Not to say anything bad about PPL as they are a good company. However, the exact same wiper blade at RVupgrades.com is apparently $11.69 less with lower shipping charges. If purchasing two, that's a $23.38 savings by ordering from RVupgrades.com.

I'd rather support an iRV2 sponsor even if having to pay a little bit more. But supporting an iRV2 sponsor and saving money is even better.


To OP: Call RVupgrades.com for shipping charges to Canada. They will accommodate shipping to your location.

Even though I can get 32 inch wipers I go with the 28 inch. I see no loss of useable clean windshield, the wipers run more smoothly and the lighter weight has to be easier on the motor. The fact that they are cheaper and readily available has no bearing on my decision but is an added benefit.

I took the wiper arm off and went to Canadian Tire... it's a good thing I did.
The hook on the arm is wider than any wiper they had so No Luck.

I have been all over Google etc looking for these illusive wipers.

Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Dave, Denso is the original provider for your coach. The Denso rubber blade is part #LA60150-0150, if you want the entire wiper assembly it's LA847210-0840.

Hope this helps

This is one supplier. http://www.ase-supply.com/Denso_Wipe...60150-0150.htm

I ordered from RV Upgrades...shipped to the US border, getting a buddy to pick them up for me.
THANKS for all the help guys! Appreciate it.

You'll be buying from a reputable online vendor and an iRV2 sponsor. Fast shipping and satisfaction guaranteed, LOL.

Wiper Technologies WT8-32 J Hook Wiper Blade - 32"


...for $25.53 each

Use THIS LINK for the Wiper Technologies application guide for RV wipers and you can confirm the part number for you coach on page 13: Fleetwood Southwind, year 09-16 is part number WT8-32





to add: the fourth review down is from a guy with a 2014 Fleetwood Southwind and he said it was a "perfect fit."


I bought mine from RV Upgrades a couple of years ago. Fit like a glove.
