Regardless, I had this happen as well. I just wanted to report that after this was "fixed" under warranty when on a trip at Albuquerque, NM, it happened again.

I took it in to be repaired this time and they said it is because of the mechanism within the engine compartment versus the outside wiper arm or those related parts.

Thor has stepped up and will replace the entire wiper mechanism this time, even though it is out of warranty by a couple of months.

You are not the first to report the same problem and second failure. Seems to me windshield wiper failures like this could end up in a recall! Time will tell

Yes. It is obvious thar they are totally under engender for the windshield, especially in wind and "driving" (pun intended) rain.

Windshield sun screen hint
 
Screen has built in stop to prevent lowering past a set point while in motion. If driving early or late in the day with low sun angles, a couple inches lower may be needed. While stopped with engine off lower shade to desired position and head on down the road without sun in your eyes.

Don't let it get too low, I believe that there may be some states with legal requirements that could be impacted if it is blocking too much of the windshield.... At least I was told that....

I have glasses, so normal sunglasses just don't work, but I bought some of those sunglasses that wrap around your regular glasses for these times. That works well for me, in combination with the lowered shade.

I do like the sun shade bu still rely on my cap with a bill on it. I tend to get migraines when exposed to too much light and I can tilt the cap to the front or to the side to block the sun wherever it is.

Agree - I also wear duck bill cap when driving, but those of us with skin cancer must take EVERY action possible to stay out of sun.

A Mod just waiting to happen
 
Was enjoying our super quiet RV park with the sound of ocean waves breaking on the beach. On couch looking up and saw holes at both ends of roller shade recess. Gee what can I do with those when lightning struck! Tissue box, grabbed one and sure enough it is just the right size to fit in the hole. All I need to do is fab a hinged or removeable shelf with dispenser sized hole to hold tissue box upside down in the hole. OK guys go for it, It's on my list.

One of my RV-n PITA's is "set-a-bouts" the things we get out of storage and put back every time we hit the road. I am always happy when I can get rid of one more. The space is deep enough for a full size box.

Thanks!

Who was it that had the wipers screw up recently. Just happened to us too. I would like to compare notes, especially about fix, and Thor warranty.
