Replacement Windshield Wiper Blades

Hello, I did some searching with no luck. I have a 2015 Thor Outlaw (Class A) and would like to replace the windshield wiper blades. Any advice on a good type of store to get them from ( Auto Parts, RV Dealer...)?
Thank You.

I would measure what you have, confirm what kind of mount your wiper arms have and then order from Amazon. We have done it and they are much cheaper. We couldn't exactly match the size of the wiper that came on ours but they work just fine.

X2.

Ive read several threads where others have done the same thing. The bigger blades for rv are expensive. So get the largest ones for cars. I havent shopped for them yet.

I cover my blades with a pool noodle when not driving. Hopefully it will protect tgem from the sun and will kast longer

I'll check Amazon. I like the pool noodle idea. Thanks.

I ordered from Amazon for our 27' Hurricane. Amazon Prime, $29.99 each. I also ordered covers for them but the pool noodle is a great idea.

$30 for a wiper blade is why lots of people put on 28" car wipers.

I hope my wipers stay good for a long tiime. I like to use oem products but for 3 times the price might try tbe smaller ones

An occasional wipe down with silicone will keep wipers from drying out as quickly and make them last much longer. I spray silicone on an old rag then coat the rubber blades throughly. Since RV wipers don’t get much use the drying out is what ruins them.
