New windshield wiper blades
Where is the best place to buy new windshield wiper blades and what size should I be looking for to replace them on a 2015 Cornerstone?

I buy 28" Michelin blades at Costco for under $10 each. They are shorter than the original blades but plenty adequate in length. The only thing I lose is a little wiped area visibility at the top of the windshield, where I can't see anyhow due to the shades. You can get similar blades at Walmart.

I do the same. My wiper arms are saddle mount and have tried unsuccessfully to find a way to adapt them to J hook. I modify the blade which is a PITA.

X2 vs $40 each for 32 inch replacement blades.

Here's another option to keep the length of the original wipers, and what I do, buy the $10 blades, 3 of them, pull the rubber sweep out and put in your longer wiper frames with the splice down at the bottom.
I first started getting the $2.99, 28" blades at Menards for this purpose. Last time I was there, they were all gone.

When going with the Michelin blades what do you do about the metal frame being too narrow where the blade mounts, use washers for spacers??
I came to the RV Shop in Baton Rouge and their 32 inch blades were not any wider than the Michelins I saw at Walmart.

Wiper Technologies WT1000V Vented Wiper Blade - 39"
On my '18 Anthem I use the Wiper Technologies WT1000V Vented Wiper Blade - 39".
Compatible with the following:
2009-2009 Coachmen Rv Mirada Class A
2015-2018 Entegra Coach Anthem Class A (OP's coach)
2015-2018 Entegra Coach Aspire Class A
2015-2018 Entegra Coach Cornerstone Class A
2015-2016 Tiffin Motorhomes Allegro Bus Class A
2015-2017 Tiffin Motorhomes Phaeton Class A
They're available from a variety of sources.
Here's one source: https://www.etrailer.com/Windshield-...BoCMGIQAvD_BwE
The first time I ordered them, I ordered two and the S&H was almost as much as the wiper blades. I now order 4 which pushes the order above above the free S&H limit.
They are a little more expensive than the various options offered above, but these fit my '18 without any modification.
Take care,
Stu

I wound up buying a Trico Heavy Duty 32 inch blade from O Reilly Auto Parts. They were built almost identical to the 36 inch blade that was currently on my coach that I bought used in January. The only difference was the 32 inch was a little narrower at the attachment point than the 36 inch was. I made up the difference in the width with a washer.
I was going to get the 28 inch Michelin blades at Walmart but the were even narrower at the attachment point than the 32 inch heavy duty trico and they did not have a hole drilled in them for the bolt. All of the shorter Michelin blades had holes but not the 28 inch.
