Wiper blades for 2014 Vista 26

Hello everyone. Looking for a set of wiper blades for a 2014 Vista 26. My local Camping World gave me a set which is the right length but will not clip onto the arm as the loop it to wide to fit

Go to the TRICO site , select RV and enter your rig info....

https://www.tricoproducts.com/produc...v-wiper-blades

Then can order from Amazon

Camping World....your rolling the dice....they ruined my exterior in an attempt to detail it... aweful long story....

One of the bigger money savers when first starting into motorhomes is learning to avoid the RV specific things as they are so overpriced as well as hard to find at the local stores.
When looking for wiper blades for a 2015 Vista, I found the RV prices were way out of sight, so did some minor fitting adjustmenst to make the regular blades fro auto parts stores fit!

I've forgotten what exactly it took but I think it was simply filing down the edges of the arm to fit!
Something so simple, I've forgotten what and sold that one so I can't look!

The J hook wiper arms come in two sizes, 9mm is standard on most vehicles, and 12mm on some RV's. My Vista happens to have the 9mm so I buy 28" blades at Walmart for a lot less than the 32" blades. I don't believe the 4" makes all that much difference and is probably easier on the wiper motors especially when it's snowing. I'm sure you could use a file or grinder to take 3mm off the J hooks on yours if you want to.

One source is rockauto.com Don't try to look them up by vehicle or part #, just drill down to wipers and select your size J hook and length.
Mine use the bolt N nut attachment, but they still cost $4 ea. for 28".
