Driving thru Texas today in driving rain and passenger wiper disappear . Stopped and found the arm broken just above were it connects to the motor. The window washer hose kept it connected to the MH. So here are the questions any suggestions for a temporary fix and where can I find a replacement .

Same thing happened to me. Called Monaco and bought a new wiper arm and never had a problem again. Of course the other arm broke off not too much later and so suggest you buy two. I have read of this problem several times, suspect inferior metal--looks like cast aluminum? Contact Monaco Coach

Been there done that. Just go to Walmart and get two replacements. They might be an inch or two shorter but will work fine. You might have to drill center hole out a little to get bolt to go through. Last ones I didn't have to.
Had the same thing happen 3 years ago. Got the new arms from Diesel Equipment Co. Looking at the bill now the # of the arm is RA750JH. that was for the right hand wiper arm $28.00. there telephone number is 336-373-8331
Thanks for all the suggestions. Could not find a place that would weld the arm so I tried Gorilla Epoxy, with two splints along the side of the arm. Look good so reinstalled arm driving down the road the epoxy let lose and bye bye arm.
I recalled that there had been a recall on the wiper parts from AM Equipment Windshield Wiper Blades and Systems | DC Electric Motors | Wiper Motor Assembly | AM Equipment. Contacted them and they carry the correct arms. So ordered two arms and two blades with three day shipping total was $219.

Just replaced both wiper arms with AM Equipment arms. The folks I dealt with were awesome.
