I see a 32” wiper blade being attached to your coach. We currently have any 36” or larger that would fit your coach. I would recommend going with a standard blade you can find at a local auto parts store.

Thank you,

$144 for a blade??? Maybe that included the arm and installation. And a back rub.
Take the wiper off and go to a NAPA store.

Did you call or e-mail.

I called to confirm I had the right blades in mind. When they confirmed, they went ahead and took my shipping and credit card info. Had wipers within a week.

I just used their online form. If I don't hear back by morning I will call.
