A few years ago I bought wipers from rockauto.com by reading a tip here. I paid $7 ea. for 28" ANCO metal wipers. I had bought Rain-X plastic wipers that didn't last one summer, the plastic arm broke.
UPDATE: I just now looked, ANCO 28" blades $5.56 ea. Search terms is 28" then a mini-menu pops up to choose refill or blade.

Thanks Ray and Cassy.
The problem is the width of the J hook. ON mine and fhmac's , our J hook is slightly wider than the normal wiper part that the J hook slides into. This was mentioned previously. So unless you know for sure about the fit, it is hard to just order something that may not work. I will go to Wallymart today and check out the RainX Latitude.
I will let you know what I find about that wiper and it's fit for us.

The trico website lets you enter your year, make and model of motorhome and will give you their part number for the blade that fits your coach. Then you can order the correct one from whichever source you want to.

Getting expensive here as well. Paid $45 CD+ tax for one for my pickup.
Re the J hook being wider, a file will correct that. Just take the arm off the vehicle to avoid the steel filings rusting on your paint. Remember to paint the bare steel after filing for the same reason.

xmcdog. I did think of filing down the J hook, but I wanted to wait and do that as a last resort. I will go to the Trico website and see what happens there.
I did go to Walmart this morning and picked up a couple of the RainX Latitudes. It looked promising until I tried to insert the J hook. The slot is just too narrow. I used the Dremel and ground it down some and no way. I sacrificed a little of one of them to get a good look inside. NO WAY will my J hook go in there. I am not totally out of it, I did get one from Awesome RV, aka, Ford dealer that fit. fhmac ordered from RVUpgrades, so when he gets his he will tell us I'm sure. So now I am going to look at RVUpgrades and Trico and see what I can see.
Thanks to all who have replied, much appreciated. I just want a good set of wipers. Is that too much to ask for!!. Maybe it is these days.
Ok, later. Have a Great Week.

Search for blades that fit a 9x4 J hook. A car uses a 9x3 J hook which is why a standard car blade won’t fit.

Nope. The RainX Latitude says fits 9x3 and 9x4 J hook arm. It will NOT fit my J hook arm. Again, my J hook is too wide. So I am looking at, after searching, either a Trico HD 67-284, 28" from Wipers123, or, RVUpgrades, WT8-28 from Wiper Technologies. $32.98 and $24.80 respectively. I'm good right now but after I hear from fhmac, I might buy a pair from RVUpgrades. Thank you.

"That's too Much"
RV Upgrades has acknowledged the order, the vehicle application, and will ship soon. Larry I'll be sure to let you know how the blades fit and their quality compared to the Ford dealer set. Have you had a chance to try the Squeegee Off yet?

Hi Frank. Not yet on Squeegee Off. Walmart didn't have it, not in the store anyway. When I get to another store, I will ask for it. I might have to order online. And yes, looking forward to your new wipers, thank you.

Rain-x works just incase.........whenever I am relocating I start with clean Ran-X windshield - just incase - seldom if ever even use the wipers.
Just one more option in a jam,
