Thor Forums

Just completed a 6000 mile trip across the lower United States in our Miramar 34.2. Issues were minimal except for the windshield wiper system. Our second night on the road, in Oxford Alabama during a rainstorm, the entire wiper system failed. We were forced to pull into a parking lot for the night. In the morning we located an RV repair shop about 6 miles away. They were completely familiar with the Thor windshield wiper system. They showed me where the frame that supports the motor, the linkage and the wipers had broken at a weak spot. They told us they have repaired these numerous times. They welded a piece of angle iron to the frame and sent us on our way. We contacted the national transportation safety Board about this, with the agent who we spoke to being very familiar with this problem. We filed a claim with Thor, provided proof of repair which totaled around $600. The bottom line is Thor is sending us a check for $550 for this repair. As far as adjusting the wipers, that was done by just taking the arm off the spindle and moving it to where it fit the best on the window. We never received any type of recall, and only became aware of this issue through this forum. I hope this helps others Who have experienced this problem.
