The wipers on our 17 Challenger 37 TB would only run on S L O W, and then only you rotated the lever switch back and forth to find the Right spot! Thor authorized me to take it to a local Camping World even though our warranty was expired. The tech fixed them in about 20 mins. The wireing plug was plugged into the Motor BACKWARDS! He changed it like it was supposed to be and they've worked great since, also our front power shade has stopped LOOSING it's programing, which it did regularly. My theory on that is they were both on the same relay, or cricut and the backwards wipers, would send a glitch that made it loose programing.
Check for RECALLS !
Well our wipers work fine (has all the speeds plus Intm.) its the design and sweep of the arms (Poor design - cant beleive the GOV allows this). They are not at the correct angle to clear the windshield in front of the driver.

I moved my up some but its still not anywhere near what most people would call normal. I have to sit with my head cocked to the center of the RV to see straight out the window. And that leaves me a big blind spot to my left. Very unsafe - I try to avoid rain when possible.

I have seen some autos that have a lever on the wiper arm on the DS that made the blade straighen out at full extention which would extend the DS sweep another 3 or 4 inches at the top of the blade to cover 99% of the windsheild on the DS.

IMO this is what my Axis need.
