Wiper Fit

I have a 2018 Vegas 24.1 with wipers in need of replacing. The wipers measure slightly under 30”. Both camping World and the Ed Felker Vegas manual state the wipers to be 32”, so I ordered 32” Trico RV wipers, which I installed today, only to find that the wipers collide when operating. Has anyone replaced these wipers for 2018 Vegas? If so what did you use?

My 2016 Axis has the same window as yours and 28” blades fit in mine. I have one 32” that fits with a 28” but it doesn’t hug the window very well. Two 28” work best.

Well the OP did not bear good news.
I also followed the advice and bought what the OP says are now worthless wipers.
The 32" might be for the bigger earlier windshield that had different wiper motor and arms.

Damn

Maybe someone at the west coast meet next weekend will want them.

Yes. The 32” that I have is left over from my 2014 Vegas that has the big window. The small window came out in 2016.

I'm sure someone could use them. I was planning on replacing mine (when needed) with the largest car wiper. Rv blades are 3x the money

I've already purchased the car wiper conversion brackets.
They're at the bottom of the mod bin.
I'll dig them out and install them.

Thanks for the reminder.

AM Equipment Wiper Blades for Vegas/Axis

My 2019 Vegas has 28" wiper blades manufactured by AM Equipment in Oregon.
I ordered two replacements for $42.10-free shipping. They have a website.
Earlier, I tried the TRICO 67-284 blades and had to return them as the J-Hook adapter is both longer and wider than required.
